Shall Not Be Infringed. (May 29, 2010)
… the right of the People to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
When [Mexican president Felipe] Calderon asked that the federal “assault weapon” ban be re-imposed, a very large number of U.S. Representatives and Senators present gave him a standing ovation.
However, on Monday the FBI released crime statistics that should cause the applauding anti-gunners to sit on their hands.
FBI Data Again Shows More Guns = Less Crime
The statistics indicate that between 2008 and 2009, as gun sales soared, the number of murders in our country decreased 7.2 percent. That amounts to about an 8.2 percent decrease in the per capita murder rate, after the increase in our nation’s legal and illegal population is taken into account. And it translates into about a 10.5 percent decrease in the murder rate between 2004, when the ban expired, and the end of 2009. And finally, it means that in 2009 our nation’s murder rate fell to a 45-year low.
If crime reduction and saving lives were the sole reason behind the anti-gun bigot’s campaign, statistics like this FBI report and thousands of reports before would be enough to convince them that their logic is flawed. They would have dropped the subject long ago and moved on to some other stupidity to whine about.
But crime reduction and saving lives are simply the lies behind which they hide their true agenda – disarming the American people.
… murders in big cities declined over 11 percent between 2008 and 2009, translating to over a 12 percent decrease in the big city murder per capita rate. We hope, but don’t expect, that the indisputable fact that an increase in gun ownership does not necessarily correspond to an increase in crime, will reduce the frequency of Bloomberg’s stunts aimed at gun shows, and Daley’s periodic rants against the firearm industry.
You should be asking yourself why the leftists want to disarm the people. Once the people are disarmed, what happens then?
The progressive liberals in congress have demonstrated they have absolutely no regard for the opinions of the people by passing the Hellth Scare bill and making it law. They have shown their disrespect for us nearly every day since gaining power in 2006. We are naught but a source of income to them, the more power they wield over us, the better they like it.
Of all their evil goals, taking our guns is their holy grail; because once they have our guns there will be no dissent, no argument, no tolerance for the mouthy demands for freedom.
