So as you read the wife is feeling a lot better, and because of that, my spirits are high enugh to take back this grizzly mantle of showing what bigots the anti-rights activists are.
Also this goes out to Joan of the Million Mom March, and the Brady Campaign, and her latest post that shows just how little the advocates of “Sensible” gun control care about people being killed. First from Joan:
Alaska does actually have the 2nd highest firearms death rate per 100,000 in the country, behind Washington D.C. No wonder people think they need guns in those places to protect themselves. The gun laws are, of course, vastly different between Alaska and D.C. Washington D.C. had banned handguns in homes until the Supreme Court Heller Decision.
She later finds the statistical crutch used to create this cooked number. Alaska, being that has brutal and dark winters, has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation…and 50% of all suicides in America are done by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. So Joan overlooks the violent crime problem in Washington DC AND Ingres half of Alaska’s suicides as irrelevant to her cause. Yep there isn’t a heart in that woman, and her blood must have ice crystals in it! Also Joan and her Brady Masters don’t see the relevance in This Story
Convicted killer Cal Coburn Brown was executed early Friday by lethal injection for the rape, torture and murder of a Seattle-area woman, after delivering a statement complaining he was treated unfairly by the legal system….Brown confessed to killing the 21-year-old Washa during an interrogation in California for an alleged assault on a woman there. He later led authorities to Washa’s battered body, which was inside the trunk of a car.
Brown, who is from San Jose, Calif., had a history of violence against women, including a 1977 conviction in California for assaulting a woman with a knife at a shopping center. He also served 7 1/2 years — the minimum sentence — for assaulting another woman in Oregon in 1984.
Seems Brown didn’t much care for guns…instead he did his dirty work with knives, his hands, and his penis. I’m sure the Brady Campaign and Ms. Peterson see NO reason why this man needed to be imprisoned or executed. I mean to them his crimes are completely irrelevant.
It is not worth pointing out to her, but it is historically demonstrable that banning firearms does not curb suicides:
Simply put, those who would have shot themselves, hanged themselves instead. Something tells me that given the Alaskan environment, and the kind of people who choose to live up there permanently, they would have no problem offing themselves even if their firearms were to somehow, magically, disappear.
But such a leap of common sense requires both logic and rational thought, which Joan there obviously lacks.
“But such a leap of common sense requires both logic and rational thought, which Joan there obviously lacks.”
She’s a professional lobbyist, It wouldn’t surprise me if she is 100% aware of this relationship (or simply aware of the void in anti-rights talking points), she KNOWS her laws and policies will do jack-shit to suicide numbers….and then she purposefuly exploits the horrible tragedy that is Suicide for the sake of an agenda.
Hell even a total moron can realize that her sister wasn’t killed with an “Assault Weapon”, and I’m sure she knows he didn’t acquire his guns though the “Gunshow Loophole”, yet out comes her sister’s corpse for these issues.
That’s what Evil looks like!
I left a detailed analysis regarding Australian Gun control laws and their crime rate. Waiting to see if it makes it out of moderation.
I’m not holding my breath.
One quote from the Australian Government:
Another factor for consideration is the change in weapon use. Since 1989-90, the proportion of homicides committed with a firearm has declined, while the proportion committed with a knife or a blunt instrument has increased. However, only the change in firearm-based homicides is significant (Kendall’s tau = -0.62, p<0.05), which suggests that differential firearm use is associated with, but not necessarily impacting on,patterns of homicide occurring in australia over the past 20>
