That is what they call it when someone repeats the same action over and over, each time expecting a different result. Insanity. Well, Progressives are at it again.
The Washington State Legislature is once again proposing an “assault rifle” ban, along with a ban on “high capacity” magazines. (SB 6396) We’ve been down this road before. It’s never, ever, reduced violent crime. Tighter gun laws in general will not, can not, reduce violent crime.
Violent crime is committed by people who do not obey the law. Is that a hard concept for Progressives to understand? Apparently so. But it seems pretty straight forward to me. Criminal = doesn’t obey the law. Common sense logic. Yet, for some reason Progressive believe that making more laws will stop criminals from breaking the laws already on the books. These people call themselves intellectuals, I call them insane.
Referring to my two previous articles title “A Pragmatic Look at Gun Control”, Washington DC, with a complete ban on possession of a handgun became the “Murder Capitol”. Chicago with a complete ban on handguns now has a problem with too many kids being shot. California, with their gun bans have reduced violent crime by exactly 0%. Great Briton always had gun control, violence is increasing. Australia banned private ownership of most firearms and the violent crime rate actually increased. HELLO!!! It doesn’t freaking work!! Any moron can understand that. But not Progressives. So by that reckoning, Progressives are either idiots or imbeciles. Take your pick.
OR,
They have another agenda. They fear that what they intend to do will compel Americans to take up arms against them. Wasn’t that what King George III tried to do which sparked the American Revolutionary War? Is that what they really fear? Are they going to be so oppressive that Americans would start another Revolution?
It’s either one or the other, you decide. I don’t believe Progressives are idiots or imbeciles, at least not all of them. So oppression is the only logical answer.
