Victor Davis Hanson on gun control

Posted by David Hardy · 30 April 2023 11:22 AM

At American Greatness:

"Defunding the police is based on the implicit assumption that greater criminality and violence, mostly directed against the most vulnerable, is a small price to pay, given a) the stigmatized criminal is given exemption, and b) the architects of defunding have mechanisms to ensure they are [not] exposed to inevitable spiraling crime rates.

Ditto gun control. The socialist point of neutering the Second Amendment is not just to disarm the populace, much less to prevent shootings. Rather, the aim is to ensure the government has a complete monopoly on arms, so that it can calibrate both the degree and nature of law enforcement, and thus render the citizen compliant and obsequious in order to ensure his protection from both criminals and the state."

Yes! Very Much SO. The Democrats could Care Less about Crime. Hence Why They Constantly Release Violent Recidivistic Felons with 20-30-40 Felonies.
