Donald Trump – More Guns Would Have Been the Answer in Paris – Video

The ironic thing is, the terrorists use of guns caused the most carnage in Paris last weekend, but according to Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, more guns on the scene would have been the answer. It’s the usual Republican answer – More guns is the answer to everything.

Speaking to CNN on Saturday, Trump said;

“When you look at Paris — you know the toughest gun laws in the world, Paris — nobody had guns but the bad guys. Nobody had guns. Nobody. They were just shooting them one by one and then they (security forces) broke in and had a big shootout and ultimately killed the terrorists.

“You can say what you want, but if they had guns, if our people had guns, if they were allowed to carry, it would’ve been a much, much different situation.”

Then on Monday at a rally in Knoxville, Tennessee, Trump doubled down on the favorite NRA talking point;

“You have the horrible attack. And by the way, Paris is one of the places in the world that’s toughest on guns… If 20 of those people — you don’t need more, but could’ve been more, could’ve been all of them. But if 20 of those people that were shot, viciously — and if you heard the stories, ‘Come on over, boom, come on over, boom, come here, boom,” one after another after another, hundreds of people, plenty are dying and will be dead. Now, if you had 25 people in there that had guns, okay? It would have been a totally different story, folks. There would have been the shootout at the O.K. Corral.”

Rick Perry – More Guns in Movie Theaters Will Stop Shootings in Movie Theaters – Video

It’s the usual argument from these NRA gun-loving Republicans. Adding more guns to the equation will result in less gun violence. They said it when there was a mass shooting in a Colorado movie theater, they said it when there was a mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut, they said it when there was a mass shooting at a church in South Carolina and now that there’s yet another shooting at another theater in Louisiana, they’re calling for more guns again!

On Sunday, one of the Republican’s professional presidential candidate Rick Perry, went on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday and proclaimed their usual mantra – if there were more people with guns in the movie theater in Lafayette Louisiana, then the mentally deranged man who opened fire last week killing two movie goers and then killing himself, would have never happened.

“I think that it makes a lot of sense to send a message across this country,” Perry said. “If we believe in the Second Amendment, and we believe in people’s right to protect themselves and defend themselves, and their families.”

He added,

“I believe that, with all my heart, that if you have the citizens who are well trained, and particularly in these places that are considered to be gun-free zones, that we can stop that type of activity, or stop it before there’s as many people that are impacted as what we saw in Lafayette.”

Meanwhile, the Republican governor in the state where the last shooting occurred, Bobby Jindal, refused to admit that guns or the lack of adequate gun laws could have contributed to the last shooting in his state. “There will be an absolute appropriate time for us to talk about policies and politics,” Jindal says, as he secures the approval of the NRA in his quest to become president.

NRA say “More Guns” will Stop Crime – Meanwhile, Customers at Gun Ranges Robbed at Gunpoint

Wayne LaPierre

According to NRA’s Wayne LaPierre, more guns is the answer to all the shootings and gun crimes in this country.  LaPierre will have you believe that criminals only attack places where there is a “no guns” policy in effect.

Well this story just put a bullet right in the heart of that theory – robberies at Gun ranges.

Officials say two suspects – Poteet and Chandler – were involved in two holdups at two different gun ranges — the first at Yury’s Gun Range in Philly’s West Poplar neighborhood and the second at the Delaware Valley Sports Center in the city’s Bustleton neighborhood.

The suspects waited in a parked car, a late model dark colored 2-door coupe, outside of the ranges until potential victims exited.

They robbed a 68-year-old man at gunpoint outside Yury’s at 544 N. Percy St. around 6:40 p.m. June 11, emptying the victim’s pockets and taking off with his backpack, which contained two .22 caliber handguns, according to authorities.

The following day, the pair went to Delaware Valley Sports Center at 101 Geiger Road and pulled off the same heist on an unsuspecting 67-year-old man, who was leaving the range with a friend around 8:40 p.m., according to police.

Officials say they demanded the two men hand over their cash and guns. Even though the victims were cooperating, Chandler fired a shot, striking the 67-year-old and critically wounding him, according to authorities.

Wayne LaPierre Urges Americans To “Buy More Guns Than Ever!”

If you are still wondering why Wayne LaPierre – the Executive Vice President of the NRA – is so anti gun regulation and you simply cannot figure out what his issues are, well let me help. Wayne LaPierre is not looking out for your best interest, he is looking out for the best interest of the gun industry and any sensible regulation will impede on the industry’s bottom line – Profits!

You still don’t get it, huh? You think I’m just making this up? Well let me step aside and allow Mr. LaPierre himself explain his true motive against any form of regulations.

In a rambling op ed on The Daily Caller, LaPierre points out the many situations where more guns is, in his view, apparent.

  • Latin American drug gangs have invaded every city of significant size in the United States. Phoenix is already one of the kidnapping capitals of the world, and though the states on the U.S./Mexico border may be the first places in the nation to suffer from cartel violence, by no means are they the last.
  • After Hurricane Sandy, we saw the hellish world that the gun prohibitionists see as their utopia. Looters ran wild in south Brooklyn. There was no food, water or electricity. And if you wanted to walk several miles to get supplies, you better get back before dark, or you might not get home at all.
  • Nobody knows if or when the fiscal collapse will come, but if the country is broke, there likely won’t be enough money to pay for police protection. And the American people know it.
  • Ominously, the border also remains open to agents of al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations. Numerous intelligence sources have confirmed that foreign terrorists have identified the southern U.S. border as their path of entry into the country.When the next terrorist attack comes, the Obama administration won’t accept responsibility. Instead, it will do what it does every time: blame a scapegoat and count on Obama’s “mainstream” media enablers to go along.

He concludes with this bit of information – the real reason for his very existence!

We will not surrender. We will not appease. We will buy more guns than ever. We will use them for sport and lawful self-defense more than ever. We will grow the NRA more than ever. And we will be prouder than ever to be freedom-loving NRA patriots. And with your help, we will ensure that the Second Amendment remains America’s First Freedom.
