The Left Has Lost The Gun Control Argument
|
[AMERICANTHINKER] I've never watched The View other than clips of notable segments offering a glimpse into the minds of female progressive media people. One such four-minute mini-discussion took place Tuesday that, I think, reveals that the gun-grabbers have lost the battle for control of the narrative on gun ownership. Gun ownership by Blacks is rapidly expanding in the wake of the St. George Floyd
 ...the patron saint of Minneapolis, a sterling example for our children and indeed for us all. St. George was martyed by the Devil's agents in blue while standing on a street corner preaching tolerance and racial justice or something like that...
riots and the demonization of police that has led to a spike in violent mostly peaceful crime in most major cities.Joy Behar introduced a segment on more Black females buying guns, and a member of the panel, actress Sherri Shepherd, who was a former cast member and is now filling in for Meghan McCain, announced she had purchased a 9 mm gun. The audience laughed a bit nervously, but she elaborated that during the quarantine, she had felt helpless, especially when "a march" was announced in her neighborhood.
She went on to explain that she received firearms safety training and that she practices shooting with her girlfriends. And she purchased the gun, as did some other actresses with her, at one of two Black-owned gun shops in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and felt "empowered."

In other words, she is a responsible gun owner (though, possibly as a joke, she states that she keeps her gun in "a drawer with my special toys,"
I can imagine the 911 call on that little accident.
not locked up as it should be in a household with a child, her 16-year-old son, Jeffrey). Nobody commented on that.
What followed revealed that the progressives are more or less giving up on gun control. There was no derision at all. The next cast member to speak, Sunny Hostin, mentioned the dangers to family members — something that happens when gun-owners are insufficiently trained — but mentioned "white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...
" as the biggest domestic danger according to the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
, implicitly endorsing the notion that Black people need to be able to defend themselves (especially from Whites).
Ms. Hostin stated that her Black girlfriends are also getting guns. She mentioned Breonna Taylor and defending against "radicals" (by which I assume she meant White racists). I kind of doubt that Ms. Sheppard was worried about KKK marches, but Hostin was searching for some way of avoiding attacking Blacks for owning guns and cast the trend as a reaction to White racism.
What really struck me was Joy Behar citing the history of gun control as a means of keeping Blacks disarmed, which is historically true in the South, when the armed wing of the Democrats, the KKK, terrorized Blacks and kept them segregated and subservient. But she claimed that in the 1960s, the NRA sought gun control as a means of keeping Blacks disarmed as racial tensions grew. Behar even predicted that now that Blacks are buying firearms, we'll see more gun control efforts! I doubt she'll be joining the NRA anytime soon, but casting gun control as racist has got to please them.
Behar also stated, "If I got a gun, I'd shoot myself. I'd shoot myself in the foot, I'm such a klutz."
So the fallback position seems to be that White racism is so dangerous that Blacks need to arm themselves, and it would be racist to stop them, but it's still dangerous to own guns.
