Can We Ban Guns In Movies?

Some food for though; Rambo movies did not stop violence and neither do any others where guns are used…

Harvey Weinstein will make a show that he promises will destroy the National Rifle Association. No real details on the film but it is not going to be a documentary. It will probably be something like the Al Gore global warming crap that tries to indoctrinate people into a different reality. You know, all guns are bad and people don’t need them.

Use these kinds of propaganda and some folks will be influenced. There are plenty of people who recite things based on some movie or story as fact while ignoring the reality of the situation. The faked moon landing conspiracy comes to mind.

I doubt Weinstein will be able to influence the debate as there are far too many gun owners who know that more guns equals less crime. That has been proven time and again but the left, and morons like Weinstein, think that guns are the problem.

Let me reiterate; more guns equals less crime.

As Al Gore might say, the science is settled.

Weinstein has made it clear that he does not think there should be any guns in this country except for the guns in the hands of the government. I saw a movie once about a place where the only people with guns were government and soldiers. The movie was Schindler’s List.

One would think that a Jewish guy would be wary of government confiscating firearms from its citizens considering what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany but Weinstein seems to live in the world he creates in movies. Emily Miller points out in her article that Weinstein must have watched too many of his own movies if he thinks a fully loaded gun will just pop up when he needs it.

I am willing to bet the film will do nothing to hurt the NRA.

In fact, I bet they get even more members.

I also think that we should ban guns in all movies. We should make it illegal for Hollywood and the rest to possess prop guns and there should be a fine if a gun is used or displayed in a movie. Hell, if, as Weinstein says, we do not need guns in society then we do not need guns in movies in society…

More Evidence John Lott Is Right

More guns do mean less crime

After Barack Obama was made King, err, elected, the sales of firearms in this country skyrocketed. Citizens of this great nation know a Socialist gun grabber when they see one and Barack Obama is definitely a Socialist gun grabber.

But Big Dog, he has not tried to grab guns.

Really? He and his Justice Department ran an illegal gun running operation designed to make it look as if American guns were getting into Mexico and being used to murder people. The guns would not have been there if the government, under the direction of Obama and Holder, did not force gun dealers to sell the guns illegally and then allow them to cross the border. This was set up to allow them to pursue stricter gun laws but they got caught.

When Congresswoman Giffords was shot the gun grabbers were out in full force discussing how the guns should be more restricted.

Barack Obama does not believe that the Second Amendment is an individual right (even though it is in the Bill of Rights) despite what he tries to portray on the issue.

Obama cannot go all in on gun control/confiscation because he wants to be reelected. If he gets a second term he will not have anything to worry about and he will go after the guns. Remember what he told the Russians, he will have more flexibility.

Those of us who believe in the right to keep and bear arms know that there is nothing wrong with a law abiding citizen carrying a firearm. Open or concealed makes no difference to those of us who are completely comfortable with people exercising their right. I feel safe around law abiding people who carry firearms because I know they mean me no harm.

The only people who need to fear a law abiding citizen who carries a firearm are those who engage in violent criminal behavior.

The huge increase in gun sales has had several positive effects on the country. The sales are good for the economy, the gun industry employs nearly 200,000 people and the crime rate has gone down.

Emily Miller of The Washington Times reports that the FBI’s own crime statistics show a decrease in murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults in 2011 (a 4% drop in violent crime).

The gun grabbers want you to believe that more guns would lead to bloodbaths in the streets but the increase in ownership has not caused an elevation in crime because while millions more guns are being purchased the violent crime rate has dropped.

John Lott wrote More Guns Less Crime and his analysis was spot on.

And as Miller points out:

Mr. Arulanandam [NRA] pointed out that only a handful of states had concealed-carry programs 25 years ago, when the violent-crime rate peaked. Today, 41 states either allow carrying without a permit or have “shall issue” laws that make it easy for just about any noncriminal to get a permit. Illinois and Washington, D.C., are the only places that refuse to recognize the right to bear arms. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence did not respond to requests for comment.

If the gun grabbers were right, we’d be in the middle of a crime wave, considering how many guns are on the streets. “Firearms sales have increased substantially since right after the 2008 election,” said Bill Brassard, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), which represents the $4 billion firearms and ammunition industry. “There was a leveling off in 2010, but now we’re seeing a surge again.”

Is this absolute evidence? No but the evidence keeps mounting that this is cause and effect and the evidence keeps getting harder to ignore. One only needs to look at crime rates in areas where gun laws are strict or guns are not allowed at all. These Democrat run hell holes have much higher violent crime rates than areas where the Second Amendment is upheld and people are truly free. Chicago, Obama’s home turf, is a prime example.

Let’s face it, how many criminals want to take the chance that the person they select as a target is carrying a firearm?

More guns clearly means less crime just as more liberals means less freedom.
