Why Liberals and Non-Gun Owners Don't Get It

For about the fourth or fifth time in as many years I've been sent a message from one of my e-friends about the "Lazy Glock". In reading it for the fourth or fifth time, it suddenly dawned on me why it might be that liberals and non-gun owners focus on the defense tool, and not the operator of the tool. There must be a disconnect somewhere; that's obvious to most of us.

In today's mass use of cell phones to communicate so easily, we continuously hear about some dim-wit who gets in trouble on Twitter, SnapChat or whichever social media app they're using because they've not thought about how it's going out on the web to the world. And, boom, hyper-reaction ensues. In other words, they believe they're anonymous and can say things which they later regret.

And, the more I've been experiencing interaction - both in my classroom and in doing business - with millennials who've never learned that they must be accountable and responsible for their actions, the more I've come to realize that they fall back on shucking their responsibility off onto others, or the device, or tool they use, as the reason why they've gotten in "hot water" for having done something stupid which got them in trouble, or worse, like a conviction of some type.

So, my thinking is that they also pass off blame on the defense tool people use, and why they're so focused on doing everything they can to limit law abiding gun owners from using their weapons to protect themselves. 

Then too, liberals NEVER will blame their own kind for having the highest murder rate in the urban centers they control politically. Then too, the greater majority of those shootings are gang related and have no connection to defending one's life from a criminal. But then, that seems to go with the liberal mindset these days.

Perhaps my logic is faulty, but read the "Lazy Glock" first and think about where I coming from on this idea. 

You know, this one:

Today, I placed my Glock pistol on the table right next to my front door. I left its clip beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.
While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor's son across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the "stop" sign near the front of my house.
After about an hour, I checked on the gun and it was quietly sitting there, right where I had left it.  It had not moved itself outside.  It had not killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do that.  In fact, it had not even loaded itself.
Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the media, about how dangerous guns are and "How They" kill people. Either the media is wrong, or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.
The United States is 3rd in murders throughout the world. But if you take out just 5 'left-wing' cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, St Louis and New Orleans -- the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the ENTIRE world, for murders.
These 5 cities are controlled by Democrats. They also have the toughest gun control laws in the USA. It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data, right?
Well, I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat!
