Clinton Must Like Guns

This article was published Tuesday August 31, 1999 on WorldNetDaily© by Jon E. Dougherty who is one of their contributing editors. This is a notable article because it exposes the lies being pushed by the suck-up, kneepad media. "Kneepad Media" refers to the sex act Monica Lewinsky did to please her lover Billy "the Rapist" Clinton. The kneepad media act the same way Monica did. Crazy Clinton the Gun Grabber loves to manipulate congress into passing gun laws. But the fact is that the all important enforcement of the existing gun laws is stupidly not being done. So innocent people die because felons get and use guns that otherwise would have gotten caught and put away. Trust me, the criminals know this too.

The results are in: The Clinton administration, for all its anti-gun blustering, must really like them, if gun prosecution case figures are any indication.

According to a recent report, gun prosecutions have fallen 44 percent since 1992. A new study done by Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University said that of the declining number of cases referred to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF), most "involve alleged weapons violations," which appears to indicate that opponents of more gun control are right-the federal government doesn't need new and more restrictive laws, it simply needs to enforce those it has. Even more indicative, the study showed, is that the BATF also has fewer investigative personnel than in 1992. So even if they wanted to investigate more cases, they couldn't. Neat, huh?

You didn't really think Bill Clinton-suddenly developed a "liking" for the Second Amendment, did you? Of course not-and this tactic doesn't fool everyone, either.

Consider that less enforcement of existing laws ordinarily translates into fewer convictions and, most probably, more offenses being committed with firearms because the laws serve no deterrent purpose. Naturally, for arrogant socialists like Clinton, more gun crime or, more correctly, any gun crime, would seem to point to the need for more gun control, right?

Wrong-but remember we've talking about the Clinton Era of Government. Even GOP presidential frontrunner George W. Bush has said he favors more gun control.

Hence the tactic. Using the warped and sick logic of Washington, D.C., more gun crimes are nessary in order to justify more gun control, with the eventual goal being the outright bvanning of firearms, period.

And this can't happen if the government actually enforces the laws already on the books.
