Deceit

Heather Martens is either illiterate, stupid, or a lying, power-hungry panic-monger.

She is also wrong, conceptually and factually. More later.

Insanity and Lies

Unhealthy:

I can’t do it. I can’t talk about guns or weapons without feeling sick and sad, even fearful.

Local Activism

First, the socialist ninnies:

The Welfare Rights Committee started in 1992. We are group of low-income people fighting so poor families can survive, not just for now, but for the future.

You do NOT have a right to my life, or my work. If you don't like your station in life, go to school, get a better job, do something! Don't try to take what I have worked for.

Next, the pro-terrorist pacifists, presented without comment:

In the fall of 1981, ten women began to meet in Loretta’s Tea Room in Minneapolis to figure out how to most effectively respond to the threat of nuclear war....

Crime Rates

In response to the comments on this post:

Last year, there were 162 crimes committed from a pool of 56919 permit holders in Minnesota. That's a 0.28461497918094133769040215042429% crime rate. Of those 162 crimes, only 10 involved a gun, that's 0.01756882587536674240148280890388%. Violent crimes made up 40 of the 162, keeping in mind that only 10 of the 162 involved guns, that about a 0.07% crime rate.

Legal gun owners are self-selected to be the most law abiding group in existence. There is no demographic with a smaller crime rate.

That said, most gun control and all gun registration laws in the US have specific exclusions for felons. Requiring a felon to register a gun he can't legally own would be a violation of his right against self-incrimination, so he's not required to do so. That means, for the dense, that gun control is aimed solely at law-abiding gun owners. Criminals are never, ever the target, regardless of the rhetoric.

Gun control is about control, not guns.

Lions and Tigers and GFWs,

Oh my!
