Gun Control Advocates: A Declining Species

New Trajectory: Results From My Quick Poll

Demonstrating that there is no spin away from the truth that anti-gun people are incapable of, the above anti-gun blogger put a poll up, 98% (currently) of respondents disagree with the blogger's ideology, and he spins the results away with, of course, negative rhetoric toward gun owners.

The more straightforward conclusions are that pro-rights folks have access to the internet, are motivated to participate in polls in defense of their views, and come out in numbers to do so.

Why can't the same be said for gun control advocates?

Well, surely there's no disparity in internet access and judging from their shrillness it can't be said that they're not motivated (however wrongly it may be).  Obviously, it's their numbers.  Judging from the poll results, looks like you could fit 'em all under two or three large golf umbrellas.

That's the obvious conclusion from this anti-gunner's exercise.

Response to Common Gunsense's "Moving over guns"

Common Gunsense A blog to advocate for sensible gun legislation: Moving over guns: "Since I am out of my home state on a short trip, I've been thinking about differences between states. And, of course, with the massive snow ..."

Common Gunsense's main point:
"Those who think everyone should just up and move to a place where they like the gun laws better should move to South Dakota, where some legislators would like to pass a law to make it mandatory for everyone to own guns. . . . even the felons, adjudicated mentally ill, domestic abusers, drug users, etc. . . . There is a real lack of common sense in South Dakota."

Common Gunsense is another anti-gun blog that fears to freely publish critical comments. So here's my reply that, of course, wasn't allowed there:

The proposal in South Dakota would not allow prohibited people to possess guns. The only deficiency in common sense is in thinking folks won't see the obvious adherence to a disingenuous anti-gun agenda in claiming otherwise.

The First Right

The right to keep and bear arms is the first right.  Its existence and exercise is what protects all other rights that individuals have.  History demonstrates that wherever rights were denied, they were attained invariably through, first, the exercise of the right to keep and bear arms.  History also teaches the fact that the right to keep and bear arms is the first target for suppression by governments and individuals who fear their fellow citizens--either irrationally (hoplophobia), or rationally because their fellow citizens will oppose further planned oppression and tyranny.
