Anti-gun Los Angeles Buyback Program 2012

The anti-gunners’ premise that less guns means less violent crimes is wrong. This has been proven through studies by researchers like John Lott Jr, and Gary Kleck. They know this so it is imperative for them to create a systematic strategy of anti-gun propaganda in order for them to sell their agenda to the people.

This Mother’s Day Weekend, the City Of Los Angeles will once again conduct their annual “gun buyback” program. Gift cards will be given in exchange for guns, no questions asked. This is part of their anti-gun propaganda machine. The Los Angeles City Council and the LAPD are going to feed misinformation to the general public. They will state that by removing guns from the streets, our neighborhoods will be safer. Regardless of how many guns are collected this weekend, it will not make any positive impact on crime. The local news media is more than happy to spread this anti-gun propaganda for them. The news media will chastise and mock anyone that protests the buyback programs.

As expected, a number of local news agencies have posted articles regarding the gun buyback program on their websites. Please take a moment and voice your objections to the use of public and private funds to conduct these gun buyback programs. You can write your opinion in the "comments" section at the bottom of this article. Let the public know that the actions of Mayor Villaraigosa, the L.A. City Council, and the LAPD are hazardous to the safety of the public and irresponsible and to the funds of the city. Write your comments once in a document and then cut and paste in into each of these articles.

Talking point: Twenty years ago, the 1992 Los Angeles Riots clearly demonstrated that the LAPD and the City Council could not protect the law abiding residents of Los Angeles from rioters. Over fifty people were killed in those riots because the call to the police went unanswered. But people to understood their Right to defend themselves did not fall victim to the riot and looting. You will note from this video that one of the businesses that was left unprotected was looted and destroyed by rioters. The second half of the video shows armed business owners protecting their storefront. Notice the extreme contrast between the two. The store that was protected was quiet and peaceful while just down the block, the rioters victimized other businesses. Stunning.

Los Angeles Riots 1992: No Compassion. No Mercy.

A couple of weeks ago, a news video of two dogs laying in the middle of a busy street captured the hearts and humanity of an entire nation.  We saw how a dog refused to leave the side of her fallen companion after it was struck and killed by a car.  A nation felt compassion and empathy for these two dogs.  But you cannot depend on that compassion to exist if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.  You could find yourself surrounded by real world monsters.

Twenty years ago this week, during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, Reginald Denny was nearly beaten to death by a mob of rioters.  It was amazing that he did not die in the beating.  It was a savage act that was broadcasted all over the world.  If you vacationed abroad in the weeks after the riots and people found out you were from Los Angeles, they would have told you that they too watched the horror unravel.  Watch the video and you will see unsympathetic rage against an innocent man.  Again, we ask, where was the police?  Where was the Los Angeles City Council?  Someone was being killed on camera by a mob of savage rioters!

Denny lived.  Over fifty other victims were less fortunate.  No one protected them.  They had to protect themselves, but they learned that lesson too late.  It cost them their lives.

Los Angles Riots 1992: Know Your Rights

This week marks the 20 year anniversary of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots.  The riots lasted for 5 days.  The nation and the world saw one of the largest cities in the United States fall into anarchy and chaos.  There was no law enforcement or government to protect us because the scale of lawlessness expanded beyond their capability to provide services.  Law abiding citizens in and near the riot area were caught in the crossfire.  Over fifty people lost their lives.

It was an instant wake up call for many Los Angeles residents.  Even those that were ardently anti-gun found themselves in their local gun store to purchase their first firearm only to be told by the staff that there was a 15 day waiting period.  Too long of a wait if you are going to be a victim.

Those that prepared ahead had their weapons ready.  They had their weapons ready because they chose to live in the United States of America where law abiding private citizens are allowed to purchase and possess firearms to defend themselves.  In the most poetic irony, it was the immigrant Korean community that understood this the best.  They understood their Constitutional Right better than most Los Angeles residents.  That is why the pictures of Korean shop owners with firearms defending lives and protecting their businesses became iconic.  Lest we forgot, they were there to remind us.
