Hey, anti-gunners, 'Bush's Brain' agrees with you!

Children and beauty pageant contestants are commonly indulged in a little magical thinking. Everybody else needs to own the implications of the policies he advocates.

If you love to eat omelettes, but hate the idea of breaking eggs, you really need to go somewhere and reconcile your clashing premises. Come back when you have something coherent to say.

Governments do not issue hints or suggestions. Every law, edict, regulation, and executive order is ultimately backed by the threat of lethal force. Otherwise nobody would pay much attention to them.

If you favor a tightly regulated, centrally controlled economy, with rules and regulations covering most aspects of human behavior – which is what "leftist" means nowadays – then you favor a large and powerful police force. Who else is going to enforce all those rules and regulations? The unicorns? To be a leftist is to advocate a police state; there is no other way to control the economy.

And those who call for the mass confiscation of privately held firearms are calling for a police state that would make all previous police states look like the Girl Scouts.

The US won't ban guns and yet they ban things like Kinder's Surprise eggs because they think OMG like our little children might swallow the toys inside them. They ban children watching superhero movies, playing baseball, or holding hands at schools. Why is banning guns such a big deal when they've banned so many other things for the most stupid reasons?

It's your African-American population that makes it so high.

They have 17 murders per 100,000 people compared to around 2 per 100,000 for "white" Americans. So, it ends up around 6 per 100,000 overall (ethnic ratios are why it's not split evenly there; African-Americans make up 14% or so of the population).

The African-Americans need real help in the way of effective social programs (and the removal of gang "culture").

Look at Switzerland with its homogenous society, tons of military gunz, and its less than 1 per 100,000 murder rate; Japan is less than 1 too (why they probably don't have as many policing incidents?).

All you have to do is look up the number of deaths due to gun use in America. If you aren't appalled by it, well, ,I think that says something about you.
