Consistency isn’t their thing

Cam Edwards:

Have you noticed the cognitive dissonance that many supporters of common-sense gun control have been exhibiting as of late? Im not sure its possible to support more gun-control laws and oppose mass incarceration or excessive policing policies. How can someone argue that young men of color are overpoliced, while at the same time calling for more non-violent-offender gun laws to be placed on the books?

    My post there:

    The political left views new gun laws as being aimed at older white males who tend to be conservative and vote Republican. In other words, they’re aiming these laws at people who they hate and want to hurt, not to “reduce gun violence” – they don’t even expect that, but simply to express their vile animosity towards people who refuse to join in with their leftist groupthink. They don’t care about consequences; they just want to express their hate.

    I ain’t going to any camp.

    Chas beat me to it. There’s no dissonance, this is about punishing conservative white men. They’re the root cause of all violence, racism, sexism, etc., so they probably don’t even see gassing about “gun violence” as a lie.

    There is no inconsistency in how Democrats behave toward their constituents. Democrat policies since at least the 1960s demonstrate that Democrat authorities prefer citizens unarmed and at the mercy of the government.

    Poor Cam Edwards still hasn’t been able to see what’s been flaunted in his face for generations. He’s still allowing himself to be distracted by assertions while ignoring motivations. Let’s help out Cam and answer that specific question;

    Because now it’s our turn as white, capitalist men (the REAL perpetrators, worldwide, who are not only persecuting everyone else, creating all the poverty, but destroying the planet in the process) to feel what it’s like, for once, to be targeted for persecution and actually, seriously persecuted.

    So my question is; how can someone genuinely ask that question, genuinely not knowing the answer to it, this far along in the game?

    Or was it a purely rhetorical question on his part?

    We hear that the jihadists cannot be effectively opposed until we can first name them as an enemy. Apparently we have the same problem with the Progressives’ incremental revolution against Western Civilization and against the American founding principles in particular.

    Easy.

    The “mass incarceration” the protest is bad because it’s the wrong set of people being incarcerated (and less snarkily, a fair amount of it is for things that are stupid and shouldn’t be crimes, like the War on Drugs).

    “Mass incarceration for guns” is great because those bad gun people really deserve it if they don’t just give up their guns on demand.

    Because guns are evil unless in the hands of a bodyguard – or the right sort of cop, sometimes.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
