Our rights should not be held hostage by the failure of Democrats to control crime in the cities they run. Baltimore, one of the cities suing Glock, is a perfect example. That city represents 9% of Maryland’s population, but 38% of the state’s gun-related homicide. Ya guys, sure, Glock did this to you. [More]

If inhabitants of our crime-ridden inner cities knew how cynically the left/Democrats have been using the violence there as a political tool for decades, maybe they wouldn’t be so quick to vote for them. Restoring order could be done by calling in the national guard and other measures, but it won’t happen as long as the suffering of inner-city people can be used as a “weapon” in the gun-control debate. This ploy is both unethical and evil, but that hasn’t stopped them from doing it.
Ask yourself: What sort of person is willing to sacrifice innocent lives – the children and other bystanders slain by gang violence – for a political agenda?
There is a “red herring” here, too, rhetorically and logically-speaking: The violence of the inner cities is almost exclusively a gang problem of black/Latino gangs, but the anti-gun people in their blatant dishonesty use that as an excuse to ban firearms for everyone. Dishonest and unethical as an argument, but they don’t care. Gotta break some eggs to make an omelet, right?
