First the
shooting at a school in Connecticut, and then the ambush of firefighters in
upstate New York has provided the anti-gun lobby with ammunition to demand
restrictions on guns. President Obama, Democrat
Sen. Feinstein, and the media have all heightened their hatred of the American
Constitution and the 2nd Amendment, demanding more restrictions on
guns, or banning of guns altogether.
Let us look
more closely at the issue. In New York,
the murderous William Spengler had been convicted years ago for killing his grandmother
with a hammer. Why was he not executed
then? LIBERALISM! He was a vicious murderer, yet he was allowed
to live of the taxpayers for 18 years in jail.
When he got out, he went to murder again. And did so.
The media
stresses that Spengler used weapons like those used in the school shooting in
Connecticut. But had the federals
enforced the law already on the books, he should never have had any weapons. But more is involved. He had killed. Why was he not executed? If you say he was crazy when he killed his
grandmother with a hammer, is that really an excuse? If he were insane, if he were an insane
murderer, all the more reason to execute him.
Justice, Dike, is portrayed as a women wearing a blindfold, holding a
scale and a sword. Justice should be
blind. And justice should be equal – if you
take a life, you forfeit your own.
Spengler should have been executed after killing his grandmother. The liberal sickness that infects the justice
system prevented Spengler’s execution.
Reform him. Pay for his
incarceration for 18 years. And the
result of the liberal approach – Spengler comes out shooting, killing innocent
firefighters trying to save homes and citizens.
GUNS WERE NOT THE PROBLEM.
KEEPING THE MURDERER ALIVE SO HE
COULD KILL AGAIN: THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. Just
a few days ago in Wisconsin, a convicted murderer attacked a prison guard, and
the prison was in lock down. Had the
murderer been executed, the guard might not have suffered.
The
Connecticut school shooting is different.
A nut case went ballistic. About
20 murdered. One hopes the killer will
be executed so he cannot return to his forte.
But others have pointed out that last year in gun-control Chicago, some
400 school-age teens have been killed by guns.
But guns are outlawed there. Yet
more were killed in Chicago than in the Connecticut massacre. One notices it less because the media do not
highlight the problems in liberal urbania.
Many Americans
favor the right to own a weapon. Others
vehemently oppose. Perhaps we might find
an area of compromise. Democrats
generally favor gun restrictions; Republicans demand the right to own
them. A compromise might be this:
Republicans can continue to purchase and carry guns, while Democrats would lose
that right. As most violent criminals
are Democrats, this might well reduce the crime rate. The Feds might use this law to end the
crime-havens like Detroit, placing all Democrats with guns in federal penitentiaries. The law would have little effect upon
Republicans, who are mostly law-abiding anyway.
Disarm the criminals in the Black ghettos,
and the hoods may become more livable for all the Blacks who reside there. But that is the last thing the Democrats want
to do. Instead, they seek to disarm
law-abiding America so that the criminals can “redistribute the wealth.” The Democrats, with the trial lawyers
organizations behind them, want soft verdicts for criminals. They opposed the death penalty, and all harsh
penalties. They really do not want
penalties: just rehabilitation, re-education, apologies. But do not punish. And so crime is so high in America,
especially in areas controlled by Democrats.
Generally,
the Democrats are the party of the criminals and pro-crime groups, the lumpen
poor and the super rich, the ideological Left, and the illegal aliens. And the
welfare crowd. Sadly, Obama demonstrated
that this pro-crime coalition can win a majority of the American voters. Those who abide by the law, who support the
US Constitution, who seek to punish the guilty, we are in the minority
now. But perhaps a compromise is
possible. Outlaw guns for Democrats! Ban guns in the hands of
Democrats; keep them in the hands of Republicans. Then America can move to a safer, saner
future.----------Hugh Murray
