John Stossel

but we know the left lies and does not care one but as long as they get through the agenda they want :)

good little video though and with other research shows us is actually # 62 even behind some euro countries with mass public shootings!

truth sucks to the left but as we know they just try to shut down threads shut down the speakers and so on since they cant argue on truth and facts !



snippet of what the video is about

CNN claimed that "the U.S. has the most mass shootings". The WSJ reported that "U.S. leads the world in mass shootings." Nearly every major media outlet and former President Obama said the same.

But the claim is based on just one study, and the author of that study, Adam Lankford, would not release his data to other gun reseachers in the field.

Economist John Lott argues that Lankford's study has many flaws.

No surprise. At the end if the day, it doesnt matter either way. America is supposed to be based on freedom, not safety(or any other metric for that matter).

More despicable behavior from the left. No surprise here.

Thanks to John and John for rationally pointing out the flaws/lies of the other study, and for telling us the truth.

Won't matter. Even if we had absolutely 100% irrefutable evidence that guns save lives every time they are used, the left would simply have a pity party for all the dead "would be murderers" whose lives were ended too soon due to gun violence.

Most of that mindset is rooted in the fact that most of the radical left and unstable individuals capable of engaging in terrible emotionally driven acts of violence. If they had a gun, the KNOW they would probably kill people and they assume everyone else is just like them despite assertions to the contrary.

I can't count the number of times I've heard some anti gun type say "If I had a gun I know I get mad enough to kill people so I don't want a gun" and when I explain they SHOULDN'T have a gun given their lack of self control and propensity for violence they roll their eyes and say "You know YOU'D do the same thing" and I'm always left thinking "shit...I have a gun right NOW...if that was true you and all your buddies would be dead."

I usually don't tell them that because they honestly cannot relate it it. They also thinks cops go outside every day looking for black people to kill and that black people only kill in the most extreme cases of protecting friends, family or livelihood (even if it's drugs). That the war on drugs is a diabolical white plot to kill black people and has nothing to do with trying to make life for everyone safer because drug addicts don't make life safe for anyone.

There are people who if they got their way would disarm all police officers but let drug dealers carry guns so that they could protect themselves from police officers who always target them out of racial hatred and nothing more.

It really is this simple.

Man, that's it, right there. Every time this comes up, that's my counter. If you want to get anecdotal evidence of the state of our republic, see what people's responses are to that - it's pretty discouraging.

Gun control has never been about crime. It's about disarming a population that might revolt once the entire liberal agenda is in effect.

Pol Pot would be proud.

bing a 80s punker :) the Dead Kennedys Holiday in Camboida song has a lot of truth that applies today :)
sadly the punks of that era either went left or are still folks you would want to hang out with today ;)


So, you've been to school
For a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car
Thinking you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Playing ethnicky jazz
To parade your snazz
On your five-grand stereo
Braggin' that you know
How the niggers feel cold
And the slum's got so much soul
It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear
Brace yourself, my dear
It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough, kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife
You're a star-belly snitch
You suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich
While your boss gets richer off you
Well, you'll work harder
With a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers
Till you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake
Now you can go where the people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need, my son...
What you need, my son...
Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people are dressed in black
A holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack
Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul
Pol Pot

"White China" by Ultravox is another good one, if more subtle:

White China
Ultravox
When pale turns to pink
With a soft unnerving ease
And all you've built around
May just tumble to the ground
We stand or fall
With your future in another's hands
We stand or fall
When your life is not your own
When white turns to red
In the not too distant days
Will force and misery
Be the life you have to lead?
We stand or fall
With your children in anothers world
We stand or fall
When your town is not your own
White China
White China
When crimson takes a hold
When the lights go down on all you've ever known
When all you'll ever do
Is worked out for you
We stand or fall
When the thoughts you have are not your own
We stand or fall
When the freedom slips away
