NO!
Obama’s Bloody Shirt
Townhall – Paul Jacob – 3/31/2013
Reasonable people take into
account facts that lie outside the horror of one event’s official narrative.
Facts like:
Murder rates by guns have
declined since their high point
in the very early 1990s. Dramatically.
Mass shootings are not actually
increasing in frequency.
If you take away
black-on-black crime, U.S.
murder rates are amongst the lowest in the world, making the focus on America ’s
gun tradition a little off point — it’s the cultural and economic degradation
of African-America sub-cultures that constitutes the real problem.
Much of the focus of the
latest round of gun regulation has been on inconsistently defined “assault
weapons,” which have little to do with most gun violence.
Still, the president
implores, “We need everybody to remember how we felt a hundred days ago and
make sure that what we said at that time wasn’t just a bunch of platitudes —
that we meant it.”
In other words, let’s allow
emotion to overrule our rational faculties and pass whatever gun control laws
are proposed in the wake of the horrible Newtown, Connecticut, school massacre
(even when the policy being advanced would admittedly make no difference in
preventing a future Newtown).
Why?
