1. The Democrats want to take our guns.
We heard that for the eight years Obama was president, although the Obama administration never pushed any legislation to do that. True, there is no reason to allow automatic weapons to anyone other than military personnel and police, but neither Clinton, nor Obama, nor Democratic governors, pushed legislation to take away guns. So why does the N.R.A. push that? It is a great membership booster and fundraiser.
2. “More laws governing guns and shooters will have the same results as more laws governing cars and speeders. You will still have both, and there are more deaths attributed to vehicles crashes than guns.”
This was an actual letter to the Morning Call by a Jack Graul of South Whitehall Township. Laws against speeding do work. I would drive much faster if I weren’t afraid of losing my license. As for the second sentence in that letter, that is called a non sequitur.
3. If people don’t have guns, they will just use knives.
As someone who was attacked by a guy with a knife, I’m still here to post. Had the guy had a gun, I don’t think I would be here. Had the shooter at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School run amok with a knife, do you think he would have killed seventeen students?
4. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
This cliche doesn’t even deserve a comment, it is so stupid.
5. We need more guns, not fewer, so the good guys can shoot back.
Really. Our president has even advocated arming teachers. Mr. Bone Spur seems to know a lot more about weaponry than he did during the Vietnam War. This is one of those suggestions that sound tough and mean nothing.
