None of which would have made one whit of difference to the Sandy
shooting they claim as motivation. She had no record, no mental
history, nothing. Perfectly fine. It was the son who stole the
weapons, killed her, and went on a shooting spree.
Of course. It's nothing to do with concern for people, the goal is
disarming citizens progressively, by steps. The first step is to
document who's armed, by hook, or crook.
BGC is a pretext that does that. Commanding doctors to asks their
patients does that (it gets it into your electronic medical records,
into the Obamacare data collection system).
The demand for records and documentation is ironic. Obama willfully
lets in and refuses to check the papers of swarms of illegal alien
murderers, yet has no problem demanding citizens' registration,
papers, and documentation at every turn. [ICE deported 1,215 illegal
alien *convicted murderers* last year, after their crimes. That's
*many*-fold the tiny number lost to "scary"-looking rifles.]
The damn president won't stop lying, propagandizing, calculatedly
appealing to emotion--that prevents an honest, meaningful, realistic
discussion. Yesterday he spooled out a reel of incredible statistical
whoppers, completely and willfully misrepresenting every aspect of the
problem, while hiding behind children. (E.g., he claimed 1.4 million
transactions flagged by BGC as prevented transfers to "the wrong
people," not mentioning that the vast, vast majority of those flagged
are ultimately allowed to proceed after further checks.)
How can we the nation talk about things when he constantly spews
untruths, strawmen, and diversions?
The long-term solution to the much wider problem of crime is *jobs*,
allowing people to lift themselves out of poverty, ensuring a clear
path up, clearing obstacles. Not handouts. Hope, but real hope. Not
hype.
