“VOX” : LIES DAMNED LIES, AND MORE LIES
(an example of failing the test of full accounting)
It’s a race problem. The data has consistently demonstrated that it’s a race problem.
We punish people who train their dogs because of the people who dont.
We punish the people who have insurance because of the people who dont.
We punish the people who produce because of the people who dont.
We punish the people who behave well in parks becasue of the people who dont.
We give moms in minivans going 4mph over the speed limit yet it takes 9 convictions before a car thief sees jail time, and the police do not even investigate property crime perpetrated by meth gangs.
We punish people for tax problems yet the IRS takes no responsibility for their advice.
We punish people in courtrooms for the crime of being too poor to take a day off from work for a procedural problem.
We make people renew drivers licenses every four years while the rest of the world works in decades or lifetimes.
We tax elderly out of their homes so that higher taxes can be extracted from a new generation.
Now you want to punish the people who behave well with guns because of the people who dont.
I can go on with this list of injustices forever.
This issue is done. The public won’t change. We increase gun ownership every year.
Fix the mental health problem.
Fix the out-of-control race problem.
Fix the injustice problem.
Otherwise the only reason we have guns – to eliminate injustice by replacement of a corrupt government with a new one – will be the consequence.
