Re: Support Freedom Gunworks
School is out for a few more weeks. I have lots of time...
Lou,
I do not defend myself, but I do defend others when they are attacked witlessly and with malice brought from unthinking feelings. Your email has been posted on Facebook, and within several shooting forums allowing thousands to receive it and send you comments regarding your thoughtless and malicious attack on Freedom Gunworks. If you would look realistically at the problems we have, and the historic issues they hold, you would notice that throughout history, and as recent as the 1700's, people have done things such as this, causing mayhem with whatever they could find. Be that knives, pitchforks, swords, or firearms, even hammers, they have acted maliciously to kill others in the same type of act. These acts, throughout history, have grown exponentially with population growth and happen regardless of which party is in power. Blaming tools comes from the lack of properly thinking about the issue and it's premises.
Your inability to write anything without using pure propaganda technique gives your premises unsound and invalid emptiness. I have provided you with a little reading so that you may at least form premises with substance. I hope you are able to take the time to answer each email you receive with as much thought as you have mine. Please take the time to read and understand the basic rules of Propaganda. Once you do, you might be able to form a substantive premise based issue argument, and not one malformed by Appeal to Emotion.
Best Regards,
Redline

Guns are instruments of death and destruction and I will work as hard as I know how to try and get them banned from our country. You can make excuses, throw out meaningless statistics but at night I hope you dream of little first graders being shot to death by the obscene guns you chose to sell to the public. When you touch your guns I hope the smell of the innocent blood of those babies is so overwhelming you turn away in disgust. I know what is true and so do you. That is why you are trying to defend yourself. Let the screams of those babies dying from gunshot wounds be the only sound you hear. Let the anguish of the moms and dads who lost their little angels be the only emotion you feel. Stop selling your killing machines and urge others to the same and maybe you can find peace.

Freedom Gunworks...
Lou and Skip,
If you have noticed, since Clinton banned so called assault weapons, there were over 30 such incidents during his term alone. Many times these incidents also found that the individual was not in their total capacities, after all, does a rational individual do things like this? Thought not, so we agree on that point. Now lets take an objective look, a scientific look at firearms in general. Firearms are inanimate objects. They do absolutely nothing except sit in one place until someone picks them up. The firearm still does nothing unless that individual uses the proper steps to insure the firearm works as it is supposed to. You see, firearms are void of spirit, or any type of human behavior. Words such as evil just do not work with them as they are neither good nor evil, they just are.
You also fail to see the fact that each individual in these cases has been exempt of their capacities as a rational human being. Some were due to drugs, some due to neurological drugs and many due to lack of proper care. You also fail to see that the system in place for purchasing a firearm asks several questions on lawfulness as well as mental status. If the system does not record mental health issues, how is the system supposed to keep these people from buying firearms?
You sent a message telling Freedom Gunworks to stop selling guns that kill babies. As you know, Freedom Gunworks sells firearms that are used by competitors, Policemen and women, SWAT teams, and many good people who serve and protect. Not one of their firearms has ever been used in a crime, imagine that! So you see, your misguidance is showing a high amount of ignorance by sending such a message to a very reputable individual and his company. You would do well to go visit that shop, learn about firearms, and maybe even go to a range to become proficient in the use of such things. Being a hoplophobe just does not suit one of class or grace, but then again, neither does ignorance.
Good Day
Redline
