LET'S ALL SURRENDER OUR WEAPONS -- YOU FIRST!
by Ann Coulter
April 8, 2009

The rash of recent shooting incidents has led people who wouldn't know an AK-47 from a paintball gun to issue demands for more restrictions on guns. To be sure, it's hard to find any factor in these shootings that could be responsible -- other than the gun.

So far, this year's public multiple shootings were committed by:

-- Richard Poplawski, 23, product of a broken family, expelled from high school and dishonorably discharged from the Marines, who killed three policemen in Pittsburgh.

-- Former crack addict Jiverly Wong, 41, who told co-workers "America sucks" yet somehow was not offered a job as a speechwriter for Barack Obama. Wong blockaded his victims in a civic center in Binghamton, N.Y., and shot as many people as he could, before killing himself.

-- Robert Stewart, 45, a three-time divorcee and high school dropout with "violent tendencies" -- according to one of his ex-wives -- who shot up the nursing home in Carthage, N.C., where his newly estranged wife worked.

-- Lovelle Mixon, 26, a paroled felon, struggling to get his life back on track by pimping, who shot four cops in Oakland, Calif. -- before eventually being shot himself.

-- Twenty-eight-year-old Michael McLendon, child of divorce, living with his mother and boycotting family funerals because he hated his relatives, who killed 10 of those relatives and their neighbors in Samson, Ala.

It might make more sense to outlaw men than guns. Or divorce. Or crack. Or to prohibit felons from having guns. Except we already outlaw crack and felons owning guns and yet still, somehow, Wong got crack and Mixon got a gun.

After being pulled over for a routine traffic violation, Lovelle Mixon did exactly what they teach in driver's ed by immediately shooting four cops. Mixon's supporters held a posthumous rally in his honor, claiming he shot the cops only in "self-defense," which I take it includes the cop Mixon shot while the officer was lying on the ground.

I guess Mixon also raped that 12-year-old girl in "self-defense." Clearly, the pimping industry has lost a good man. I wish I'd known him. I tip my green velvet fedora with the dollar signs all over it to him. Why do the good ones always die young? Pimps, I mean.

Liberals tolerate rallies on behalf of cop-killers, but they prohibit law-abiding citizens working at community centers in Binghamton, N.Y., from being armed to defend themselves from disturbed, crack-addicted America-haters like Jiverly Wong.

It's something in liberals' DNA: They think they can pass a law eliminating guns and nuclear weapons, but teenagers having sex is completely beyond our control.

The demand for more gun control in response to any crime involving a gun is exactly like Obama's response to North Korea's openly belligerent act of launching a long-range missile this week: Obama leapt to action by calling for worldwide nuclear disarmament.

If the SAT test were used to determine how stupid a liberal is, one question would be: "The best defense against lawless rogues who possess _______ is for law-abiding individuals to surrender their own _______________."

Correct answer: Guns. We would also have accepted nuclear weapons.

Obama explained that "the United States has a moral responsibility" to lead disarmament efforts because America is "the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon."

So don't go feeling all morally superior to a country whose business model consists of exporting heroin, nuclear bombs and counterfeit U.S. dollars, and of importing Swedish prostitutes, you yahoo Americans with your little flag lapel pins.

On the other hand, the Japanese haven't acted up much in the last, say, 64 years ...

Fortunately, our sailors didn't wait around for Obama to save them when Somali pirates boarded their ship this week. Stop right now or I'll ask the U.N. to remind the "international community" that "the U.S. is not at war with Somali pirates."

Gun-toting Americans are clearly more self-sufficient than the sissy Europeans. This is great news for everyone except Barney Frank, who's always secretly wondered what it would be like to be taken by a Somali pirate.

Police -- whom I gather liberals intend to continue having guns -- and intrepid U.N. resolution drafters can't be everywhere, all the time.

If a single civilian in that Binghamton community center had been armed, instead of 14 dead, there might have only been one or two -- including the shooter. In the end, the cops didn't stop Wong. His killing spree ended only when he decided to stop, and he killed himself.

"The shooter will eventually run out of ammo" strategy may not be the best one for stopping deranged multiple murderers.

But it's highly unlikely that any community center in the entire state would be safe from a disturbed former crack-addict like Wong because New York's restrictive gun laws require a citizen to prove he has a need for a gun to obtain a concealed carry permit.

Instead of having Planned Parenthood distribute condoms in schools, they ought to get the NRA to pass out revolvers. It would save more lives.

This is all the more reason for gun ownership and shooting lessons to be mandatory in the US.

Karnack predicts that the messenger will be attacked rather than the message.

So are you claiming that all these statistics that point in the other direction are false?

How come America has a pathetically high homicide rate, and an exceptionally high homicide by firearm rate.

Living conditions? General happiness? Most likely, however one has to look at the abundance of firearms aswell.

One cannot disregard statistics.

guys,
for those of you who don't know Ann Coulter is a maniac.
This lady is nuts.

The reason people go around and kill people is because there life sucks. It has nothing to do with drug abuse, divorce, or whatever else.
It is the ENTIRE SYSTEM that is fucked up.
I own guns, in fact, I own an AK-47. I bought it quite legaly second hand from an ad in the paper. There was no backround check, I was not required to register this gun in any way, there was absolutley no restriction in any way.
It is semi-auto, and has a 40 round capacity.
My point is that as fucked up as this planet is, with starvation, job loss, house losss, etc. etc. people are prone to snapping and feeling desperate.
Maybe having legal access to firearms, (any kind of firearm) with zero waiting perios is not the best idea.
We all love our guns, I live up north with some land and it is fun as hell to open up with that gun. But, maybe it's not the greatest idea.
Anyone is a potential lunatic given the coditions we are forced to live in.

I reccomend a book, Ishmael, or "The Story of B". It is a philisophical book about the world, a great read, not boring.

and yes, I have used this ak-47 for deer hunting.

Gun Control is the ability of making each shot count. 1 shot, 1 kill.

Hmm, Karnack didn't have to wait very long.

All I can say is the massive gun control in Canada has made the price of handguns go outrageously high, i'm talking 500 - 1100 for a standard issue LEO gun (most common sold in my area).

I know most people, that sell/grow drugs, who want a gun for protection, cannot simple aquire one here, it's almost impossible. Even if you had money to spend on a gun, finding one is extremely hard. Gun control keeps guns out of the hands of criminals. Simple as that.

I mean if you're connected then you're connected, if you're not.. Then get good with the buckshot.
