Why Gun Control Does Not Work: 2 Prime Examples In Seattle

Why Gun Control Does Not Work: 2 Prime Examples In Seattle - 6

Dave Workman illustrates vividly the intellectual bankruptcy of gun control in his Oct. 21 blog on examiner.com

" Meet James Chung Hwang, a 24-year-old model citizen who has managed to rack up a dozen convictions for driving with a suspended license, one guilty plea for third-degree assault, several domestic violence convictions according to the on-line Seattle Post-Intelligencer, plus drug possession and malicious mischief beefs," he writes. "Mr. Hwang is a walking testament to the failure of gun control because he is back in jail again for an incident that occurred a week ago. He allegedly was involved in a road rage incident in south Seattle that involved (gasp!) a stolen handgun, according to court documents.

"How the .45-caliber Springfield Armory semi-auto got into Hwang’s apparent posession (the gun was recovered 'within lunging distance' from his stopped vehicle, according to a police report) is open to conjecture, but it’s a pretty safe bet that this handgun, which was reported stolen in Tacoma four years ago, was not obtained at a gun show, nor did the suspect stroll into a gun shop and buy it after passing a background check, nor did he get it through a straw purchase from any retailer now being sued by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg ..."

Realistic and sane arguments do not work on libs. They either have a "pie in the sky," we can make the world better by holding hands and singing Kum Ba Yah, if we just get our way. Worked so well in the Eastern Bloc nations post World War II.

Einstein said insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. So we know that he was a pretty smart dude. People who keep trying to set up gun control, by definition are insane.
These people believe that they can enact laws and the "bad people" will somehow start obeying them just because the libs "CARE". This is not based in any kind of reality. When your ideas and your life style are not based in reality, you are insane.

Psychosis is defined as; "a loss of contact with reality, usually including false ideas about what is taking place or who one is (delusions) and seeing or hearing things that aren't there (hallucinations)."

Need I say more. We have the inmates trying to run the institution, and they are running it into the ground.

The Hwang case shows not only a failure of ill conceived gun control laws, but also a failure of the criminal justice system. For this DD (dimwit dirtbag) to rack up so many convictions by age 24 & not be locked up is outrageous.
The Haq case demonstrates why law abiding citizens should carry. If the victims were armed, this DD might have got one or two (or maybe none) before the rest stopped him.

Just look at the failed legislation in Canada from a Leftard government. Makes criminals out of law abiding citizens but the gangbangers get all the breaks. And braindead politicians are still insisting zero gun possession is the solution to fix the problem. We need to replace all the idiot politicians plain and simple.

The George Washington Tyrant Removal method is still available for use/loan. There is coming a time when petitioning these Communists will be found to have lost its usefulness. Then the choice becomes give up or fight for your Liberty and Freedom. The Western Canadians that I've met wouldn't give up their Liberty (I've heard of a secession movement). How about you, personally?

Gun control doesn't work, but the Lib's know that. They ignore the facts and keep pushing the agenda, not so we're defenseless against thugs like Hwang but so we're defenseless against thugs in DC pushing more unconstitutional laws.
