USA – -(Ammoland.com)- True to form, and consistent with Rahm Emanuel’s advocacy to never let a serious crisis go to waste, citizen disarmament swindlers and other totalitarian lobby shills have taken to social and “regular” media to lay blame for Friday’s Colorado Planned Parenthood murders on groups that stand in the way of their goals. Those include gun owners, right to life activists, Republicans, Christians, white males, and others “progressives” view as impediments and threats to their objective of total control.
That’s typical collectivist thinking. Blame a group you want to marginalize and demonize for the actions of a misfit aberration, and draw fraudulent generalized conclusions from which to infringe on rights and increase the state’s control.
Consistent with that, early news accounts related that Barack Obama had been briefed on the incident while it was an in-progress standoff. And consistent with those wishing to “fundamentally transform” the Republic, the talking point that Constitutionalists — accused by those who hate what they stand for of being “home grown terrorists” — pose a greater danger than Islamic State jihadists is being mirrored and parroted.
At this writing, little is known about the suspected killer [see update, below] except his name, which will not be mentioned here, his age and that he came from North Carolina (and that he may be a peeping tom/cruel to animals). Despite that, presumptions are being made and conclusions are being drawn and spread by those who view the slaughter of others as opportunities to advance their agenda. About the only fair inference to be made at this time is that on top of everything else, the killer must be a wretched coward, willing to murder, but when his time came to face immediate, certain death, he chose life, surrendering to police who showed him more mercy than he showed his victims.
But say the “worst fear” is realized, that the murderer turns out to be a self-professed NRA-supporting Christian “conservative.” His actions belie and deny everything each of those “labels” stands for. They show he grasps nothing about principles professed by those groups, and they do nothing to transfer his sole guilt to anyone else.
Predictably, the enthusiastic blood dancing and knee-jerk demands for more “gun control” have commenced with eye-rolling feeding frenzy fervor, along with no shortage of hate-filled tirades against “ammosexuals.” And naturally, the political temptation will exist to “do something.” Here’s what to keep in mind:
Nothing will be enough. Nothing would have had a chance to stop or minimize these killings except armed citizens on the scene. Even if the goal of total citizen disarmament were enacted, which is what the goal is, that would depend on everyone obeying such edicts, and on government officials and functionaries benevolent and wise enough not to abuse absolute power.
Now, as always, advocates for the right of the people to keep and bear arms must hold fast, not waver, and not listen to the phony siren call of “compromise.” That’s not possible with those who will greedily take what they have no moral claim to, one piece at a time, but who won’t be satisfied until they have it all.
Now, as always, the unified position of serious gun rights activists must remain:
- WE WON’T STAND FOR SCAPEGOATING
- NO NEW GUN LAWS
- REPEAL EXISTING INTOLERABLE ACTS
- DENY SUCCESS TO MASS MURDERERS BY ABOLISHING PHONY ‘GUN-FREE’ VICTIM ZONES NOW
- POLITICIANS: WORK WITH US OR WE WILL WORK TO RETIRE YOU
Along with that, there’s one final response to those demanding our guns anyway, and this is bolstered by the latest “We will not comply” example — from Los Angeles of all places — where orders to turn in banned magazines have resulted in a 100% noncompliance rate:
No. Your move.
UPDATE– Per Gateway Pundit:
COURT RECORDS: Colorado Planned Parenthood Shooter NOT Republican, Identifies as Woman
UPDATE: Planned Parenthood may not have even been an intended target.

I haven’t heard anything about the babies that were murdered at this facility without the use of any firearms at all.
What a shocker that the mental illness known as transsexualism is linked to some nutjob. So not only is this guy a tranny, but Colorado passed a “background check” and magazine capacity law a couple years ago, yet it did nothing to stop the shooting.
Then I should blame the auto makers , oil companies , and others that enabled a drunk driver to run me over , Still suffer pain 32 years later. Well I think not , it’s A PERSON’S CHOICE , to commit a crime. The Person is to blame .
Amen Brother…!

Here is the truth, this tool is closely tied to UAF, a Uber Liberal group who throws the term “Fascist” around loosley.
Their idea of “compromise” is capitulation. We have been “compromising” for decades. The elitists will never be satisfied, even if they do manage to confiscate and destroy or control every firearm on the planet. It is not in their nature to ever be satisfied because; their greedy desire for control is infinite. Backing up and allowing more encroachments into our liberties is out of the question. A statement from Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest, CSA comes to mind: During the heat of battle at Parker’s Crossroads a staff officer raced up to inform Forrest that enemy troops were attacking from… Read more »
Everyone needs to know – This incident didn’t even start at Planned Parenthood – but started outside on the roadside of an Eye Clinic. It does make it “convenient” however for everyone to say this had something to do with Planned Parenthood so that everyone can now “like” them & try to take away the guns etc….
