Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “In these modern times, many are wounded for not having weapons, nor knowledge of their use.” ~ Achille Marozzo, 1536
The man charged with Boston’s double murder earlier this month, Bampumim Teixeira, had been previously (recently) convicted of two bank robberies.
Upon his conviction for armed robbery, he served a total of ONLY NINE MONTHS in prison!
The forgoing is an example of the way leftist politicians in liberal strongholds, like MA, actually promote violent crime! Anywhere liberals are in charge, violent crime is high, and ever-increasing.
Liberals covet ever-higher rates of violent crime for two reasons:
(1) Violent criminals represent a small minority whose political support, and votes, liberals openly solicit, and whose size and influence liberals thus constantly strive to increase. This is the reason liberals predictably make excuses for the behavior of violent criminals, insisting they are “justified” in committing crimes, and invent cynical terms, like “grievance-based crime” in order to rationalize evil behavior.
(2) Through violent crime, violent criminals intimidate and terrorize the rest of the population, generating demands for “increased protection,” which liberals are only too happy to provide, in the form of suffocating new restrictions on all of us who don’t commit crimes, and economic punishment of certain minorities who see through liberals’ cozenage and thus refuse to support them. Violent criminals hence do liberals’ “dirty work” for them.
The elimination of the private ownership of guns is thus the liberal “Holy Grail”
Armed citizens effectively protect themselves against violent criminals. This is unthinkable for liberals! Violent crimes should be cleaned-up afterward (amid strident demands for gun prohibition), but never prevented!
Not surprisingly, advice offered by liberal public officials (who all insist on heavily-armed protection for themselves) with regard to violent crime:
- Never offer resistance
- Give them anything they want
- Let them do anything they want
- (Never own a gun.)
Curiously, that formula was notably unsuccessful that weekend in Boston!
“Learned helplessness” and “enforced defenselessness” may be music to the ears of liberals, but they represent the death knell for the rest of us
…as we see!
“When people are paid to ‘be poor,’ we should not be astonished when we find ourselves inundated with ‘poor people.’ In the same way, we are suddenly awash with ‘victims’ when achieving that status brings reward from the government, or farmers, when paid by the state not to produce, mysteriously become non-productive.
It is an ‘enigma’ only to naive liberals.” ~ Milton Friedman

@Oldvet..no, if he attacks an armed community he’ll be stopped, if he attacks an unarmed community, we dont care, if they dont care enough to protect them selves, then why should we care?
Old Vet, no, I believe he/she’s akin to an ox, castrated and docile. He/she may have early-onset dementia, but I don’t believe he/she is capable of doing any harm. One needs to have the ability and will of mind, neither of which he/she has shown in any of his/her posts. He/she appears to be a harmless, simple-minded person that is just lacking higher-level mental acuity often found in children over 4 years old.
The article makes no difference anymore. The posts are directed towards Gil-billy and he gets all the attention. I am sure he is laughing all the way to the bank. You have to admit he accomplished what he set out to do because he is willing to put up with all the snide comments while he is winning.
Sorry, BUT NO !!
Gil is nothing but a total losing moron and idiot probably getting paid for each stupid word.
One DOES have to wonder how he manages to eat, sleep and clean himself up after a trip to the latrine, but then he probably has a Nanny that does that as well as change his depends.
The only reasons those two people are dead is because they were naive and lived in a city/State where gun ownership is almost impossible. Also” the fact that a violent criminal was allowed to skate free is the fault of a government that doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the safety of it’s tax paying citizens. As the comedian Yack Off Smirnoff once opined. “What a country.”
I wrote a comment and it displayed and than disappeared. Gil conservatives and others such as libertarians etc. don’t want criminals and crime because they don’t like to see people victimized. You don’t need to worry about guns collecting dust because they are used not only for self defense but for competition and hunting. Also since when do liberals care about money being spent in a wasteful manner? They love to do that..
Gil conservatives want a low crime rate because they don’t like crime or criminals. Gun sales will still be fine because conservatives and others such as libertarians etc. do use firearms for reasons other than just self defense such as competitive sports and hunting. So no need to worry about them collecting dust.
