Democrats- “The Poor Can’t Be Trusted with Guns.”

By Clash Daily / 13 March 2013 / 11 comments

Can poor people be trusted with guns? Overwhelmingly, Republicans thinks so. But while Democrats fight against taxes on the poor and oppose voter photo IDs because they impose too much of burden, they seem to be doing everything possible – from fees, expensive training requirements, and photo IDs – to make it next to impossible for the poor to own guns.

Indeed, legislation in at least 17 states around the country is aimed specifically at making it more costly to own a gun. Democrats are voting in mass against exempting the poor from fees when it comes to guns. New Yorkers aren’t alone facing everything from registration fees to buying liability insurance.

That’s too bad, because many law-abiding citizens, particularly minorities in crime-ridden neighborhoods really do need a gun for self-defense. There is little doubt that the people who are most likely to be victims of violent crime – again, overwhelmingly poor blacks in urban areas – are also the ones who benefit the most from owning guns. Research, including my own, has demonstrated this.

Apparently, Democrats believe that the right to self-defense is something that only belongs to the wealthy.

While police are the single most important factor in reducing crime, the police themselves recognize that they almost always arrive at the crime scene after the crime has been committed. But criminals are deterred by the possibility that victims have guns. And if indeed a criminal does strike, threatening to shoot is the safest course of action, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey

But Democrats seem to think that waiting for police to arrive from a 911 call is good enough for the poor.

They don’t want them to own guns because the poor are gonna wise up and realize they have been used by the Dems, and turn on them….

  You are right.

A lot of gun owners at least in rural areas are poor.

  I don’t think that rural people are the poor gun owners as much as those inner city folks who use the guns they get illegally in order to commit crime at the rate of rabbits breeding. Getto blacks and the people who are here with out legal right have access to guns any time they steal them. Most rural folks have either bought ( legally) the gun they have or they inherited them from family who also paid dearly for them. Right now in this point in time we have a country that has people with the mind set that it should be a Federal Offense to purchase or sell a 36 ounce bottle of soda pop, when they have access to guns, and weapons of mass destruction on nearly every street corner of the Metro City’s. A country in which it is easy to get nearly any kind of illegal drug on nearly every street corner and to buy a bong in some store on every third or forth corner of every city. But the Democrats think guns are the problem. That’s because this president and his allies who paid to put his sorry ass in the White House want to disarm America. The idiot women who support Him would run over their own Mothers if the left said do it. That is far more dangerous than any gun or anyone with one.

The premise is incorrect – Democrats don’t think ANYONE should be allowed to own guns (criminals excepted).

  Abn. And the politicians think they should be protected by guns.

They ( democrats ) really could not care less about the poor , it is ALL about their agenda to disarm all Americans . All Americans , except themselves or their ” security ” .

  As Pres Obama has hidden his birth records showing only a fake document, HE should be disarmed (of the Presidency), and Armed with a Penitentiary Jump Suit!

Poor people should not have the right to vote if they don’t have the right to own a gun.

Progressive,liberals and demotards should not have guns or sharp objects for that matter.

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
