OK, I know what you’re thinking – you’re obviously skeptical of a proposal like this coming from a Conservative who claims to respect the 2nd Amendment. Bear with me, though.
I could throw out stats like actual numbers trying to tie gun ownership to violent crime. I could trot out the CDC’s own study regarding the use of guns for crime versus self defense. How about the lies that the gun grabbers like to use? Or maybe the many areas where the government broke down prior to and during the Parkland shooting? Even the Santa Fe shooter, while not obvious at first, hit a few checkboxes.
We could look i another direction, such as a year in violence against Conservatives. How about a hate map showing these crimes? You know, like what the SPLC uses, only this one is real! Or maybe Salon calling on a hunt for Christians?
No, I want to keep this as simple as possible. We want to stop mass shootings, so let’s keep the scope of my proposal narrow. Let’s start by looking at not what instrument is used, but who is initiating the violence? First, we know that members of a particular religion have a tendency toward violence. In fact, we can further not that this particular religion is responsible for the vast majority of domestic terror. Next, we can look at a commonality among mass shooters. Read the last three links before you go any further. Do you see something that these groups have in common? Most of these people come from a particular religion and tend to vote for a particular party. So if we want to end mass shootings, the solution is simple:
All Democrats shall be forbidden from owning firearms of any kind.
Sure, this is going to sound like a bad idea, and I’ll acknowledge that it has many flaws. For example, what about the many Democrats who serve honorably in our armed forces and in law enforcement? Of course they would be allowed to carry weaponry while on duty, but only if supervised by a ranking Conservative. And said arms would have to be turned in at the end of any shift. Remember, this is for the children.
What about existing gun owners? “Try to take ’em from me!” is a popular Conservative refrain. Since we know that Leftists love to lead by example to avoid charges of hypocrisy, I expect 100% compliance. And if we don’t want to try forcibly taking guns from noncompliants, we could simply take away their right to vote until they do. Sure this is tough, but what about the kids?
And then there are the cases where kids take their parents’ guns to commit crimes. This is another tough one – Perhaps we could mandate that any gun owners whose kids are in public schools would be required to take extra measures to secure their weapons. If anyone wants an exemption their kids could take a test to ensure that they haven’t been indoctrinated by their teachers. Nothing too tricky, just simple common sense questions such as “How many genders are there?” or “Che Guevara – Hero or racist, anti-gay murderous thug?” You get the idea.
Of corse, there’s the simple counter argument “What about Conservatives? Do they not commit crimes too?” Of course Conservatives do! But where you don’t see our side is in the mass murder category. Remember, we’re not pretending that we can eliminate crime altogether here, just mass shootings!
Sure there are other issues this post doesn’t address, such as those pesky things like due process and the 2nd Amendment, but given how much disdain The Radical Left has for those why would they object?

There’s only one reason Salt Lake City wasn’t on that “hate map.”
We were in a venue where singers usually perform, so most of the public only knew of one main exit: back out the front.
However, the Antifa crowd (small but mean in Utah) was gathered out front.
The Trump secret service men decided to allow us all to exit with their team around us out the back, artists’ door.
It meant candidate Trump had to wait around a awful long time but none of us were attacked that night because of it.
As to your proposal….
There are two things that are tied into mass shooting perpetrators:
1. They might be of that religion you mentioned.
Or….
2. They have been males on mind-numbing drugs for their “toxic masculinity” since as early as kindergarten.
The recent shooter was on Ritalin.
Seems that drug does what teacher wants (neutering males in her classroom) right up to puberty then, watch out!
By then he might look like a soy boy, but it is imposed on him by drugs, not his own nature.
Puberty reminds him of what he should be wanting for himself IF he were still a hale and hearty red-blooded male.
But his body leads likely candidates for dates laughing at him.
Maybe we need to study this, long term problem of drugging boys.
@Nanny G: In an ideal world teh Secret Service would have diverted a few personnel and start making arrests. And the should have included local law enforcement if they refused to assist
@Brother Bob: Yeah, an ideal world.
Truth is Mormons rule in Utah and they are not nice to anyone who disagrees with them.
They put up even mcmullin (aka egg mcmuffin).
Egg mcmuffin lost by a huge amount during the primary (even with open cheating at the caucuses.)
Later egg mcmuffin was allowed to abscond with about $160,000 in campaign funds he owes to his workers.
No one even looks to arrest him or charge him altho he “hides” in plain sight.
The police are not 100% Mormon, but close enough.
They allowed Antifa to come right up to the entry door of our venue.
Going out the back, with Secret Service guarding us was a bit of an exciting treat.
Hasn’t the Party of Vagina Grabbers and the endorsers of pedophiles for the U.S. Senate been trying to take away voting rights for Democrats for years?
I believe the mindset of these shooters is the primary factor in cause and prevention, though it is admittedly hard to detect and prevent. In Pagourtzis’ case, what matters is what those symbols meant to HIM and he interpreted them.
I have suggested that a terrorist watch list, no fly list and no-buy list for guns is a great idea, but I would like to have input on who goes on it. For instance, ANYONE committing violence during a demonstration should go on all three. Any member of a mosque where jihad and violence is preached should be on the lists. Anyone that traffics violent reactions to political thought should go on the lists. They could then appeal their presence on those lists but have to prove they have recovered from their violent persuasions.
Certainly once the confiscations began, other liberals would be more than happy to inform on their fellow liberals who own dangerous death machines.
Nothing in the 2nd Amendment suggests any restrictions to ownership of any weapons whatsoever. We have voluntarily submitted to the violations of this right for the greater good of society. In the end, SOMEONE’s rights are violated. The left has expressed their total, full willingness to violate whatever rights there are in order to protect children. So, they should offer no resistance to liberals who own guns (who are probably pariahs anyway) having their rights violated.
Lets see some ANTIFA slug try to rob or beat someone in Kenashaw Georgia and end up with a bullet in their brains and laying dead in a mourgue with a tag on their big toe
BTW, it’s Come and Take ‘them’, molṑn labé.
I’m missing, well not really, the inane comments of our resident idiot Greg, I hope he’s ok. Ok I really don’t care but I’m trying to be a little bit nice.
I’d love to see exactly how many of the Marxists would turn in their firearms. We had a turn them in exercise in San Mateo CA a week or so again. Because I work hard to ignore anything happening in this area, blood pressure and all of that noise, They collected 426 guns and 16 assault weapons, I’m sure the assault weapons were something sprayed black and were scary. Hopefully all that turned them in were Democraps doing their civic duty. I feel so much safer already.
@Ajay42302: Democrats have been trying to take away the voting rights of Democrats?
Sure, if you count that they’re still rigging their primary elections
@Brother Bob: The Prime Liberal Benefactor just got marched off to jail. Imagine the red faces of all those liberals who accepted his DNA-stained contributions who never suspected he was a serial abuser!
@Deplorable Me: Or even worse, the ones who knew and chose to enable him
@Brother Bob: Well, I was being sarcastic. What Weinstein was doing was widely known. He had restaurants set up for his conquests who were aware to keep his table available when he left with his girl for when he came back. None of this goes without notice and, in my opinion, many of those coming out now knew what they were in for when they met him. Enablers like AJ happily look the other way as long as the perv has money he is handing out.
@Deplorable Me: I recognized the sarcasm hashtag =8^)
