Why isn’t the main focus on Gun Control not on Gun Control, but the collateral damage done to our children in our schools caused by violent video games, Hollywood movies, and the Liberal’s agenda of disarming America? Why does it have to be the lesson that our children are forced to figure out on their own because the family Sunday dinner round table dynamic where questions can be answered, and the answers to the questions can be explained?
We have technology creating a void where each individual in the family can find their own way, and own world, without looking for answers to the questions from edited and agenda driven Social Media moguls who just happen to be Liberals doing everything in their power to silence conservatism.
No matter how much Progressives believe that the Constitution is just a rough blueprint that is subject to any individual President, and his corrupt AG and Justice Departments by using their own intent and interpretation to bypass America’s ‘Rule of Law’ and Constitution, is just another brazen attempt to undermine our Republic, where no member of Congress on either side of the aisle tried to stop it from happening over the last 8 years of the Obama Administration! I’m sure you know that a country without laws is subject to tyranny, lawlessness, and then open season for any outside interest’s who are only out to conquer America’s Constitutional Republic for the purpose of growing their world using Globalism through their attempted Socialist transformation of America!
I don’t know about you, but I was brought up in the 50’s and 60’s which makes me a ‘Boomer,’ and I was taught that I could become anything I wanted to be through hard work and dedication to my own future and goals that I chose. I was also taught that when it comes to money that there’s no ceiling, and when it comes to your individual potential, the sky’s the limit, so if you believe in those perks that our founding father’s Constitution affords you, then you should also know, and actually feel in your heart, that 
Progressive Liberals and their Socialist agenda have nothing in common with our founding father’s Constitution, which by the way ‘IS’ inherently Conservative, and that the Liberal left platform, when it comes to gun control, is just another ruse to get their hands on the reigns on America’s future without the push back from the American people being backed by the 2nd Amendment! ~~~
Is the Constitution Inherently Conservative?
By James R. Rogers
Our obsession with the Constitution has saddled us with a dysfunctional political system, kept us from debating the merits of divisive issues and inflamed our public discourse. Instead of arguing about what is to be done, we argue about what James Madison might have wanted done 225 years ago.
Yet the progressive argument against the Constitution has never been all that persuasive, even if it be granted that it is not a perfect legal instrument (which I grant it is not).
First, the Constitution provides the rules to the political game. Consider the role of rules even in recreational games. The foul line, the distance from the pitcher’s mound to the batting box, the number of strikes or balls. None of these has an objectively reasonable prescription. Yet the games can be played only because of the rules “whatever they are. Made-up games of neighborhood children collapse quickly not because the games are intrinsically uninteresting (although they usually are), but because the creator usually can’t resist changing the rules in the middle of the game in his favor. Other children soon tire of the arguing and bargaining that substitutes for the playing, and they give up the game, exasperated.
Even a second-best constitutional system is better than a system where processes need to be made up while the game is being played. Games can be played without optimal rules; games cannot be played, however, if the rules are merely suggestions for the players.
Secondly, the Constitution’s checks and balances don’t exist to prevent policy action (as in the progressive narrative), but rather to enhance the republican foundation for actions that are taken. 
The multiple “veto points” in the U.S. separation-of-power system promote adoption of policies with a greater degree of consensus than base majoritarianism and seek to promote deliberation and thus increase the quality of the legislative output. The degree to which this occurs can be debated, but the form of the institution aims to promote the representative heart of republican self-governance.
While progressives have long argued that the Constitution’s separated institutions are inherently conservative, they mistake “conservative” for what is more accurately described as “status-quo preserving.” Some of my own academic work contests that separation of powers is necessarily status-quo preserving, but even granting the belief, the implications of status-quo preserving institutions mean one thing in an era with a small national government. In an era with a wide-ranging regulatory and redistributive national government, status-quo preserving institutions do not imply politically conservative outcomes. A bare commitment to majoritarianism can just as conceivably lead to a radical, precipitate reduction in the size of the national government as it can allow the national government to grow even bigger. If progressive criticisms of the Constitution take hold and we do treat it as merely an advisory legal instrument, progressives shouldn’t be entirely surprised if the get a lot less than they thought they bargained for.
Gun Control by Any Other Name is Just ‘Control!’
There are 30,000-gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. populations on 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016. Do the math: 0.00925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant! What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death:
- 65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws
- 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified
- 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons – gun violence
- 3% are accidental discharge deaths
So technically, “gun violence” is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation?
- 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago
- 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore
- 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit
- 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years)
So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause.
This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1.
Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course, but understand, so it is not guns causing this. It is a crime rate spawned by the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So, if all cities and states are not created equally, then there must be something other than the tool causing the gun deaths.
Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in comparison to other deaths? All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, rape, assault all is done by criminals and thinking that criminals will obey laws is ludicrous. That’s why they are criminals.
But what about other deaths each year?
- 40,000+ die from a drug overdose–THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT!
- 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths
- 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities (exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide)
Now it gets good:
- 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital!
- 710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It’s time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease, even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides……Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions!
So, you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It’s pretty simple.:
Taking away guns gives control to governments.
The founders of this nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace.
Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs.
So, the next time someone tries to tell you that gun control is about saving lives, look at these facts and 
remember these words from Noah Webster: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force at the command of Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power.”
Remember, when it comes to “gun control,” the important word is “control,” not “gun.”….
