THOMAS SOWELL: 'GUNS SAVE LIVES'.

Merely looking at the faces of Jared Loughner, James Holmes and Adam Lanza, it's clear that already prior to their acts of terror they belonged in a High Security Funny Farm. As anyone with an objective mind and who has spent a minimum of time on basic research knows, guns, or rather the free possession of guns in the US, was not the problem with the murders committed by these loons. The mere fact that people of the calibre of Loughner and Lanza would have found guns and assault weapons ANYWAY, even in a country with strict gun control laws, is such a glaring truth that it is difficult to believe people can believe otherwise. No. It seems to me the mental health of these individuals was the problem. And it also seems to me that there is an undeniable correlation between mental health and being brought up in a dysfunctional family.

We all know one of the main reasons for dysfunctional families: the war that's being waged on traditional families, in its fifth decade now, by the Left.

Leftists have a habit of creating havoc in a society. Afterwards they will always propose bad solutions for problems of which they were the cause.


Thomas Sowell has a very astute angle on the gun control debate, albeit not from the mental health angle. But it is very much worth a careful read. From Townhall, April 2, 2013, 'Guns save lives':



"We all know that guns can cost lives because the media repeat this message endlessly, as if we could not figure it out for ourselves. But even someone who reads newspapers regularly and watches numerous television newscasts may never learn that guns also save lives-- much less see any hard facts comparing how many lives are lost and how many are saved.

But that trade-off is the real issue, not the Second Amendment or the National Rifle Association, which so many in the media obsess about. If guns cost more lives than they save, we can always repeal the Second Amendment. But if guns save more lives than they cost, we need to know that, instead of spending time demonizing the National Rifle Association.

The defensive use of guns is usually either not discussed at all in the media or else is depicted as if it means bullets flying in all directions, like the gunfight at the OK Corral. But most defensive uses of guns do not involve actually pulling the trigger.

If someone comes at you with a knife and you point a gun at him, he is very unlikely to keep coming, and far more likely to head in the other direction, perhaps in some haste, if he has a brain in his head. Only if he is an idiot are you likely to have to pull the trigger. And if he is an idiot with a knife coming after you, you had better have a trigger to pull.

Surveys of American gun owners have found that 4 to 6 percent reported using a gun in self-defense within the previous five years. That is not a very high percentage but, in a country with 300 million people, that works out to hundreds of thousands of defensive uses of guns per year.

Yet we almost never hear about these hundreds of thousands of defensive uses of guns from the media, which will report the killing of a dozen people endlessly around the clock.

The murder of a dozen innocent people is unquestionably a human tragedy. But that is no excuse for reacting blindly by preventing hundreds of thousands of other people from defending themselves against meeting the same fate.

....

More children may die in bathtub accidents than in shooting accidents, but you are not likely to read that in most newspapers or see it on television newscasts. Some in the media inflate the number of children killed by counting as children the members of criminal teenage gangs who shoot each other in their turf fights.

Many seize upon statistics which show that Britain has stronger gun control laws than the United States and lower murder rates. Yet they ignore other countries with stronger gun control laws than the United States, but which have much higher murder rates, such as Brazil, Russia and Mexico.

Even in the case of Britain, London had a much lower murder rate than New York during the years after New York State's 1911 Sullivan Law imposed very strict gun control, while anyone could buy a shotgun in London with no questions asked in the 1950s.

Today, virtually the entire law-abiding population of Britain is disarmed-- and gun crimes are vastly more common. Gun control laws make crime a safer occupation when victims are unarmed..."



Well said, or rather written. Too bad these wise words will, as usual, get lost in the wind forever for five hundred million Europeans who are deliberately kept dumb by their moral betters and their mercenaries the whorenalists.

To finish, Americans should TAKE NOTICE of the names of these traitors:
