| Seven Questions Britain Has For America About Guns |
| 2015-10-15 |
| Hershel Smith answers questions about guns: Ema O’Connor has done a poor job of answering the questions, so I thought I would help her. Q: Every time there is a mass shooting, President Obama makes a passionate speech about the need for gun control. And yet it never happens. Why? Does he not have the power to drive through change? A: That’s easy. We aren’t subjects of the crown. That problem was handled more than 200 years ago by men who, not coincidentally, had guns. Q: Would you say the majority of Americans want stricter gun control laws? If so, how come it hasn’t happened yet? A: That’s easy. It’s a lie promulgated by the elitist media who want America to be like obedient insects living in a collectivist hive. The majority of Americans don’t really want more gun control. Q: How did the gun lobby become so powerful? A: We have guns. Q: Gun rights advocates: What is their explanation for why the U.S. has a much higher rate of gun deaths than comparable countries? Or do they just not talk about it? A: Gun violence is primarily a black-on-black issue. Were it not for many of the entitled, inner city blacks who have been taught through the fourth, fifth and sixth generations now to expect handouts and never take responsibility, you wouldn’t have even asked the question. This question is more properly posed to the elitist, collectivist, urban chattering class. Let them explain to you why they chose to create a class of inner city criminals. Q: What do gun rights advocates say the “well regulated” bit in “well regulated militia” means? A: Capable of shooting and engaging other field combat tactics well. Q: How easy is it to get a gun license in America? What’s the process? A: Not easy enough. Q: In a number of cases, the gunmen responsible for mass shootings have had criminal records and documented mental health problems, and yet they were able to purchase firearms legally. How does that happen? A: Mental health issues don’t predispose one to violence. You must mean how does an evil man obtain weapons. With money. Although not asked, why does an evil man obtain weapons? To perpetrate acts of evil, as it has been from Genesis 2 onward. I’m glad I could be of assistance. |

| #15 I live in Vermont. Were it not for three cities, this would be a deeply conservative state. But carpetbaggers gonna be carpetbaggers. Vermont has the best gun ownership and carry laws in the country. |

| #14 People figuring out ways to kill People is as old as People, even if the person is their self. Take away all the firearms in the world, and the suicidal will be lined up waiting to propose to a Kardashian. |

| #13 Also keep in mind that "gun deaths" also include suicides (61%) and death by cop (Numbers not kept by govt.). Even removing death by cop, gun violence statistics should be reduced by almost 2/3. Granted some suicides may not have taken place without the convenience of a gun, but I bet it's a statistically insignificant number. Who cares about facts though. Let's just keep the narrative going that America is a Wild West shootout where we are lucky to survive from day to day. |

| #9 Whoever answered the questions posed above about gun control is very poorly informed. First, Our 2nd Amendment to our Constitution needs to be read properly. There are two clauses in the 2nd Amendment. The first clause is a prefatory clause to introduce the reason behind the operative clause. The anti-gun liberals hate that comma between the two clauses. The "gun lobby" is funded to express the views of the people who own firearms civilly. The alternative is not desired by hundreds of millions of firearm owners. We do not have a higher rate of deaths than comparable countries. Overall the US is in 44th place as far as gun deaths. The 43 that have higher gun deaths than the US all have a total ban on firearms. If the black on black murders are removed from the US total firearms deaths in the US, we are one of the safest countries in the world. The way the question is put forth above states its own conclusion. Kind of like, "When will you mother get out of prison". I have never lived in a state that required a license to buy a firearm. The license requirement in itself would be an infringement of our rights. In actuality we or all able bodied citizens in the US are supposed to have what would be considered a "service rifle" and if called upon we should be ready to defend our country. Obama has changed the oath of Citizenship for Muslims so Muslims don't have to swear to defend the US.The name service rifle implies many things but primarily it refers to military grade (durable) weapons for which the US stocks ammunition and parts. This would allow the US to almost instantly field a massive Army of trained riflemen. This is why our military sells obsolete rifles to Americans. Further Americans have purchased military rifles from other countries. Did you ever wonder where the 18,000,000 German Mausers went? How about the 15,000,000 British Enfields or all of the M-1 Garands, M-1 Carbines, Japanese Arisakas that were all used in WW-2. Frankly, I am very proud of all of the law abiding armed citizens who have decided to use the ballot box for a regime change. |

| #8 How easy is it to get a gun license in America? What is process? Apologies for bluntly exposing your ignorance but there is no "gun license" requirement for US citizens. In other words, Americans aren't required to ask permission to excersise their constitutional rights - guns or otherwise. |

| #7 I would answer thus: Good laws (that is laws that work as intended) are backed by statistics not passion 'must do something' rhetoric. 1. Statistics have proven that the more guns = less crime. 2. Mass killings have just about all occured in gun-free zones. 3. Gun control efforts always attempt to disarm the law abiding but do nothing to get guns from criminals. |

| #6 When written, "well-regulated" meant "well-supplied". I blame the change in meaning of "regulated" on the steam engine. |

| #5 Yes, employment is still penalized by both the State and the Federal Governments. This yoke will only be lifted when everyone finally works for the state. Our betters in Washington continue to feverishly working toward this reality. "You didn't make that"~ BHO |

| #2 Why are the euros so worried about our gun control laws? Because they need USA as muscle to enforce their utopia on the World---which means USA has to be controlled. |
