Really?

As the gleeful blood-dancing of the left in pursuit of gun control continues (e.g., Clyburn - this is not about terror, it is about guns?  Jesus H. Christmas! Sympathizer, appeaser, collaborator.) comes an article on Huffington Post announces proudly that "UK Gun Laws ‘Saved Tube Knife Attack From Turning Into Orlando Style Massacre".

Not one to want to mock tragedy, but always wiling to follow someone else's example, how did those strict gun laws work out in Paris?

OK - for the however millionth time:  If this is true - that is, if Huffington Post really believe this and the UK actually thinks its policies prevent people getting firearms and using them, the notion that this can be applied to the US is foolish.  Fortunately for the UK, at least so far, it is an island nation, it shares no border across which illegals, drugs and weapons can flow fairly freely. If Australia can claim any benefit from its gun restriction policy (questionable) it too must acknowledge that it does not share land borders that are porous to a wide range of illegal transgressions.

Geography lesson - the US is not so fortunate and shares a couple of long land borders (even more so than France). One of those, as we already know, is simply a line on a map, easily crossed on a regular basis.  For years the US has tried (or at least said it wanted to) to stop illegals and drugs from coming into the US.  Attempts to interdict drug flow into the country from numerous outside sources have failed.  We also know, via Fast and Furious, that firearms can readily cross that border.  The point of that operation was to prove it and it did - in lethal fashion for some people.

I would ask if you really believe that we could stop the flow of illegal weapons into criminal and terrorist hands, that somehow what has befallen other western nations who have restricted gun ownership, it will never happen here.  Problem is, once the rights are lost, the nation is lost, and once the nation is lost, neither will return again.

Liberals and Huffington Post believe in unicorns, too.
