Canadian shooter with common sense

[The Viper]

I've known this gentleman for over 20 years. He's a top competitive shooter in several disciplines. His example of liberals and gun control is so basic and note worthy, that I just had to post his Utube posting.

 

[jobhopper66]

Thank you for posting that. That gentleman's take on the situation is spot on.

 

[Bill K]

He is correct, but the anti-gun, politicians and fruitcakes can not understand logic and the truth on what will occur, with criminals and the use of so many tools, if they want to assault and kill someone.

 

[jds holler]

Banning guns from law abiding citizens is equally as logical as banning booze from sober drivers. -- or taking cars away from sober drivers....

It is odd that these lib-tards don't seem to want to prohibit deadly drugs which are causing a hundred thousand over-dose deaths in a years time.

Here in Oregon, these morons have decriminalized almost every type of dope for what they consider "personal use" quantities.

And of course they ignore the fact that defensive firearms of all types are used millions of times every year to prevent crimes and death, proving their importance as a tool for good. I'm trying to decide if heroin or meth could be considered a tool for good. jd

If you want to kill, you will. You only need to choose how you will do the deed. Lately, it seems, the automobile is the weapon of choose. On Detroit’s Belle Isle last week a deranged individual veered off the road, over a couple curbs, over a service drive, and onto a beach to ram through a crowd, killing one and seriously injuring another. He had a “Demonic Impulse” he said after being found on the west side of the city. In Virginia a crazed person drove through a demonstrating group and killed a couple people. At Christmas time in Milwaukee another nut being the wheel drove into a Christmas parade and killed some of the “Dancing Grannies”. All one needs to do is choose their weapon.

He has hit the nail on the head! Pun intended. Unfortunately, he is using common sense. Politicians and progressive anti gunners have no use for and abhor common sense. " my mind is made up, don't try to confuse me with facts"

He does point out some simple logical ways to combat the progressive anti gunners arguments. But it will just drive them crazier and they'll probably call you racist and shout you down.

Great video!

I totally agree . . . banning is NOT the solution! Though we do ban the public from having military weapons, with a few exceptions.

So. . . what is the solution?

I hear a lot from those who are up up in arms about banning, but nothing about common sense solutions. Or are we just throwing up our hands and saying there's simply no acceptable solution?

We do have government imposed speed limits on our roads and highways . . . as a solution to a problem.

Is there something that can be done about mass shootings?

The current disease took decades to nurture and cultivate . It will take just as long if not longer to change the mentality . Between now and then there will be a heavy price to pay !

I would argue that the solution is the same whether guns are available to the public or not.

How would you stop a crazed killer with an axe, or a sword, or an aluminum baseball bat?

Obviously with a gun.

The benefit to the public when guns are used is that we are quickly alerted to the sound of shots, and respond as best we can.... Hard to hear someone getting attacked with a samurai sword though. That makes it more difficult to be aware of a mass killer... and sword attacks do happen in places with gun control.

These lib-tards aren't being indoctrinated about drugs or automobile related deaths at almost every waking hour like they are about how evil guns are. There is a full scale assault on the Second Amendment by those that hide their nefarious assault behind the First Amendment. What they don't seem to understand is the Second Amendment protects the First Amendment. The Second Amendment is the keystone to freedom.

Mostly they are just using the current tragedies to further their wish list that they had long before any of this came about. It's just a convenient time and I don't believe that most really believe it will solve the problem, but it's the right time to push their anti-gun agenda. If the type of legislation proposed was really the solution, NYC, Chicago and LA would be super safe cities to live in, since they've had severe restrictions for firearms ownership for a long time.

 

[Pyscodog]

The problem with this video is........He's preaching to the choir. As legitimate responsible gun owners, we know that banning guns is only going to effect the legitimate responsible gun owners. The problem is getting the anti's to understand that. And that's like trying to nail jello to a wall. They aren't listening.

This....is exactly right.

 

[hpshooter]

So. . . what is the solution?

At least start at square number 1. Impose the maximum federal required penalty on convicted felons caught in possession of a firearm. This charge is seldom prosecuted and often bargained away.

There is no way that evil will be totally eliminated by us mere mortals.

Where have you been??

While I agree 100% with the video, it is not a very good argument to use against the anti-gunners.

They would point out that hammers are very effective at driving nails. Banning hammers makes it harder to drive nails, and the less nails that are driven the less people will die. Sure, it makes things a little less convenient for carpenters, but isn't a little inconvenience worth saving lives?

That is a false and dishonest argument, but that's the logic they use. We need to reject their argument completely, and stick to the position that we need to reinvigorate the rule of law and reinvigorate our mental health system if we want to stop violent behavior.

I’ll use a drill. Screws > Nails... With the intent, I will still accomplish my goal with a different tool.

Wait! Let’s ban all tools, because civilians cannot be trusted to build for themselves. The permits and codes in place are not effective at ensuring that work is done safely. Then the populous will have to depend on the government to build houses, businesses, and restaurants. Then everything will be to code, which will be effectively and fairly judged by government officials (who never take bribes from the monopolized industry supplying the resources...)!

While not a huge fan of AR-15 the ease of availability seem to lead to them towards being the weapon of choice beyond hammers. People who wish to kill others or themselves will always find a way whether it be over the gun counter or a tool out of the shed or even make a gun in the garage as did my best friend several years ago, mental illness is most certainly real.

 

[Pyscodog]

I've tried to use examples, If a drunk driver ran his car into a crowd killing 20 men,women and children, do you ban the driver, the car, or the alcohol? I said, I bet the driver. I never got a real answer and got everything from no one kills 20 people with a car or that wasn't a good example, blah blah blah. They sure won't ban the car and because so many drink, they sure as hell won't ban booze. My point was they are first to blame the gun, not the shooter. But here again....preaching to the choir.
