Comments on: California’s mandated background checks had no impact on gun deaths https://www.isegoria.net/2020/01/californias-mandated-background-checks-had-no-impact-on-gun-deaths/ From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small Thu, 28 May 2026 23:08:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Kirk https://www.isegoria.net/2020/01/californias-mandated-background-checks-had-no-impact-on-gun-deaths/comment-page-1/#comment-3026759 Kirk Wed, 08 Jan 2020 20:20:29 +0000 https://www.isegoria.net/?p=45981#comment-3026759 First truism: None of the victim disarmament initiatives work.

Second truism: None of the proponents thereof are at all honest about their intent, which is not to reduce crime, but rather to enable it.

Third truism: Despite ample evidence for both the first and second truism, none of the ideologues will ever acknowledge those facts.

Anyone who wants you to give up your arms does not have your best interests at heart. Much like declawing a cat, the effect on the subjects of such policies is not to their benefit; it merely enables the powerful to run roughshod over them, and enables the extermination of troublesome minorities. It was ever so, and will ever be so. Someone demands that you disarm, you may as well die fighting, because that’s eventually where turning in your arms will lead. Maybe not you, maybe not even your children, but certainly your grandchildren will suffer the consequences.
