"We don’t need any more restrictions on our society.”

Those were the words of John Green, father of nine-year-old Christina Green, who was killed last Saturday by Jared Loughner in Tucson.

Unfortunately for him and for America, liberal politicians are not listening. Carolyn McCarthy (Socialist-NY) and Frank Lautenburg (Socialist-NJ) are both planning to introduce gun control bills.

Lautenburg, who was probably born sometime in the late Jurassic period, wanders the halls of congress, like some zombie from the night of the living dead, seeking to do whatever mayhem he can on the United States Constitution and the rights of the American people.

McCarthy has made her living as a politician based on the death of her husband. In 1993, her husband and son were riding a commuter train in New York, when a lunatic pulled out a gun and started shooting. New York has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country and because of that, none of the passengers on the train were armed.

Someone needs to tell Carolyn McCarthy, had her husband been armed that day, he might have had a chance. Had someone else on that train been armed, her husband might be alive today. Instead, she wants to rip the Constitution apart and strip Americans of their right to self-defense.

Most rational people understand the need to protect themselves. Not liberals.

Liberals use tragedies like this to erode our rights. Rahm Emanuel is famous for his warning, “never let a good crisis go to waste.”

While the left will go into overdrive blaming guns and calling for more restrictions on Americans’ rights to carry weapons, there is one story that I bet will not be talked about during this debate.

In December 2007, a lunatic named Matthew Murray went to a church in Arvada, Colorado and killed two people. Matthew Murray then went to another church in Colorado Springs to kill more.

The difference?

In Colorado Springs, some of the parishioners were armed. One of them, a lady named Jeanne Assam saw him come through the door and begin shooting. She drew her weapon, engaged him and killed him. According to people on the scene that day, she saved between fifty and one hundred lives. Were we living in the world that Frank Lautenburg and Carolyn McCarthy want us to live in, the people at the church in Colorado Springs would have been as defenseless has Carolyn McCarthy’s husband was in 1993 and ended up just as dead.

In the next few days, we will have the funerals for the dead in Tucson. Gabrielle Giffords will continue to recover and hopefully one-day return to a normal life. But we cannot allow liberals to use this tragedy to try and continue to strip our rights.
