Liberals, liberal politicians, liberal media and liberal talking heads would like you to believe that a “gun culture” in our country is responsible for gun violence and that, if guns were outlawed, that source of violence would simply disappear.
This is, perhaps, one of the most idiotic beliefs in a boat load of idiotic beliefs held by liberals.
“If guns weren’t sold, gun violence would not be a problem” is what they want you to believe. The GOVERNMENT…Banning guns is their solution to the problem.
At the same time, liberals will go to great lengths to tell you that our prisons are overcrowded because we keep putting drug users, who pose no “real” threat to society, behind bars and we must let them out.
The last time I checked, one cannot buy meth or cocaine, or any number of illegal or, “banned” narcotics in stores .
The drugs being used that send their users to prison have been banned and yet, the users still get them just as those bent on using guns for violence would get then should THEY be banned but liberal logic can’t be bothered with facts or common sense.
Liberals will tell you that should abortions be banned, people will simply get them from unreliable sources in back alleys.
Where, exactly, do they think people will get guns should guns be banned?
Chicago has the strictest gun bans in the nation and their gun murder rate is the HIGHEST in the nation but, liberals will tell you that one city doesn’t mean squat in the grand scheme of things.
I give you…
Australia.
In Australia, 17 years ago, nationwide gun restrictions went into effect and along with gun confiscations, LEGAL gun owners were required to register and sign license agreements.
Australian law enforcement then knew where every, single LEGALLY owned gun in their country was located but, they had NO IDEA where all the ILLEGAL guns were.
Last year, in Australia, there were more than 3000 gun related crimes and more than 9000 guns were confiscated but, the number of crimes, committed with guns, STILL is NOT going down.
Australia, as an entire nation, is fairing no better than Chicago, as a singular city and BOTH have the STRICTEST gun laws on the books.
According to one Australian Police Commissioner, “There is no single source of gun violence… guns have fallen into the hands of organized crime, outlaw motorcycle gangs, mid-level crime groups and petty thieves and the lines are often blurred.”
The law ABIDING in Australia, just like the law ABIDING in Chicago, are NOT responsible FOR the violence and, NEITHER are able to protect themselves FROM it.
Here is some more liberal logic for you.
Liberals, it seems, have a litmus test for shootings.
Mass shooting as in a school, theater or political event…Demand gun laws, confiscations and all out gun bans.
Black on black shootings…Say nothing, ignore and don’t draw any attention to them.
Black on white shootings…See black on black shootings.
White on black shootings…Claim racism, demand national investigations and national conversations because, surely, hate and racism are at the root of it.
Ask Jesse Jackson.
Of the Treyvon Martin case, before ANY evidence was presented at all, Jackson was demanding “NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE” and “We need a national investigation of the racial context that led to Trayvon Martin’s slaying!!”
The FACTS, when presented, showed NO racial basis for the shooting of Treyvon Martin but, according to Jackson, it wasn’t a “GUN culture” responsible for the death of Martin…It was RACE.
Last week, 6 days after the murder of Chris Lane, a white guy from Australia at the hands of 3 punks…1 white and 2 black…because…”THEY WERE BORED and DECIDED TO KILL SOMEONE”…Jackson fired off a TWEET stating, “This senseless violence is frowned upon and the justice system must prevail,” even though one of those punks had several anti-white posts on Twitter and Facebook.
It’s STILL not a “GUN CULTURE” to Jackson. Why? Because 2 of the accused are…BLACK and the victim is WHITE and the “SYSTEM” which Jackson says must prevail is the SAME system which DID prevail in the Zimmerman case.
Last week, David Santucci, a 27 year old white guy was walking to his car in Memphis when 3 BLACK punks shot him dead. The “official” line is that it was a robbery gone wrong BUT, Santucci’s wallet, keys and his cell phone were still on him when his body was discovered by the police.
Outrage from the liberals? Talk of a “GUN CULTURE???”
None.
Last March, in the heat of the upcoming George Zimmerman court case, 2 black teens in Georgia, shot a 13 month old WHITE baby between the eyes in front of his horrified mother who had already been shot in the leg.
Then, after a court hearing, Mayor pro tem James H. Brooks was ARRESTED when HE interfered between police and their investigation of one of the boys accused in the murder.
It seems the “mayor” didn’t want police getting too close to the truth regarding the accused to whom, he said, he was related.
Any demands for a national investigation by liberals?
Any calls for more gun laws or banning guns?
None.
Barack Hussein Obama told the world that, “If I had a son, he’d look like Treyvon,” and doubled down on it AFTER the acquittal of George Zimmerman and after NO racial bias could be found relating TO George Zimmerman.
Newtown?
Aurora?
Tucson?
ALL of those last 3 drew the ire of liberals and the liberal media and the immediate call for banning guns, restricting ammo and magazines and more gun control laws while those already on the books are not being enforced.
After Newtown, when Obama couldn’t get bans passed through congress, HE signed 23 EXECUTIVE ORDERS to make an end run AROUND congress.
Following that liberal logic and considering the fact that Treyvon Martin was a punk….A wanna be gang member…A drug user and a thief…
It must also follow that if Obama had MORE children…THEY would look like the murderous punks that shot and killed Chris Lane, David Santucci and that innocent 13 month old in Georgia.
Furthermore, Obama’s extended family of children would look like those who commit the 93% of black on black murders in this country.
But one doesn’t see or hear Barack Hussein Obama vicariously adopting THOSE punks, does one?
One doesn’t hear or see Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or the NAACP demanding justice or federal investigations or national conversations into THOSE cases either.
Nor does one see or hear liberals, the liberal media, liberal lawmakers or liberal talking heads demanding gun control in the wake of those killings.
There is a reason for that.
Liberals don’t want to have to relate what they have been trying so hard to instill in the lexicon as a “GUN CULTURE” directly to groups that comprise a voting bloc they, themselves, have spent decades protecting.
Also, doing so would highlight the FACT that GUNS are not the issue and BAD PEOPLE, of varying skin colors, with BAD INTENTIONS and a lack of respect for human life ARE the issue.
The answer lies NOT in GOVERNMENT and laws making it harder or nearly impossible for LAW ABIDING citizens to protect their lives, liberties and property but, that IS the liberal mindset.
To a liberal, ONLY the government can solve a problem.
Simple facts and truth elude the liberal mind. Government can NOT legislate morality no matter how many laws they pass and a lack OF morality IS the problem.
Kids sans morals, from a young age, are taught that the world owes them something by adults without morals and they discover that taking what they want is easier than earning it regardless of the consequences.
Kids are taught that life is, at best, disposable by adults who believe abortion is a proper solution and having a baby is a punishment and wouldn’t recognize true values or morals if they were bitten by them.
There is no “gun culture” regardless of what liberals want you to believe and even in THEIR warped world, it ONLY exists in HIGH profile cases where WHITE people are HOLDING the gun.
The reality is, there is a “culture of violence” which has permeated lower income youth and has been cultivated in a petri dish of decaying moral standards and liberals simply don’t want to address the root cause of the problem.
Gun violence does not START with the gun.
It ENDS with it.

EXCELLENT! Hat-tip to you.
Excellent article, Mr. Andreson! I have copied this article to better remember all the great points that you brought out, which can NOT be refuted by anyone who thinks for themselves. We need more logical thinkers like yourself in this country, there simply are not enough, and that is part of the reason we are in such trouble.
Awesome, well written article! Thank you!
