Gun Control's False Promise: The Isla Vista Massacre Reveals the Emptiness of the Anti-Gun Lobby's 'Real Solutions'

The day after his 20-year-old son, Christopher, was shot down at a deli in Isla Vista, Calif., Richard Martinez blamed his death on "craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA." Gun-control advocates quickly seized upon Martinez's remarks, using his grief to obscure the illogic of their position.

Our founding fathers understood that our RKBA would result in these types of deaths but still required the gov't to respect the RKBA. Its a price for freedom and if people don't like that price then they can move to russia or china ... but they don't. In this century, more people have been killed by gov't officials than by terrorists in this country, usually with guns. We don't hear a clamor to take away guns from the gov't.

Well, I agree with the first reason. Craven politicians are the reason we all suffer the lie of safety in the first place. They live in abject fear of everyone that challenges their "right to rule" with free will, and personal sovereignty, while secretly seeking the same (for themselves only) at the expense of everyone else.

Responsible gun owners too feel shock and anger over these senseless killings, but I must point out that this man's anger is directed at the wrong target. All of these perps have been under treatment for psychiatric problems and on psychotropic drugs. So don't be blaming the law-abiding gun owners for convenience store, liquor store or bank robberies, or ANY OTHER crimes committed by low-life or flipped-out criminal scum.

Gun free zones are simply killing fields for mass murderers. The truth of that statement has been proven once more.

Interesting,isn't it?
The very example the loyalist bastards use to scream for more gun control is EXACTLY why we Patriots stand up to the bullies by refusing to forgo our right to arms. Indeed, it's the crazed, the evil, the thugs and the creeps who perpatrate these heinous acts they do the blood dance over that we intend fully to be prepared to defend ourselves against.

Right to bear arms means any weapons, not just guns. What they are really talking about is the right to use deadly force to defend yourself.

I have the right to live more than anyone who would criminally attack me. That's a part of what Liberty means. It is individualism. These damned collectivists want to take away our liberty. Get to the polls and vote for Liberty!
