Guav is a pro-gun lefty from NYC. A rare breed, but I won’t admonish him on this issue. I really got a kick out of this line found over at Baldr’s.
When people who claim to want to devote their time to saving lives ignore things that actually save them, and focus on things that may or may not work (assuming they even get the legislation passed), I have to wonder how seriously they really are about saving lives.
As the saying goes, “Gun control is what you do instead of something”, he also makes a huge point about the fact that most people from the Gun Control Lobby burn most of their calories attempting to pass gun control laws that never have a chance of getting passes. That’s a double-dose of fail. There’s no evidence that shows that these laws have ANY effect on violent crime rates, but it doesn’t matter because the law will never pass.
Of course its also telling that these very people always use the metric of “Gun Death”, because death by any other means isn’t relevant to them or their goals. Furthermore I’ve been seeing a lot of this “Developed Nation Not at War”, meanwhile the definition of “Developed Nation” doesn’t appear to be medicine, or technology or energy, or GDP, but “Gun Death”.
Now I couldn’t say if their behavior is conscious or subconscious, but either way it isn’t rational, or logical. Certainly it isn’t “Common Sense”.
