Weer'd World

The first image I have is pretty straight forward:

Yep, fat, creepy, menacing, crazy-eyed, this is what all 2nd Amendment activists look like. Well except for all of them. Of course Democrats have done this before:

I know a lot of black people, and they didn’t even get the COLOR right. These don’t even look like humans. Of course that’s the point. In the Democrat-Controlled Jim Crow South they didn’t consider Black citizens as human, or even citizens.

That’s the point, and what’s going on here. Better to make the pro-gun people look more like Warcraft Orcs than humans because ENEMY! It’s much easier to hate what is alien to you, than your next door neighbor who owns guns and doesn’t support stupid laws. Hell easier to just paint us as monsters than even TALK about their political agenda because even up-front honesty is a losing strategy.

BTW have you noticed that when pro-gun cartoons occasionally pop up (The “Progressives” generally have that market cornered, but pro-liberty people can draw too!) have you noticed that the anti-gun straw is generally drawn looking like an average person, and the satire is in the actions and dialog of the anti-rights person?

I just did a quick google image search and I had to wade through dozens of anti-rights cartoons to find these two:

In the first one the violent guy and the gun control guy look pretty much the same, and given that there is no context given this is neither a positive or negative comparison, just his words set him up as illogical and irrational.

The second one the “gun control” guy is in a suit, and good looking. This is a POSITIVE image, but since he’s acting like a fool it sends the message.

Still with a reality like this:

The bulk of the anti-gun forces are aging woodstock hippies with grey hair, and upper-middle-class lives. Yet we always seem to portray anti-gun people as an everyman with a logic problem rather than an out-of-touch hippie in the Autumn of their years. I’m fine with this.

Next up is this little bit of hilarity.

Now here’s a question for the readers. Is this a straw man, or is it how they REALLY see the world? The gun calling the shots and the “gun nut” just along for the ride?

Also here’s a great example of standard anti-gun cartoons. Yeah we can tell both guns are supposed to be AR-Style rifles, and the sight on the one we see the most of looks a bit like a Trijicon ACOG. Still the artist has no idea how any of these devices work, so the more you look at them the more non-functional the rifles and scopes look. I mean the ejection port is on the wrong side, and looks non-functional, there’s no safety lever on the gun. The stock appears to drop off for no reason in the back. The mag well looks more like an AK-style one. What’s with all the pokey bits on that gun? I’d hate to shoot one, as it would likely feel like holding a cheese grater! Also what’s with those front sights?

They don’t understand the first thing about guns, but that doesn’t mean they’re not knowledgeable to demand their ban, and restrictions on our rights.

A lot you can learn from looking at the channels where the antis talk to each other!

This image has been blowing up in the anti-gun circles, as well as the circles of “Progressives” in general.

So the pro-gun saying goes: Owning a Piano does not make you a pianist. I own a REALLY nice keyboard, and the only (and I mean ONLY) song I can play on it is “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” (OK I can also play “Baa Baa Black Sheep” and the Alphabet Song…but since they’re all the same song that isn’t saying much). I have a few sheet music samples of a few Warren Zevon songs that I plan to learn, but I haven’t logged any practice so I can’t play them.

Yep, I own a piano, sheet music, and training books, but I can’t play crap. See the tools mean crap. Now I used to play a little piano and used to be able to read sheet music by sight, and I’m familiar with all these songs, but that was 15 years ago when I last seriously was playing music. If I practiced more seriously I could probably have a lot to show for all this, but I simply haven’t committed to that time.

Now let’s look at the PEOPLE and their actions in the pictures. From the article the American woman is simply a conservative woman who uses social media to support her conservative beliefs against abortion, and defense of the 2nd Amendment, and the 1st Amendment, specifically as a Christian. She’s a married mother with no criminal history.

The other woman is this beast.

She’s a radical Muslim convert from Ireland who is now a fugitive from justice for a laundry list of terrorist acts.

So there’s the difference. One is an average woman standing up for the enumerated rights in the US Constitution, rights that “Progressives” who have been posting this image around the internet have ZERO respect for. The other is a dangerous terrorist who has been involved with several mass murders and has expressed desire to kill many more.

I’d say the difference is HUGE!

Now let’s zoom back to the broader scope, and some lovely “Progressive” projection. Let’s blank out the faces or change the identity of the two women, and just make them both generic people in context of the background. Now Ms. Fisher is about as average a woman as they come. There is nothing unique to her views, really the only thing that stands her against the average conservative woman is the fire in her belly about defending her rights, and her above average good looks. (Which I mean in all due respect from a married man to a married woman. You’re gorgeous, and I’m glad you’re using your photogenic nature to defend our rights)

Now let’s make a generic Islamic woman behind the green flag of Islam with a rifle and her Koran. Maybe she’s one of the women fighting against the oppressive regimes of the many Islamic theocracies out there, like the many women we saw in the Iranian uprising a few years ago. Many of whom gave their lives for freedom they never got.

If that was the case I’d say “You go Girl!” because most Muslim women are NOT international terrorists, or mass murderers, and a rifle in a woman’s hand only represents power, and nothing else.

The “Progressives” assume that since they HATE Ms. Fisher so much for not letting them trample our rights, and not standing down to our corrupt government, that people on the other side of the debate have as much hate as they do.

Nope. I called the terrorist a “Beast”, not because she’s a woman, or a Muslim, or even because she’s holding a rifle and a Koran. I called her a beast because she has been party to, and wants to continue to kill innocent people. Hell that’s why I own guns, in case some asshole like her wants to kill me or mine, I can kill them first and live my merry life.

I don’t care what race, creed, or sexual orientation you are, all I care about is the content of your character.

So yeah, I’d say there is a lot of differences between the two images, and if the differences I enumerated above weren’t there, I wouldn’t care one wit about armed women.

Because Unlike “Progressives” my primary motivation is not hate.
