The Truth About Politicians Who Advocate For Gun Control
Many people make a fundamental mistake about politicians. They believe politicians want to solve our problems. They are mistaken. Politicians do not care about solving your problems or my problems. They are only interested in solving their own problems. Their biggest problem is, "How do I get elected?" Their second biggest problem is, "How do I get re-elected?"
Whatever concern of theirs that comes in after that lags far, far behind the first two.
As such, politicians are nothing more than professional leeches whose every public statement and utterance revolves around one main concern: Is what I am about to say going to garner me votes, or will it cost me votes? Thus they always choose what they say based on that calculation.
So when you hear a politician say he's in favor of some sort of "gun control", that means he feels that the majority of his constituents favor that position, and that if he then advocates for it, it will make him more popular and increase his electoral viability. To put it another way, he feels he'll get more votes if he comes out in favor of it.
The ONLY other reason a politician will advocate for gun control is a far more nefarious and sinister one: He doesn't really believe in the 2nd Amendment at all and thinks the American people should be disarmed. He can't come right out and say this (at least not yet), so you'll hear things like "common sense gun control" and "how many more people must die before we act?", but this individual really just wants us completely disarmed.
He wants that because he is an autocrat who believes in an enormous, centralized government that controls every aspect of our lives (or at least every aspect that is important to them, of which our safety and security certainly isn't), and he understands that a disarmed populace is obviously much, much easier to dominate and control than an armed one.
This person doesn't give a damn about saving lives, and that's not at all why he wants our guns. The only life he might ever have cared about saving was one that might vote for him. Beyond that he doesn't care at all. It's all about power and control and forcing us to bend to their will.
And that's so much easier when none of us has any guns.
