More Guns Will Not Make Us Safer

"They were saying put your hands up, and the guys were still moving after they shot maybe 50, 60 times,” said neighbor Anthony Vandiver, who witnessed the shooting from his apartment. “The guy tried to put his hands up, and as soon as he put his hands up, it erupted again, and that was it for them. That guy tried his best to give up."

A homeless New Mexico man who was illegally camping in the Albuquerque foothills was fatally shot by police.

Unarmed And Dangerous

"From 2008 to 2012, officers shot 121 people, 52 of them fatally. Police say their lives or others were threatened in all those incidents, although more than a quarter of the civilians shot by the Houston Police Department during that time were unarmed. Of the unarmed people shot, 10 died. They include a mentally ill double amputee in a wheelchair and a Navy veteran diagnosed with schizophrenia."

My Comments About The Articles AboveGun supporters would have us believe we'd all be safer having more guns in the hands of the general public. Hell sometimes we're not even safe having this many in the hands of cops at this point. Here are a group of supposedly well trained professionals. They are not just trained in gun safety but (supposedly) also when and how to use them in all kinds of situations. If this is the kind of stuff happens already imagine what happens when a untrained individual gets involved!

I could go on and on listing many more unarmed shooting mistakes by police of unarmed individuals. Some cops can be already pretty quick on the trigger. Now imagine a cop gets a call for a armed situation. Two or more people have guns drawn when they get arrive. How are they suppose to know which is the good guy? If one thinks police were a little trigger happy in unarmed situations, you ain't seen nothing if a bunch of people are toting guns when they arrive on scene.

Take for example the Gabby Gifford shooting back in January 2011. NBC reported the armed hero nearly shot the wrong man.

In September 2012 "a police officer shot and killed a convenience store worker who plowed into him on a sidewalk while frantically fleeing an armed robbery "

There's no way more guns on the street will make us safer. The more out there the more dangerous it becomes no matter who's behind the trigger, whether it be a cop, criminal or gun toting citizen. At this point I'm not sure which to fear the most.

Now comes along these loons...
"Operation American Spring". They are hoping 10 million will show up for "as long as it takes to see Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Attorney General Holder removed from office."

They claim they will come peaceful and unarmed to Washington on Friday May16th, 2014 and stay as long as it takes. Anyone want to take a bet how many militia members will show up armed with guns?

The operation named "American Spring" ought to tell you right there what their intentions are. It says on that site, "my knees will not touch the surface as a result of some piss ant occupant of the White House or a corrupt legislator, or outside element...I will fall to my death standing if necessary."

'Tea Party Nation' posted this gem, "Finally and very importantly, if all of these peaceful remedies fail to achieve our constitutional goals, then ALL other remedies sanctioned by our Founders and "natural law" must necessarily be relied upon by the American people."

This just gives me one more reason why I can't see guns making us any safer. Especially when they fall in the hands of clowns like these.

No one (not anyone) wants to see an 'American Spring' uprising like the revolutionary uprisings that came with the likes of 'Arab Spring' protestors. Well, except for maybe these militia assholes. Hopefully it's a lot of bluster. Nothing will come of it and this will be a bust.



There could be no one who could provide a greater reason for gun control legislation and supporters for it then these bozos. If they create a problem Friday down in our nation's capital they only have their own selves to blame for it.
