Gun Control -- Bankrupt Then, Bankrupt Now, and Bankrupt Always

Rolling Stone's Amanda Marcotte: Poster Child for Gun Control's Intellectual Bankruptcy

The bankruptcy of the anti-Second Amendment side is underscored by a Rolling Stone article that claims, "No mass shootings in the past 30 years have been stopped by an armed civilian." The Rolling Stone journalist who wrote this piece either failed to check her facts or flat-out lied, which is standard operating procedure the anti-Second Amendment camp.

I think it is safe to say, though, that these examples have not only turned Rolling Stone's credibility into rubble, they have (to paraphrase Winston Churchill's observation about nuclear war) made the rubble bounce.

Gun Control in Boston

Boston is living proof of the absolute bankruptcy of the gun control camp's quack solution to firearm-related violence. Deep blue Massachusetts has exactly the kind of background checks, limitations on so-called "assault weapons," licensing for gun owners, and everything else that Michael Bloomberg, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Sestak want. One little piece of garbage, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was able to lock down the entire city of Boston with a couple of firearms along with pressure cooker bombs, at a cost of roughly a billion dollars. The message is clear: if you are willing to die for your cause, you can cause the United States ten figures in damage by playing guerrilla in a city like Boston or New York (Tsarnaev's next alleged target) with "sensible gun laws."

It's all about the narrative.

Gun are bad, especially, if owned by the populace.
