A friend recently visited Burma and among the presents he returned with were some hand rolled cigars and a wooden pistol designed to fire rubber bands. He gave me both.
You may not have noticed that the federal regulators have decided on a consistent basis to make life miserable for poor people. Second-hand stores cannot sell toys without meeting very stringent and intolerable guidelines. So they don’t have them anymore. Clearly this affects the poor disproportionately.
So I can’t give the rubber-band gun to a second-hand store.
My friend assumed that I had some friends with children who would be happy with the wooden rubber band hand gun. Wrong.
I live in a society of Lefty ideological fanatics. They hate guns, they are obsessive in their hatred of guns. They’re wildly irrational on the issue of guns.
I speculate on why they can hate guns. They are determined to pass laws to make it impossible for any legally observant person to own and operate a gun. Their anti-gun obsession seems to require severe laws governing guns which of course don't apply to the large illegal population of people who use guns on each other.
When someone is completely blind to a phenomenon or behavior you can assume that that phenomenon or behavior is something that is too disturbing for the person to deal with. People are blind to anything they find impossible to comprehend. Lefties falsely believe that keeping toy guns away from young boys will make them pacifists when they grow up. There is a blindness to gender differences and testosterone.
Here is my explanation for that blindness.
You will notice that over the past 30 years the press, the Lefty public and the Lefty politicians have gone completely berserk any time a white person shoots a black person. 97% of these cases turn out to be decided in favor of the white person in court. With no acknowledgement of the earlier error. There is no focus on young black men killing whites or regularly killing other blacks (including black bystanders).
This tells me that the focus on outrageously restrictive gun laws is really a focus away from the fact that we have a large young black illiterate-innumerate permanent underclass that is out killing each other and bystanders. It is they that are the problem, not their guns and not the guns of the rest of the population. But this reality is so dissonant to Lefties that they focus on guns rather than the permanent black criminal class.
Isn’t this the reason the Left is so obsessed about guns?
