Gun control advocates always say that the cause of gun crime is guns. If we didn’t have as many guns on the streets, the streets would be safer.
Oh, except now when we need 10,000 more assault rifles on the streets to make them safer. Somehow that makes us safer than trained private citizens with .38 revolvers.
This just shows that liberals aren’t afraid of guns on the street (since police and criminals can carry them with impunity). They are afraid of independent, self-reliant citizens who might question their pet theories. They would rather we all be 100% dependent on the government for such basic need as safety. For some reason, a person with an assault rifle is good if he has a badge, but a person with a handgun is bad if he doesn’t have a badge. The only difference? Not training. Not morals. Not intelligence. Simply one is part of the all-benevolent government and the other is not. Government is double-plus-good. Private citizens are double-plus-ungood. It’s as simple as that.
