Not All Anti-Gunners Willing to Wait for Slippery Slope

Not All Anti-Gunners Willing to Wait for Slippery Slope

To hear most proponents of "gun control" tell it, those of us who warn that the anti-gun agenda's endpoint is a total ban of private gun ownership are "paranoid" to believe such a thing. President Obama has himself made this claim:

"Part of the challenge we confront is that even the slightest hint of some sensible, responsible legislation in this area fans this notion that somehow, 'Here it comes, everybody's guns are going to be taken away,'"Obama said.
Of course Obama's idea of "sensible, responsible legislation" includes an outright ban of the most popular centerfire rifles in the country, mandating the inclusion of "smart gun" technology (just don't even get me started) in semi-automatic handguns, banning private sales of guns, etc. Beyond that, though, every new restrictive gun law enacted becomes the beachhead from which the next infringement on that which shall not be infringed is launched--the proverbial "slippery slope" in action.


Gerald Ensley
For some gun ban zealots, though, the slippery slope simply cannot be counted upon to act quickly enough--they want their gun bans now. Gerald Ensley, writing for the Tallahassee Democrat, is just such a zealot, as he makes clear in his "Stop the insanity: Ban guns":

I'm not talking about gun control. I'm not talking about waiting periods and background checks.

I'm talking about flat-out banning the possession of handguns and
assault rifles by individual citizens. I'm talking about repealing or
amending the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Ignorance on Parade

From Californistan, where else?




















Unfortunately, that's about par for the course when the anti-Constitution leftists talk about those eeeeeeeeeeeeevil guns.

Because making up lies about them is all they can do, being so ignorant of the truth.

Don't Let the Lights Go Out

The prosecution of seismologists in Italy for not "adequately" predicting an earthquake (which, of course, is impossible) has prompted some to warn of a new Dark Ages descending. But they're not the only ones.


In this country, so far, it's more a case of "your opinion isn't politically correct, so therefore you're stupid" than "you're wrong because of the evidence". For example: despite rock-solid evidence that there has been NO global warming for 16 years, the alarmists continue to decry both mankind and its use of fossil fuels as the cause of the ongoing crisis. You know, the one that doesn't exist.

Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade, and keep right on pointing to the evidence ... whether or not it fits their agenda.
