Oh Put a Sock in it Chuck…

Right on cue Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), Richard Daley, Paul Helmke and the other members of the “Brady Bill Bunch”, who never let a shooting go to waste, are out decrying lax gun laws as contributing to Hasan’s actions at Fort Hood. In fact Helmke had a statement on his national organization’s website the same day of the shooting… Just couldn’t wait could you Paul?

They place blame on the “availability” of firearms. They state that it is America’s “unhealthy love” of guns which perpetuates these shootings. After all, don’t you realize? Hasan bought that gun at a “gun store!” The laws, they are too lenient, and it is too easy to get a gun… so let’s take freedom away from the people! God knows we wouldn’t want to deal with what really killed those brave men and women… Hasan!

I am so tired of slime-balls like Schumer being provided a microphone to spew their vitriolic ignorance. He has the audacity to say that federal gun laws are not restrictive enough to stop lunatics from getting guns. However, it is federal laws that preclude military members, like those stationed at Fort Hood, from carrying their own personal firearms for protection on DOD property. A law which did a bang up job deterring Hasan by the way.

What difference do you suppose one armed person could have made? But come on now, trained soldiers carrying firearms? We can’t have that. Its quite fine for you to carry your gun into battle Sonny, but here on post, now that's a different story. There is simply no reason for you to be armed. As long as you exclude a radical Islamic Palestinian traitor whose jihadist rhetoric was overlooked by the same entity that says you need not be armed. Hey Chuck! how about looking into that…

Add to this madness the fact that Texas has one of the most liberal open-carry and conceal-carry laws in the nation. Consider this, had ol’ Hasan picked the local Wal-Mart to go on his little jihad, the headlines would have read “One dead as Local Rancher prevents Army Major’s Deadly Rampage”. And have been lucky to make the 11 o’clock news in Austin, let alone CNN.

These morons will say anything to deflect the truth. Being that all of these laws amount to nothing but the destruction of personal liberties for honest Americans, and are next to useless for stopping a Hasan-type from murdering innocent people. A law is no help when you desperately need a “9mm Glock 17” to stop a mad man whose is about to kill you.
