I found this over on Shooting the Messengers. It seems that a feminist blog run by true idiots (sorry, redundant) has taken on the issue of gun control by attempting to fisk a pro Second Amendment post on another blog. Here is a sample of the attempted fisking:
Here is a quote from the pro gun blog - "Yet much of the effort by the perpetrators of gun control has been to deny the rest of us safe, effective and well-designed guns."
Here is Ms. Einstein's answer - "Actually much of the effort has been to keep guns and weapons that are considered "too dangerous" off the streets. Things like rocket launchers, grenades and other items usable by terrorists. Besides, who carries a grenade or an automatic sub-machinegun like a Mac 10 around for self-defense?"
Actually explosives like grenades and rockets come under the heading of destructive devices and are not generally considered to be in the same class as firearms where the Second Amendment is concerned. As for sub-machine guns (the word automatic is superfluous since "machine-gun" implies a gun capable of fully automatic fire) here are a couple of pictures from Israel.
Technically the women in these pictures are not carrying sub machine-guns. They are carrying M-16 assault rifles which fire the 5.56 MM NATO cartridge while a sub machine-gun by definition fires a pistol cartridge.
This bottom picture is my favorite. It shows three Israeli girls buying ice cream at the mall.
And here is the interesting thing. When you exclude violent acts committed by Palestinians there is very little violent crime in Israel. There are also very few accidental shootings. Israelis of both sexes are taught from a young age to handle firearms safely and constant exposure to firearms keeps that training fresh in their minds.
If you want proof that these people are not only unutterably stupid but complete moral lepers listen to this:
If the Jews during WWII had had more guns available to them it would have been one more excuse for Hitler to hunt them all down, which he attempted anyway.
Think about that for a minute and see if your skin doesn't get up and walk out of the room without you. By this "logic" the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto shouldn't have fought back since they were outnumbered and didn't have any real chance of winning.
It is very nearly impossible for me to recognize a common humanity with people who think this way. If evil is coming to murder you do not sit there like a terrified rabbit and wait for the wolf's jaws to crush the life out of you. Fight back and take as many of the bastards with you as you can!
In a primitive society in which people do not enjoy the protection of modern civilization those who do not believe in fighting back tend to get killed off before they can reproduce. This keeps the numbers of those who suffer from the form of mental illness known as pacifism to a minimum. You can file it under "no good deed goes unpunished" that the introduction of the rule of law protects such people and allows them to clog the gene pool with their worthless DNA.
