Anti-gun Crowd once again Exploits Tragedy

Hat tip to my sister at Stand in the Trenches for sending me this release (from the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort – [WAVE]) that she found on Charlie Sykes blog.

I’m not surprised, and as Charlie Sykes says, “This didn’t take long.”

If WAVE is truly concerned with violence, why aren’t they pushing to get the perpetrators of these crimes behind bars with longer sentences, less leniency, no leniency for repeat offenders and the like instead of blaming the weapon used? It’s because their goal is not really to stop violence, it is to remove guns from our society.

Here’s the proof: Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) told the country on CBS’ 60 Minutes

"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, I would have done it."

How much clearer do you want it? Blatant disregard for our Constitutional rights.

The Brady Campaign, The Million Mom March (I don’t think they ever really even had a ‘million’ moms!), the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and all the rest have the same goal as Sen. Feinstein. It has nothing to do with stopping violence.

I wrote here about how the Left needs activist Judges that are willing to legislate from the bench based on their personal political beliefs. The anti-gun crowd also uses legislation created by Congress and the States to change the United States Constitution by making the personal possession of firearms illegal, effectively 'making the Second Amendment null and void.

They use legislation, and lawsuits filed with activist judges to uphold their legislation, because they don’t stand a snowballs chance in hell to change the Constitution as regards the Second Amendment they way it should be changed: through the proper process that requires ratification by the States.
