Taking everybody's guns does not curb violence after all

“disenfranchised youths” I would call it hoodlums.

"At least six people were stabbed in London, adding to the wave of recent knife attacks across the capital.


On Thursday, Metropolitan Police said two 15-year-olds were badly injured in East London and are hospitalized in serious, but stable condition.


Reports point to a total of five separate stabbings sweeping across South London, East End as well as the West End in just a single day."

If taking away guns makes people safer, then propose taking guns from certain groups of people.  Take guns away from ethnic groups only, for example.  Would that make members of that group safer?  Oh, no.  Then they'd be at the mercy of those who wish to do them harm.  Really?  Well, that's the point.

“I am convinced that we can do to guns what we've done to drugs: create a multi-billion dollar underground

market over which we have absolutely no control.” George L. Roman

 

“Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.”   Joseph Stalin

 

To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm... is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege.

"“My interpretation of the Second Amendment,” he explained, “it is an individual right, not a corporate right, no related to a militia, you have an individual right to own a weapon both for recreation–for hunting– and also for your self-protection........”   Joe Biden

"Nothing we're gonna do is going to fundamentally alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting or guarantee that [our gun ban legislation] will bring gun deaths down..." - VPOTUS Joe Biden

Unfortunately, a recent Federal court ruling says that carbines of the type generally used by military forces, even in semiautomatic form, are not protected by the Second Amendment.  Seriously?  Is this judge insane?  Does he know history?  Does he know the purpose of the Bill of Rights, as undergirded by the Second Amendment?

That's true.  It was true for every Fa-Left Socialist authoritarian throughout history.  Mao.  Stalin.  Hitler.  Mussolini.  Pol Pot.  Kim.  Ho.  Disarm the populace, then control the populace.
