Not genocide. Just "freedom."

Not genocide. Just "freedom."

Ask yourselves about a National gun registry database and how that might be used and why it is so wanted by progressives. Read about the Rwandan genocide, the Hutu and Tutsi tribes. Read that all Tutsi tribe members were required to register their address with the Hutu government and that this database was used to locate Tutsi for slaughter at the hands of the Hutu. (Since the government had the names and addresses of nearly all Tutsis living in Rwanda (remember, each Rwandan had an identity card that labeled them Tutsi, Hutu, or Twa) the killers could go door to door, slaughtering the Tutsis. Not with firearms, mind you, but with machetes. I use this example to warn that national databases can be used with evil consequences.

Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) is against expanded background checks, magazine capacity regulation and pretty much any other gun safety measure you can think of. He has deep and probing thoughts on the matter that are not at all the insane, conspiratorial drivel of a stupid and paranoid mind Yeah, you've got us. The reason we want background checks and records on who's tried to buy a gun isn't because we're sick and tired of unstable and violent people buying their own personal arsenals and then going out to murder theater patrons or supermarket-goers or an entire fucking classroom full of elementary school kids just because they feel like it, but because we progressives are making a super-secret list of people and then we're coming to kill you all in your homes. Obviously. And obviously it's worth the 3,000-plus gun murders that have occurred between that last mentioned mast murder and today in order to prevent all the imaginary machete gangs that will crop up if Jeffery P. Childkiller has to reload slightly more often during his next killing spree or Buford T. Nutcase gets put on a special list saying hey, gun show sellers, you probably don't want to sell an assault rifle and several hundred rounds of ammunition to this guy because he just got out of jail for making terrorist threats and duh, you thumping morons.

We have databases of automobile owners, and databases of business owners, and databases of people who are allowed to dispense prescription drugs, but asking people at gun shows to not sell weapons to violent felons? No, that is the hill our freedumz will die on. Better to just let the unstable folks kill our moms and dads and uncles and cousins and kids so as to avoid the potential for future imaginary violence. Wouldn't want violence to break out.
