Who Nurtures the Irrational Belief
that Law-Abiding Citizens Protecting their Families Increase Crime?
Why do Socialists insist on gun control and, eventually, gun bans? The National Socialist Workers party (Nazi party) under Adolf Hitler imposed a gun ban, confiscated all registered guns, and then slaughtered the unarmed Jews as well as gays, Roma (Gypsies), and the physically and mentally disabled.
Nazi is the well-known abbreviation for the NAtional soZIalistische deutsche arbeiter partei - which literally translates as the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Committed Socialists misleadingly use the initials NSDAP rather than Nazi to muddy the fundamental connection between Nazi and Socialism (all
). But ideologically rigid Socialism with its copycat Nazi social policies, government jobs, brownshirt violence, government control of education (think Common Core), and "sensible" gun-control ideology has little appeal for more thoughtful workers and aware citizens...
Socialists such as Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) and ex-President Obama try to deny that their end goal is a complete gun ban but her words recorded on CBS in 1995 give the lie to their denials:

“If I could've gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them -- Mr. and Mrs. America turn 'em all in -- I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here.”
1. Do gun bans decrease or increase violent crime?
The main-stream media print emotional reports pretending that shooting sprees in gun-free zones prove that gun bans decrease crime! But this is simply not true, real proof needs real evidence - not just tear-jerking stories - and there's none. The evidence overwhelmingly proves both that gun bans increase the slaughter (all
) as well as easier access to guns decreases crime.Since there's so much anti-gun propaganda which contradicts simple common sense, do you wonder about media bias? See here, here, here, here, here, and here. In fact, Obama attempted to destroy the Second Amendment by paying for bogus law review articles to be written and published. Other gun control lies by vox.com are debunked here. "Gun control advocates lie all the time," reports Gun Control Lies.
There's a 2 minute audio explanation of how Discouraging your Criminals reduces your violent crime here (or this mp3 link
, or the wma link ).2. No massacres before the Gun Free School Zone Act
Although there were no - ZERO - school massacres before it was passed in 1990, Republican President Bush still signed Democrat Joe Biden's Gun Free School Zone Act. Yet gun-control advocates ignore the inconvenient truth that ensuring schools, movie theaters and churches are free of responsibly-held guns simply makes them massacre zones which attract mentally disturbed killers.
The 1999 Columbine High School massacre was exploited by Colorado Democrats to drop a pending gun bill making it easier for responsible citizens to concealed carry. Dale Anema, father of one of the kids who survived the tragedy, movingly challenged their political decision:

“If two crazy hoodlums can walk into a 'gun-free' zone, and police are incapable of defending the children, why would anyone want to make it HARDER for law-abiding adults to defend themselves and others?”
3. Gun control can get you murdered!
California's gun control laws murdered two children, seven-year-old John and nine-year-old Ashley Danielle (all .) Fourteen-year-old Jessica Carpenter needed a gun to defend them but it was "safely stored" away under California Safe Storage laws. When the police arrived, they shot 27-year-old Jonathon Bruce dead...
Similar gun laws also killed both of Dr. Susanna Gratia Hupp's parents. At that time, the law prohibited her from having her gun in Luby’s Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas. Twenty people were slaughtered and many more injured in this mass shooting.

Dictators, kings and oppressive governments all want their subjects unarmed. The German Reich enforced gun registration, which subsequently enabled National Socialist (Nazi) Dictator Adolf Hitler to easily confiscate Jewish guns leaving them defenseless. In the 20th century, gun control has actually murdered millions - MILLIONS - of innocent people.
But even honest liberals now admit that criminals are more afraid of armed homeowners than the police. So who nurtures the fiction that more guns in law-abiding hands cause more crime?
4. Honest people Change Their Mind
Honest people readily change their mind. Dr. James D. Wright is the Massachusetts criminologist whose survey of imprisoned felons for the US Justice department caused a dramatic change in his views (all ) - he'd previously attacked both gun ownership and the NRA.
) - he'd previously attacked both gun ownership and the NRA.
"I was wrong, I'm going to get a permit and so is my wife. I've changed my mind. You need a way to protect yourself and your family. If more people were packing guns, it might serve as a deterrent."
Yet gullible people assume that because they obey gun controls laws, criminals also obey gun control laws and therefore such laws protect the innocent. Their minds refuse to accept that their thinking might be wrong - despite the overwhelming and compelling evidence that gun control can get you murdered.
After a brutal home invasion and sexual assault, committed anti-gunners James Dittrich and Meredith Duffy woke up, realized the immense value of defensive guns and are now "proud gun owners."
Devout Democrat Justin Cronin's anti-gun beliefs were challenged when fleeing Hurricane Rita in a SUV with his wife and two tiny children. He had "not so much as a heavy book to throw" to defend his loved ones - which eliminated his lifelong aversion to owning a gun.
The university professor, a trained researcher who used to think gun control was common sense now rejects gun control in his profound review of Dr. John Lotts' study proving that More Guns Less Crime.

