Another perspective on the nation’s debt and the ultimate consequences of mindless borrowing. The media will focus on gay marriage and gun control, but it won’t focus on the debt problem that will eventually bury all of us. Keep voting for Democrats and hope that money really does grow on trees!
Actually the total amount of what they don’t know about firearms and crime is enough to crush them.
Consider that, according to FBI data, in 2007, there were 453 homicides by rifle in the U.S. Yes, that’s too many. But compare that number to a few other methods of homicide employed that year.
In 2007, there were 1,817 homicides committed with “knives or cutting instruments”; “blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.)” killed 674; while “personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.)” were the choices in 869 homicides.
The number of rifle homicides has fallen steadily since then to 323 last year, as have the other three weapon classes, though each still remains a more common choice than the rifle.
In fact, when added together, knives, blunt instruments and the human body were responsible for more than nine times as many homicides as rifles in 2011.
Yet no one is asking why anyone would want to own a set of steak knives, place a heavy candelabra on their mantle or have a hammer in their garage.
Hollywood hypocrisy is nothing new. The video simply demonstrates that these people have no problem glorifying violence when there’s a buck to be made. George Will sums it up:
Barry likes to make us think that the rich are at fault. Higher taxes on the rich will bring prosperity according to Mr. Obama’s innovative methods. Nevertheless, most people have no conception of the trillion dollar deficits that Barry has managed to create while he gives no honest answers on how this money will be paid back. What does a trillion dollars look like? How can anyone justify such spending? I was mad about W’s spending, but Barry makes George look thrifty! Anyway, the video above puts this spending in perspective and blows a huge hole in Obama’s “strategy” regarding the economy, tax policy, and getting this nation back on track. If you get a chance to watch the movie “2016,” then you probably will consider the reality that Barry really wants America to stay off track, plunge the nation into a sea of red ink (we are already there), and never recover. How else can you explain Obama’s policies?
