Imaginary monster! Like Gun Violence

As the violent crime rate shoots through the ceiling in one Democrat city after another, the politicians–was it always such a shameful thing to be?–are beating the drum about “Gun Violence.” Gotta do somethin’ about Gun Violence!

This is ca-ca. There is no such real thing as Gun Violence. Gun Violence is an abstraction. The only reason to speak of it as a real thing is to try to deceive whoever might be listening.

No one has ever been or ever will be killed by Gun Violence. No: you get killed by violent criminals who use guns to commit crimes. The criminals are not abstractions; they are real. And they’re having a high old time lately because Democrat politicians, who run the blue cities and the blue states, turn them loose on little or no bail–just as if they hadn’t a care in the world about these villains committing more crimes, hurting innocent people.

We do not know why Democrat officials do this. By some weird political alchemy, they transmute a three-time rapist into a… “victim.”

What do you suppose would happen to the crime rate if murderers and rapists were promptly put to death, after conviction, and other felons got thrown into prison for a very long time? Not that Democrat politicians would ever allow it. They have to be smashed first before we can effectively protect ourselves from predators.

Today in New Jersey it’s almost impossible to own a gun legally. That, of course, doesn’t stop criminals and psychos who don’t obey the gun laws from committing crimes with guns. But just try telling that to a liberal.

When I was a boy, if you wanted a gun, you just walked into a store and bought one. You could even mail-order one from Sears Roebuck. I remember the gun displays in the sporting goods sections of several big department stores–E.J. Korvett’s, W.T. Grant, 2 Guys From Harrison. My Uncle Ferdie bought his .22 rifle at Korvett’s. Set up a target range in his basement and sometimes let us, his nephews, have a go at it.

You just bought the gun if you wanted one, and nobody felt threatened, nobody expected you to shoot anyone. There was literally no such thing as a “school shooting.” People would have had no idea what you were talking about.

Then along came the 1960s, when the Left took control of our society and corrupted it. Today that corruption is in full bloom. And one of the things we have to show for it is mindless violence. Like school shootings. But Democrats see this as their ideal opportunity to accomplish something they’ve long desired–the total disarmament of law-abiding American citizens. So they swear to us that if we just let them take away the guns, everything will be peaches ‘n’ cream.

It’s the moral corruption, the unfocused rage, and the sheer Godlessness of it all that really does the killing. But don’t ask liberals to get rid of those things, because they’re the ones that have put them there.