5. Who Nurtures the Fiction that Law-abiding Guns Cause Crime?
Why are some people unmoved by facts and reason? (all .) Philosopher James Garvey believes public relations are to blame. Many opinions are shaped not by reason and logic but are distorted by your in-group allegiances and a host of cognitive biases such as confirmation bias, availability bias, optimism bias, etc...
.) Philosopher James Garvey believes public relations are to blame. Many opinions are shaped not by reason and logic but are distorted by your in-group allegiances and a host of cognitive biases such as confirmation bias, availability bias, optimism bias, etc...If it were true that fewer guns in law-abiding hands cause less crime, then America should disarm the police as well as all armed guards - it would cause less crime! Democrats as well as dictators use such irrational nonsense to justify disarming their citizens. But who wants you to believe this untruth?
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”
- Adolf Hitler, Nazi (from NAtional soZIalistische deutsche arbeiter partei, the National Socialist German Workers Party) Dictator, started World War II, slaughtered millions in the Holocaust.
- RACISTS who believe that blacks should not have the right to own guns. See the infamous 1856 US Supreme Court ruling on the Dred Scott vs. Sandford case.
- LEADERS with a HIDDEN AGENDA deceive their followers. When someone gets emotional trying to defend such a belief, it's because they can't defend it rationally, they haven't thought it through...
- Others ignore INDIRECT CONSEQUENCES, says Bastiat. They see only the direct consequences: gun controls mean fewer guns. They don't realize that criminals don't obey the law, so fewer guns in law-abiding hands means more unarmed prey for violent criminals.
- Some people believe there's SAFETY IN NUMBERS. They want you to believe it simply because they do. They believe the common fallacy which holds that if some people - important people - say something, then it must be true. But which of those many different opinions do you believe?
- The EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM which far too often indoctrinates by teaching what to think, rather than how to think.
- CAREER POLITICIANS who put their political advancement far ahead of their voters' safety.
- Many people are just GULLIBLE, they automatically believe misinformation from familiar people - as well as their own uninvestigated thoughts.
- Others are so SURE THEY'RE RIGHT that their mind is closed to the compelling evidence proving that more guns in responsible hands reduces crime. Last but not least,
- CRIMINALS and those who benefit from crime do NOT want their prey - YOU - armed...
Beware, many politicians and people ignore the truth and tell you outright lies. President Bush raised taxes after saying "Read my lips, no new taxes” and President Obama promised ”if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan.” They rely on the dubious accuracy of ObamaCare's Professor Gruber who famously said "the American people are too stupid to understand the difference."
Food for Thought
"Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there. You have a duty to protect yourself and your family.”
– Sheriff David Clarke, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

“The liberties of the American people were dependent upon the ballot-box, the jury-box, and the cartridge-box [firearms], without these no class of people could live and flourish in this country."
– Frederick Douglass (1818-1895)
Former slave, African-American social reformer, diplomat, leader of the abolitionist movement, known for his dazzling oratory and incisive antislavery writings. Strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment and your right to defend yourself and your family with a firearm.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Douglass
Concealed carry is entirely optional, so discourage violent criminals and terrorists from attacking your people. Encourage your qualified, law-abiding citizens to be able to defend themselves, their family and their property.
Despite media misunderstanding and misrepresentation, Discouraging Criminals by encouraging teachers and staff to be armed is neither mandatory nor compulsory gun ownership. It's your choice whether or not you want your children defended from a mentally disturbed school shooter.
