Tonight I re-viewed Michael Z. Williamson's:
"It's amazing what one has to believe to believe in gun control"
As usual, I enjoyed his caustic wit. I must have read this a dozen times over the years. While some of the issues have changed slightly .. every item is a dead-on (excuse the Politically Incorrect verbiage), scathingly accurate analysis of the Progressive "cognitive dysfunction" demonstrated on a daily basis.
That manufacturers are not responsible for damages caused by their products, unless that product is a gun.If you think he's caustic here, you should read some of his books.
That trigger locks and other devices make guns safer, which is why the police and military refuse to use them.
That registration of guns will help law enforcement, because that way they won't need probable cause and a warrant to conduct a search.
That registration of guns, which makes their existence a matter of public knowledge under the FOIA, isn't dangerous to owners.
That registration of guns, in violation of the McClure-Volkmer Act, and as declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, is somehow still legal.
That private citizens making private sales of private property is a "loophole."
That the existence of weapons not banned by previous laws is a "loophole." That making it harder to get a license to sell firearms legally will reduce the number of people selling illegally.
That it's safer to do nothing than resist with a gun, which is why the military wins so many wars by not fighting.
That we must close shooting ranges because of the noise, but ban silencers because they are quiet.
That owning a gun for self-defense indicates an intent to kill, just like owning a first aid kit indicates an intent to impersonate a physician.
That guns are an "epidemic" even though we can't treat them with penicillin.
That there's no right to own military weapons, which is why the Civilian Marksmanship Program at http://www.odcmp.com exists to sell military weapons to civilians under Congressional authority.
That suggesting teachers be armed is an outrageous suggestion for a "civilized" society, which is why the Swiss and Israelis do it.
That making it harder and harder for even cops to have guns on school property will somehow make it harder for lunatics to kill the utterly helpless students.
NOTE that he has also co-authored with John Ringo and Tom Kratman.
You can get them all from Amazon, or you can borrow them from me.
Hmmm ... not. Go to Amazon. My books are MINE!

Love the man.
He is wrong. They don't believe those things. They FEEL them, deep down inside on a purely emotional level. They know that guns are evil, gun owners are bad and muderious, and all guns not in the hands of the government should be destroyed and forever banned.
