Want to End Gun Violence?

As this is written a small bipartisan group of senators is attempting to knit together a new law, or group of laws, that would serve to "reduce gun violence," and attract enough Republican votes to skirt the filibuster.

And as of this morning's news headlines, the "answer" the Senate's gang of negotiators have arrived at would not have prevented Uvalde, or Parkland, or Buffalo, Sandy Hook, or the Pulse night club, or any of the recent mass shootings. 

But notice how quickly they've packaged together a collection, a "want list" of "infringements" they think they can ram through Congress.  I predicted this in my "Somebody DO Something" posting a few weeks back.  Predictable.  These dimbulbs have moss growing on their backs from living in the Swamp for too long... 

However, I, The Chuckmeister, your Loyal Scribe Without Portfolio, have the answer to gun violence.  You ready for it?  Ready?  Here it is:

                        Arm Everybody.

That's right, I suggest we simply publish the exact text of the 2nd Amendment in bright orange letters so everybody can see it.  And then encourage everybody of legal age who meets the Fed's background check requirements to go out and buy a firearm.  Legally.  Get the necessary training, of course, but buy one.  Today!

This is made even more urgent now because of the dramatic flight of cops from Big Blue cities.  Nearly every Big Blue is suffering from that whole "Defund the Police" idiocy, resulting in a doubling of retirements and resignations, and now their citizens are paying the price.  

The citizens ALWAYS pay the price for Progressive idiocy.  The FBI just published statistics indicating that you're 86.1% more likely to die by errant gunfire in cities of 50,000 population and larger.  And cities of 50,000 and larger population are much more likely to infringe upon your firearm rights than smaller communities.  So how do we fix this mess?  

Let me take you back in time, and then you decide.

Let's say you lived back in the 1850's in Dodge City, Kansas.  And let's say you happened to wander into the Long Branch Saloon one fine day and bellied up to the bar.  And on the way you happened to bump into a particularly rough looking cowboy, still dirty from the trail, with a yuuuuuge Colt .45 on his hip.  Do you know what you would say?  You would say, "Pardon me, sir, my mistake!  And have a nice day!"  Why?  Because he was armed.  And you were armed.  And everybody else in the place was armed.  And that's why if you look back in history Dodge City's murder rate of less than one per month was half that of Philadelphia's was at that same time.  And Chicago's.  And yes, New Yawk City's.  Yes, check it out if you deign to doubt the Chuckmeister.  And shame on you in you do!

      And armed society is a polite society!!!

So while the hard-core Progressives are trying their best to empty the prisons of three-strike felons, "equity," doncha' know, and violent crime is at crisis levels, while doing their very best to disarm us, you have to ask yourself why?  Why are they refusing to prosecute those who wish to prey upon us, the citiizenry?  And why are they trying to keep us from defending ourselves?  That makes no sense to anyone...but them!

I dunno' about you, but I know when when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.  That means I'm now responsible for my own safety and protection.  And so are you.  Just wrap your arms and your mind around that simple fact and you just might live through the O'Bama Administration... 

If you think you might need more "formal" permission "to keep and bear arms," than the 2nd Amendment guarantees us all as our individual Right, that's a decision you'll have to make for yourself.  But as for me...  

    I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by six...
