Opinion

“In the interest of public safety, we’re confiscating your guns. And no, you won’t be getting them back.”
Ray Nagin, the Democratic mayor of New Orleans, in August of 2005, during Hurricane Katrina.
“Hell Yes, We’re going to take your AR-15s, your AK-47s.”
Beto O’Rourke, Democratic presidential candidate, 2019.
“I support a mandatory ‘buy-back’ (forced confiscation) program.”
Kamala Harris, Democratic presidential nominee, 2023.
The foregoing Democrat politicians, while sleazy of course, occasionally give an honest voice to their Party’s draconian, forceful gun-confiscation agenda (at least episodically) in inadvertent moments of honesty. I think we should take them at their word!
Violent, mentally-ill, drug-addicted vagrants (including many illegal immigrants), have been, by these same Democrats, dubiously re-christened “The Homeless,” and subsequently released (and perpetually re-released, despite multiple felony arrests) to ‘colonize’ our formerly beautiful public places, which used to be enjoyed by the rest of us, but are now filthy, crime-invested, disease-ridden open-sewers.
“Homeless” is a dishonest title, deliberately designed to make these dangerous outlaws appear “benign.”
When wolves are “reintroduced” to an area by naive “wildlife biologists,” prey species predictably suffer, and that includes much domestic livestock.
Likewise, when VCA and EDPs are “reintroduced” into communities by liberal “criminal-justice reformers,” to no one’s surprise, law-abiding citizens suffer.
Like wolves that casually enter fenced-in pastures to kill sheep, VCAs and EDPs go into “nice areas” and murder citizens. Apex predators (human and animal) have scant regard for fences, nor for arbitrary political boundaries, nor for property lines, nor for other symbolic barriers.
In December of last year, a “transient man” entered a tanning salon in Loveland, CO, and precipitously attacked several people there with a claw hammer. Two of his victims were very seriously injured.
This “homeless man” was well-known to local police and had been arrested previously, multiple times. Local police and the media then assured us that this vicious attack was “random.”
“Random” is another less-than-honest term, frequently used by less-than-honest politicians, to convince the rest of us that we have nothing to worry about!
If I were a cartoonist, I would illustrate this cynical deceit by drawing two sheep talking with each other, as they watched a wolf enthusiastically devouring a recently-killed ewe.
“Lucky for us that was just a ‘random attack,’ eh?” says one sheep to the other.
“Yup, nothing to worry about now,” comes the reply from the second.
“Random violence” should cause thinking citizens to exhibit genuine concern, not to just relax and say to themselves, “Wow, sure glad that wasn’t me!”
We have enormous numbers of unvetted illegal aliens within our borders. Criminal justice “reforms” have virtually emptied jails and prisons. Mental-health “reforms” have put an end to mental hospitals and asylums.
Staggering numbers of these dangerous and unstable “homeless” are now out, unsupervised, and in our communities, and the situation will not improve any time soon.
Routinely carrying a sidearm, as emergency personal safety equipment, requires sacrifices in terms of comfort, clothing, lifestyle- no doubt.
Yet, thanks to “liberal reformers,” we all have plenty of opportunity to be selected to be “random victims,” as we see!
Be advised, the wise and prudent are never loved by the shallow, ignorant, and stupid.
“The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise, they will win and decent people will loose” ~ James Earl Jones.

It’s been said by many others, but when they tell you they want to vacate your rights and control your life, believe them.
After all my guns have been outlawed and confiscated (in Virginia this year), I will be taking comfort that I have a good slingshot posted at each door of my house, with a handful of 00 Buck pellets for ammo. At anything over 7 yards, the counter-violence carried out on a perpetrator can only be random and reloading after each shot will be slow. Wish me luck.
John always nails it. VOTE! … stay prickly.
However poor the reason, there is purpose in a 1st degree murder. But murder in the 3rd degree? When a victim is chosen at random, like the Ukrainian woman stabbed to death on a New York subway, should a lesser sentence be imposed? I find that to be a more heinous crime and deserves a greater penalty. “Random” is not an inappropriate adjective, but it is the victim that is random, not the crime.
lf there’s a Dem around, you can be sure that they are inherently violent, and there’s nothing random about that. lt may not have shown itself……yet.
What is it with these older white women protesting ICE and supporting illegals? Saw a video of them following ICE vehicles blowing their car horns, blowing whistles, and calling each other on cell phones to use their cars block off streets to stop ICE agents. Article said that each week, one white woman is raped and murdered by a illegal in America. Do these women support that? They are still angry that hee haw Harris lost the election. If she had won, there would be another 20 to 50 million illegals entering America. All part of the far leftist democrats… Read more »
