Congressman Says Americans Need Guns to Protect the Nation from Sharia Law

February 22nd, 2013

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

I agree wholeheartedly with “Dr Pepe”. I also know many, many, people (myself included) who legally own firearms, and are not the least bit interested in demonizing brown-skinned people.

But…while Congressman Gohmert is pretty clearly displaying himself as a right-wing clod, in expressing wariness of new and very sketchy gun legislation, he is inadvertently proving the old saying “Even a broken clock is right twice a day”.

I am very supportive of upholding the United States Constitution, and Bill of Rights…2nd Amendment included.
And I am very concerned that some valid points are not being considering in the discussion, as they appear to be actively excluded for the public discourse.
I therefore beg everyone to consider:

#1) Making something illegal DOES NOT equal make that something unavailable.
Period.
I am always amazed by how many people don’t seem to get this.
If you are one of them, I must ask you to please, go take a long hard look at this country’s spectacularly failed “War on Drugs”, and then reconsider.
In my humble opinion, sewing the seeds of a huge black market in illegal weapons is a really (deleted expletive) bad idea.

#2) Punishing tens of millions of law-abiding firearms owners for the criminal misbehavior of a very few Crazies is tremendously BAD PUBLIC POLICY.
In the wake of September 11th, 2001, this is exactly what we permitted our government to do.
And that is the reason that we all must now must all submit ourselves to a kind of ridiculous “Theater of Security” every time we go to the airport and try to board an airplane. Our 4th Amendment Constitutional “Protections” against “unreasonable search and seizure” apparently be damned.
(not those rich & powerful enough to charter private jets, mind you)
Far worse, most security experts (the ones without a financial stake in the resulting farce of Big-Business-Security, anyway) will tell you that none of it makes us any safer than we were when we could just go buy a ticket and get on a plane.
We head down a starkly similar road if we relinquish of freedom to protect ourselves.

And that segues me into #3)
This idea that they are trying to sell us, that we are going to be safer after the Government has seriously impeded our ability to legally defend ourselves….I’m sorry, but that’s just flawed logic—bordering on actual incoherence.

Einstein once said “Most of the problems that we face today, started out as the solution to some other problem”.

We are all shocked and outraged that some Lunatic has spattered us with the blood of children. This should not launch us into emotionally charged knee-jerk foolishness.
