Take Away White Man’s Guns
BY Herschel Smith

Andrea Grimes, senior political reporter at the lefty women’s site RH Reality Check, sank to a disgusting new low Thursday by saying that guns should be confiscated only from white men.
“Suggestion: we don’t have to vaporize all the guns. Let’s just vaporize white men’s guns,” Grimes tweeted, linking to an article about Arizona shooter Ryan Giroux.
“White guys cannot be trusted to use guns responsibly. It is time to stop giving guns to white guys,” Grimes added. ”I mean, it’s time to stop giving guns to everybody, but we can start with the white guys.”

“As a bonus, we can collect their tears for research and resource purposes while they line up to surrender their weapons,” Grimes said.
Hahahahaha … is that the way you think this is going to go down, deary? You’re going to pass a law to make our guns illegal, and we’re just going to line up to turn them in? We’re going to cry while we do it? You don’t get out much, do you?
The more likely scenario is this. Against the advice of the police, you pass a law that makes our guns illegal. The police have to enforce the confiscatory policies you learned in your idiotic sophomore collectivist classes in college. Blood runs in the streets, women weep for being made widows, and children weep for being made fatherless. The police curse you for making policies they have to implement while you sit perched on your elitist throne. Civil war consumes the nation, the electrical grid goes down not to return for years, medicines are unavailable, and the economy has collapsed. The things called the federal reserve and the stock market are but a distant memory of a different time that your children will never know except as told in fairy tales and stories.
You didn’t consider that possibility, did you? You’d better.

I was going to make a post about this woman’s screed, but didn’t know where to start with such ignorance. Thanks for laying it out. I agree with your version of how it would ‘go down’.

To answer your question no they do not think about what would happen. And 80% of the time they would be right that’s probably the number of Americans who would stand up and say it’s the Law we have to turn them in, Those people do not understand the number of people in this country who would fight for their freedom.

You realize that’s by design, right? All the “Concealed Carry Killer” stories, all the media’s focus on when “law-abiding gun owners” go bad, all the “90% of gun owners support such-and-such” B.S., everything. It’s all by design. It’s to make we normal gun owners feel like we’re the only sane ones.
If you ask me what I “know”, I “know” that 47% of homes self-report gun ownership (the actual number of gun-owning households is likely much higher), I “know” that 99.999% of those homes are good people who generally follow the law, and I “know” that if $#!+ ever really got bad, about 10% would have my back (which is still a Hell of a lot of people). But if you ask me what I “feel”, I feel alienated, like the NRA is MIA most of the time, and like I’m the only law-abiding gun owner in my town and the only sane one in my state.
That’s by design. It’s a good thing I function and make decisions using what I know, rather than what I feel.

More likely scenario:
Local cops say “this law is stupid, we’re not going to get our asses shot off trying to enforce it”.
Some feds try to enforce it, and get shot up/dead.
The rest decide they have better things to do with their time.
Congress decides to repeal the idiocy.

You put too much faith in Congress. They’ll never repeal it. It’ll get declared unconstitutional in a new SCOTUS ruling, or it will go unenforced but remain on the books nonetheless.
Congress never repeals anything. Case in point: notice how bills to repeal Obamacare came up and passed 40-something times in the House but wouldn’t get a vote in the Democrat-controlled Senate, but now that the GOP controls both not one single bill to repeal Obamacare has been passed in either chamber? That’s half the problem with the group.

Or how the Republicans couldn’t manage to “find” the votes not to fund Obamnesty.

I think you put too much faith in local cops, too. Most of the steroid-ridden local SWAT-types probably can’t wait to show their stuff on “civilians”.
Utterly ridiculous un-laws enforced by the new-fangled militarized police. What could go wrong?
It’s time to drop the words “law abiding” and adopt the more correct “peacable” citizen terminology.

From what I have seen, cops get off on being able to dress up in military gear, kick in doors, and ransack private homes. For the mere suspicion of the possession of contraband. Who here really thinks they are going to turn down more opportunities to play brigand? Most will welcome it. Those who don’t will just be told that their target is a chi-mo, or drug dealer or whatever, and they will get right on board. Thrill junkies.

I know of only one bit of screed BS law that has ever been repealed… “Prohibition”.
As for the rest, “An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” –Norton v. Shelby County 118 U.S. 425, 426
In short, they can go pound sand with a spoon for all I care…

So – the behavior of one violent, one crazy felon, who is a prohibited possessor, and who is out on parole, equals the behavior of the NRA member living next door.
Same analogy has been advanced about women: Since they all have vaginas, put them all in jail because they are potential prostitutes. Sometime it’s better to stay silent and have people think you to be an idiot, instead of penning a piece that removes all doubt.
Silly fembot. Thoughts worth sharing should be written by those who are sentient.

Yeah, she wants white men’s guns taken away, and will have to depend on mostly white men with guns to do the taking away. The only reason that liberals exist is that their tears make excellent lubricant for firearms.

Andrea Grimes is senior political reporter for a website that offers “Reproductive & Sexual Health and Justice News, Analysis and Commentary”. And apparently this makes her an expert on gun control in America.
You have now entered the Twilight Zone.

I went to her site and hoped that she was joking . Unfortunately she is not. The far left are pure Fascists and the last bunch of Fascist were responsible for 50 million deaths.

I just looked up her bio. She “holds a master’s degree in cultural anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin” (that explains a lot). She’s white and married.
Boy, her old man must be a nutless wonder.

Uncle – “Boy, her old man must be a nutless wonder” – I laughed my ass off over that one. Pretty astute observation, IMO.
