The Left’s Phony War on Guns

Col Joseph Lenertz
You get out of here with your statistics and the facts to back them up! Don't you know we're in the middle of a smear campaign with a little Shock and Awe thrown in for good measure??? What are you, a right wing gun-clinging pro-Second Amendment lunatic?

Complete sarcasm by the way Sir. Great article, thanks for sharing. Though the hard line anti-Second Amendment types won't be swayed I fear.

Col Joseph Lenertz this paragraph was especially telling: "The cultural role of the NRA is to be the fat white face that absorbs the Left’s hatred for the hunting, shooting, and gun-collecting demographics. This has nothing to do with the NRA’s opposition to some kinds of gun control, a fact that can be readily appreciated by looking at the sort of thing gun-rights advocates generally do support in the way of gun control, which progressives either ignore or actively oppose. Consider the history of “Project Exile,” an experimental program in which Virginia firearms offenders were shifted to federal court and prosecuted under the Gun Control Act of 1968, meaning a minimum of five years in the federal penitentiary for those convicted. Who was in support of using the Gun Control Act to control gun crime? The NRA, for one. Who opposed it? The Congressional Black Caucus, civil-liberties groups, Families Against Mandatory Minimums, etc. If you can figure out why that is, then you’ll know why our gun-control debate is mainly about punishing the law-abiding and ignoring violent criminals."
And that judges in Chicago/Illinois historically hands down minimal sentences for gun possession makes sense in this race-driven narrative. Thanks for sharing.