Why would Conservatives want a low crime rate? With uncertainty gun sales are strong. Those who are willing to commit violent crime means you have the legal right to actually use your guns. If times are peaceful buying guns is wasteful and they’ll end up gathering dust.
@Gil, your brain has gathered some wasteful cells, do us all a favor, go find a real job and stop sucking off the liberal t!t. The plague is clouding to the point of demention. I wonder Gil, do you really believe anyone takes you seriously here or are you doing this to fulfill a fantasy. I have yet seen you write anything that supports or challenge your ideals. I very rarely see you rebuttal anyone’s challenge to your intelligent comments. Oh I get it, your a small, small man disguised as a troll. Oh wait, a small, small troll disguised… Read more »
Now that’s a really ‘Gil-logical’ posting!
Gil, because we enjoy neighborhoods and work environments that are crime-free. As Jim stated we will still being purchasing, owning and using firearms as we always have, for many reasons. Most firearms are *not* purchased for self-defense purposes. I, personally, enjoy target shooting; it is fun and relaxing, which is my primary reason for firearm ownership, but my reason(s) for firearm ownership is not relevant, it’s a right and requires no justification, just as it is your right to continually post gibberish on this site. Unlike the 2A, your right to post to online forums *can* be revoked without cause… Read more »
Nope. Note how the NRA was just a rifle fancier club whereas nowadays it, like all gun groups, make a big to do about “self-defense” and “taking the U.S. Government.” They’re slow to enjoy guns for their own sake.
Sorry but once again your totally minuscule brain cell has gotten it wrong again. The NRA was formed to #1. protect gun rights for all Americans #2. to protect and regain GUN RIGHTS for Minorities whom the dimocraps had worked to disarm both in the South and in Dimocrap dominated Northern cities and states.. #3. They are about Protecting the RIGHTS under the Second Amendment which allows for Self-Defense. #4. IF you had anything besides a liberal indoctrination, you would KNOW that the right to bear arms (2nd Amend Again) was to be sure that our Democratic REPUBLIC was not… Read more »
Gil, you went from railing against Conservatives wanting safe neighborhoods to the NRA, claiming the NRA is only concerned (primarily?) with self-defense. Not only are you wrong but you are off-topic.
We legally use our firearms daily, or at frequently. I was just at the range two days ago having fun target shooting.
then WHY do the five MILLION paying members of the NRA continue to PAY for their membership? if AARP or USAA don’t do what I think they should do with my membership fees, I stop paying them. I go find someone else who WILL spend MY money to promote what I value. THIS is why 5,000,000 people pay the NRA every year….. because NRA speak for them, and do what THEY want done. And yes, the continued RIGHT to own the tools most suited for self defence IS one of the key issues those five millions pay NRA to promote.… Read more »
Because they were children who grew up on TV & movie cowboys and renegade cops where the law enforcement was done at individual level. It was there that individual enforcement meted the correct justice but if left to the court systems the crooks would be given a slap on wrist and sent back to society. Those children who grew up on that want to reorganize the legal system to reflect that. It’s the same way “50 Shades Of Gray” have seen a spike in people turning up in emergency centers with sex acts gone wrong.
@mas N. Gil, occupation: shill, “Why would Conservatives want a low crime rate?” you ask. Maybe you should ask them, all of them. I am sure that each one would answer differently. Oh, and get back to us when you are done.
Gil, stuff it where the sun don’t shine.
@Robert T, Its ok, Gil is just drunk, that’s all.
@ gil…i just read the Chicago tribune, last weekend 40 people were shot, law abiding citizens are not allowed to have a gun, now would you like to pick any republican or libertarian controlled town and compare it with Chicago?..we warned you, if guns are banned, only criminals will have guns..
If the thug had been tried and convicted in Federal court for the two bank robberies (by note) he could have been required to do three years for each crime in Federal lockup. I suspect that the Obama DOJ had much to do with why this was not done. Just another benefit of the last eight years of democrat “leadership.” There is no shortage of blood on democrat hands
instead of putting pressure on the States to start enforcing their own laws, youd rather have the Feds take care of it..the Constitution gives authority to the US Government to enforce three laws..
Which do you think will have a more effective result, doing it your way or doing it my way? The real solution to the criminal justice problem will never be enacted so we continue to play the game.
