It's about control.
Gun crime, gun violence is a mental illness needing extensive government intervention and caring. Why would felons get a vote otherwise? Their nanny is a good guy.
If you see something fishy, call the authorities.
If someone is accosting you, call the police.
If you felt threatened, you should have called the authorities rather than taken care of the situation yourself, now Mr......., you get to spend some time in the fed/state/county institution.
Zero tolerance at schools. Can't point a finger, it may be loaded. No gun related t-shirts, hats etc as it may cause violence, or encourage one to act aggressively.
Zero tolerance at airports, including heroism.
Zero tolerance in regards to smoking in or near public areas. It's nannies everywhere.
Teacher, teacher, you forgot to give us homework.
The zero tolerance mentality is made up of weak knee types, unable to make an independent decision as to the intent of an individuals actions. Therefore we must arrest and let the authorities deal with the miscreant. Unfortunately these weak minded types seem to be getting all the press and encouragement. Hailed as saviors of our schools, neighborhood, city, and country by those in charge of distributing the public monies.
The violence these people are afraid of, I think is a self fulling prophecy, as the individual gets frustrated by all the "goodie-goodie" crap and blows up or goes postal. They get in your face and tell you what is wrong with you and pre suppose a cure. Or assume they know what's best for you, the individual, and condescendingly say so.
They are everywhere and are willing to "pile on" as soon as you make one of them uncomfortable. All that requires is a small challenge to their perceived authority like "I don't understand, does that make sense to you?" they have no answer.
Hate crime is another category developed to further enhance the state's powers to control. Crime is already a crime, no adjective is going to make it moreso, including the word "gun", it's merely a category for data collection.
Another category needing more money, studies, a staff and special agents to compile stats and investigate for congress to codify.
The charade of gun removal is purely feel good stuff for those not able to think things out to a reasonable conclusion. It's a money game for the politicians. Whoever is in office, has the money. Not their own but other people's money in the form of tax dollars.
Personal responsibility must be done away with and complete control given over to the state. Accountibiltiy for ones actions is only useful for transgressions against the state.
You will be assimilated, resistance is futile.
In the future all the good guys will wear RFID's.
Those without will cease to matter.
