During his four tours overseas, United States Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s kill record was so effective that insurgents put a $80,000 bounty on his head. Named by the terrorists in Iraq as the “The Devil of Ramadi” with 225 confirmed kills, the deadliest sniper in U.S. history is regarded as a hero to most red-blooded patriotic Americans.
As the deadliest sniper ever in recorded history, the anti-gun
military-hating left-wing nut-jobs naturally wouldn’t be Kyle’s biggest
fan. But one anti-gun group has taken their hatred to a new low, even
for them, by targeting the now deceased Kyle, whose story is told in
Clint Eastwood’s new film, American Sniper. The Washington Examiner reported that Washington-based anti-gun group Coalition To Stop Gun Violence
(CSGV) had “given critics of the upcoming movie a Facebook outlet to
rant about the subject of the movie,” where page followers then took the
opportunity to take cheap shots regarding the death of the American
Soldier after a post was made about the film.
While the hatred spewing from the predominantly anti-gun left comes
as no big surprise, it is still somewhat amazing that they could
completely miss the point that Kyle was killing terrorists in order to
protect our troops and keep our country safe. Do they really think that
their agenda of gun control and taking guns from all Americans should
extend to our soldiers fighting overseas?
Are these anti-gun loons so out of touch with reality that they truly
believe that all of the world’s problems would be solved if no one had
guns? Do they truly believe that the bad guys are just going to lay down
their weapons simply because we ask them to?
The problem is not the gun, it is the person holding it. A person who
refuses to follow laws is a criminal, and creating more laws to control
guns will not change the criminal, since they don’t follow the laws
anyway. The only way that we can successfully stop gun violence is to
stop the bad guys and criminals who have them, and the best way to do
that is with an armed and educated populace. The answer to gun violence
is most certainly not taking away the guns of those that would put their
lives on the line for the sake of our freedom.
