No, Gov. Kasich, You Need to Find Common Ground with Us

2116
 

Here’s the “common ground” I am willing to agree on, Gov. Kasich.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

So unless you’re willing to tell me what existing laws you’re willing to loosen, relax, or eliminate altogether, all you’re trying to do, Governor, is move the ball in your direction at the expense of my constitutional rights.

Not. Happening.

Don’t expect me or my fellow gun owners to make sacrifices in our legal rights unless you’re willing to make a sacrifice yourself. We’re tired of being talked down to and lied to. We know that any solution you provide won’t solve crime because criminals have an annoying habit of disobeying the law.

That’s why they’re called “criminals.” To borrow from the late, great Col. Jeff Cooper:

“The media insist that crime is the major concern of the American public today. In this connection they generally push the point that a disarmed society would be a crime-free society. They will not accept the truth that if you take all the guns off the street you still will have a crime problem, whereas if you take the criminals off the street you cannot have a gun problem.”

Work on the motive and opportunity of how crime happens, then work on the means. Means are flexible, means are adaptable, but without motive and opportunity, even the most destructive car bomb is just a truck hauling some fertilizer.

    I think Trump still has him beat in this department.
