Why Are Anti-Gun People So Illogical?

Mayor Bloomberg suggested that cops should maybe go on strike so people will want more gun control — since, you know, not having cops around will make people want to defend themselves less.

The anti-gun crowd has numerous extremely illogical arguments (“Making a school a gun free zone will prevent people from shooting up schools!” and “People who disregard laws on murder will listen to laws banning guns!”), but why is that? Well, why do they have an obsession with guns instead of other things that kill people? Cars kill way more people than guns (and they’re not even designed for killing!), and after each tragic automobile death, it would be just as easy to propose some law to perhaps make accidents less likely or perhaps require more training for cars and make them harder to obtain. But the anti-gun crowd never react to automobile deaths that way because they don’t actually care about people dying; they’re irrationally fearful and obsessed with guns. And since the anti-gun impulse isn’t based on logic but just an incoherent fear, the arguments about it of course aren’t very logical.

Many people are wondering why we aren’t having a gun control debate. That’s because we already had it and the freedom side won. The only thing left is to get the anti-gun people the psychological help they need.

  1. Preventable medical mistakes kill far more people in the US than guns. Clearly it’s too easy for people to use a doctor. We need to immediately take action and impose common sense doctor control laws before any more lives are lost.

  2. Gun people are like King Arthur riding away while our faithful servant Patsy bangs together two empty ‘alves of coconuts after vanquishing the Black Knight. Meanwhile, the Black Knight hysterically screams at us that he’ll bite our legs off.

  3. Car accidents kill far more people in the US than guns. Clearly it’s too easy for people to get a car. We need to immediately take action and impose common sense automobile control laws before any more lives are lost. We must get these rampaging machines of death off of our streets.

  4. Sexually transmitted diseases kill almost as many people in the US as guns. Clearly it’s too easy for people to have sex. We need to immediately take action and impose common sense sex control laws before any more lives are lost.

  5. one of the assertions Bloomberg made – and this just made my jaw drop – was that it is OUR (the citizen’s) responsibility to make the police officer’s job safer and easier to do – and that the biggest thing we can do is give up our guns so that police officers can “do their job in safety. huh????

    What planet is this guy from?? How many police officers were hurt in the Colorado shooting? Or 99% of ALL shootings?

  6. “The only thing left is to get the anti-gun people the psychological help they need.”

    I hope that that implies ‘Re-Education Camps’, like those that FEMA has built across the country, to hold conservatives and their off-spring. Just remember, when we get back into power those will be ‘Our’ ‘Re-Education Camps’!
