Is Support For Anti-gun Organizations Falling?
If a recent X post by Giffords is an indicator, the answer is yes.
For people who understand guns and their involvement in crime, it has been a long understood fact that anti-gun organizations are completely full of crap. It has been a long fight, but it looks like the general public is starting to understand that too.
Two days ago, Giffords made up a bunch of BS about suppressors and posted it over on X.
I don’t think it went like they hoped it would.
People are clearly catching on that Giffords and the other gun grabbers just make crap up, because after about 15 hours and 53,100+ people viewed their post, only 9 people were gullible enough to believe it and like the post. Nine. Let me say that again, 9 people...
That is an extremely impressive lack of likes. You would be hard pressed to find any post with that many views and so few likes.
As a retired cop, and a guy who owns several suppressors, nothing those morons said about suppressors is accurate. This is not the movies. Suppressors do not make guns silent, they just make them quieter than they are without one, sort of like a muffler on your car.
There is only one mass shooting that I know of where a suppressor was used, and in that incident, 12 people were killed by the suspect who was using a .45 caliber handgun.
Taken directly from an AP article about that incident, "But gun-rights advocates and MOST LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERTS (emphasis added) say ********* **********’s (I refuse to publish suspect's names) use of a suppressor likely had no bearing on his ability to kill so many people in so little time Friday."
The only LE expert who said otherwise was a former FBI agent who now works for.... you guessed it, Giffords.
But the reality is, the suspect went into a multi story, crowded office building and after going to three different floors, and encountering dozens, if not hundreds of unarmed, trapped people, he managed to kill only 12 people (not to remotely downplay the loss of life, but in that environment, the death toll could have been far higher).
The suppressor had nothing to do with the number of people he killed. The environment where people were trapped and could not easily flee had much more to do with it.
Giffords and the other anti-gun organizations have been making apocalyptic predictions about the mass deaths that will result if laws supporting the Second Amendment are enacted. Every single time, those predictions have fallen flat on their face. Not once has the jurisdiction passing a pro-gun law turned into the deadly wild west that the anti-gun crowd constantly say it will.
If the impressive lack of support that Giffords received on that post tells me anything, it is that the general public is finally starting to see through their lies.
The fact that every post Giffords makes on X has replies blocked tells you they know their support is dwindling, and that they are scared of the truth.
Those with facts on their side encourage discussion, those who lie hide from it.
