The Fallacy of Gun Control

The anti-gun fools tell us their machinations are designed to "stem gun violence," but they're not. They'll deny it to their dying day, but gun control, as we know it, only serves as "occupational safety laws for armed criminals." The THOUSANDS of times people have STOPPED armed criminals dead in their tracks without firing a shot, prove this contention, but the anti-gun fools will not admit it. And those thousands of incidents somehow never get reported in the liberal media because they do not advance their wish to disarm all (honest) Americans while doing NOTHING to disarm criminals, who don't obey ANY laws. If armed criminals could not be pretty sure their intended victims were not armed, they might find another crime than "gun crime" for their careers. There has never been a successful "mass shooting" at an NRA rally or a gun show for obvious reasons. Moreover, what usually puts a stop to mass shootings? The arrival of MEN WITH GUNS! Yes, we're talking about cops. But they can't be everywhere, so it usually takes some minutes for them to arrive, and in those few minutes, a mass shooter can kill many people, as we've seen. One person with a gun and the knowledge of how to use it can make all the difference. They can't deny that, but they do, irrationally. (Thomas Sowell)
