Charles Grodin On Gun Control
Mr Grodin appeared on the Mike Huckabee Show today, and the first thing out of his mouth, is “I think we need to make it difficult for people to buy guns” he goes on to say “they release people out of a mental hospital and can buy a gun,….people get out of prison and they do not know where they are”.
Well Mr Grodin, it would seem that once again, knee jerking, anti 2nd amendment reactionaries are once again going to infringe upon the rights of the hard working, law abiding citizen. Every time gun laws are enacted, crime rates do not change very much. Criminals, and those who will endeavor to make money off of arms trafficking, will continue to do so.
It is the anniversary this week, of Columbine. Mr Grodin was asked if the boys had lived, what would be the proper adjudication. He goes on to say that, they were mentally ill, and that would be the place to start. Lets put them in a mental hospital, give them a nice room, and draw pretty pictures. This is a pretty delusional point of view. Columbine was a premeditated, well thought out, well planned attack, just as 9/11 was.
Further, Mr Grodin, is pushing NY State AG to push the Supreme Court to rule on why the Felony Murder Rule, which states that any person that partakes in certain felony crimes to include, Murder, Rape, Kidnapping, Burglary or Robbery, that results in death, weather intended or unintended during the commissioning of the crime, can be held culpable for the death and thus be sentenced up to life without parole.
….early on the morning of March 10, 2003, a hung over 20-year-old named Ryan Holle lent his car to his roommate, who then went out with others and committed a robbery and murder. At the time of the crime Ryan Holle was asleep in his bed. He is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole at the Wakulla Correctional Institution near Tallahassee, Fla. The prosecutor explained to the jury in 2004 “No car, no crime.” Mr. Holle had no criminal record. He had lent his car to his roommate countless times before….
Though I do not agree with the sentencing in this case, just think of all the cases where people knowingly assisted in a crime where death or rape resulted. I am sorry, but if you are there participating, you are just as guilty.
Many of these liberals will say this is a gross miscarriage of justice. I beg to differ, but if that is the case then the prison guards at the concentration camps are absolved. What is the difference? They were there but did not actually participate. Or the guards at prison camps where American servicemen in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam were treated brutally, cannot be held culpable because they did not actually partake in a crime against these American Service Members.
Where does the insanity stop? I hope we take logical steps instead of making liberal knee jerk reactions.
