Virginia – -(Ammoland.com)- One of the key principles that Virginia Citizens Defense League has always maintained is that gun control is worthless for stopping, or even lowering, crime.
Gun control only infringes on the rights, safety, and security of good people, while handing a major tactical advantage to criminals or empowering political tyrants who wish to dominate a society.
As Chicago shows every day, gun control actually makes life more dangerous for the person being controlled. In Chicago they have as many murders each and every month as there were in that highly unusual event in Las Vegas. Yet, the gun controllers are as quiet as church mice about that, as it is proof positive that gun control fails to make anyone, except criminals, safer.
Gun control was established in the United States with the primary purpose of keeping one minority or another from having access to guns, thus allowing those populations to be controlled more easily by another group, be it whites controlling blacks or Irish controlling Italians.
Way too many people start their thinking with a false premise: “No one needs a machine gun, so no one needs an accessory that will make a semi-automatic shoot almost as fast as a machine gun.”
In a free society, that is an odd statement. Being free is not about what someone NEEDS (especially something that some legislator or nameless bureaucrat determines you NEED), but about what someone WANTS.
None of us NEED an automobile that can go faster than 30 miles an hour. Heck, none of us NEED an automobile. None of us NEED a television set, much less 2 or 3 of them. None of us NEED indoor plumbing. But we WANT all of those things and much, much more!
If I want a machine gun because it is fun to shoot or I believe it would be useful for self-defense or for any other lawful reason, then I should be able to own one without seeking government permission. (People whose lives are deemed more valuable than ours are surrounded by men with machine guns – the government clearly sees the benefit of machine guns for defense.)
There are plenty of laws to take care of ANY misuse of that machine gun that I might commit.
Banning, or further controlling or restricting, bump-fire accessories is just more useless, feel good, gun control. No, thanks.

Gun Control as usually peddled doesn’t work, and 2 + 2 = 4 still. Amazing isn’t it.
It is very telling that the government that assigns a term of ‘assault weapon’ for our AR variants then calls theirs ‘PDWs’,,,,,,,,Personal Defense Weapons. They claim defense while we are accused of assault. Guess they are afraid of us,,,,,,,,,,as it should be.
Amen,Amen and Amen. Great writing brother Phillip Van Cleave. Keep writing the truth and pointing out facts about gun control not working in Chicago. I just want to scream to some Chicago officials How’s that gun control workin for ya?
Again, great article man keep on preaching it bro.
@PPP, I notice that a certain past pres. of the U.S.(whose various names and akas are not worthy of mention here) did not go back to live in Chicago after he got rich as president.
@ wild Bill, hey where have you been? We have missed your comments and interchange of information for a while. Good to see you back.
Its amazing how corruption stays put in DC. How about modifying the Las Vegas ad “what happens in DC stays in DC”, but it is to bad Obamanation doesn’t return to Chicago, maybe he could face some kind of punisment for giving the people ole Rahm and himself. Imagine the people having to put up with a foul mouth moron and a liar, maybe the liar becomes a statistic.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League is right!
