GUNS: Stop the socialist arguments

| March 20, 2013 9:37 PM

I am rather dismayed that the Cd’A Press chose to print the socialist propaganda by Alecia Warren as front page news Sunday, March 17. It is the same old socialist misinformation, lies, half truths, and manipulations. This same hysteria and fear mongering that they have been trying for some time to destroy the Second Amendment. She chose not to include how many guns were used for protection and defense which is in the millions of times each year across America and sited some AMA anti-gun rhetoric. According to statistics from the FBI, as gun ownership increases crime goes down. Fact!

Someone had best look at history as recent as Hitler and Stalin, after disarming their citizens with the same kind of lies as being used now, millions murdered. When you give up your only protection (firearms) you give up your freedom to the whim of the government.

Our government does not have the right to pick and choose what is best for each individual. The number of crimes involving semi-auto rifles does not justify millions of Americans who do not commit crimes, losing their property and right of self-defense to the likes of Obama, Feinstein and Biden and all the other socialist hacks in the country. This article by Ms. Warren is a pitiful attempt to lie, cheat, spread disinformation and manipulate public opinion, typical socialist virtues. All of this is just a sleazy gun grab attempt.

Unfortunately, socialists are like cockroaches. Once they crawl out from under their rock it’s too late, you already have an infestation. Maybe these lies float in the Northeast. Fortunately, most Idahoans can see through the lies and manipulation. And no I do not have to be nice to socialists or Nazis.
