Polticians prefer unarmed peasants

March 29, 2018 |

It does not surprise me that former presidents were able to work across party lines to promote gun control, or citizen disarmament.  I once saw a bumper sticker with the message “politicians prefer unarmed peasants.”  When Samuel Colt invented the cap and ball revolver it was the high capacity rapid fire weapon of its day. Today the Cult of Citizen Disarmament wants to ban the AR-15, tomorrow it will be something else.  But they never want to address the real problems. We should be asking ourselves “Why?”

All of these school shootings involves police not enforcing existing laws that the gun control lobby said it wanted.  In the latest case Cruz aimed his handgun at a woman. The sheriff said there was nothing he could do, and everyone is believing him like characters out of a George Orwell novel. Nothing he can do?  Has he ever heard of threatening to kill someone?  If the Cruz aimed a gun at Sheriff Israel’s head do any of us believe the sheriff would have done nothing?  

Now the victims are traveling throughout the USA running up travel expenses and telling us we need more gun control.  They are not divulging who they voted for sheriff. Nor are they finding fault with police inaction in school shootings.  They will just demand eventual gun confiscation and the shootings will continue.   They would stop the neighbor of a church where a shooting occurred from getting his rifle and stopping the person who was shooting up a church.  And no one is questioning them.
