President Obama got it right!

President Obama got it right! At least, he got the context right. In his remarks on the Aurora shootings, he noted that his daughters attend movies, and asked, "What if Malia and Sasha had been in the theater tonight as so many kids do every day." That is a question that bears reflection.

In discussing the Aurora theater shootings, Michael Moore attempted to answer that question, "Mr.President, what if it were your children?" Now, of course, Moore draws the wrong conclusions, that if the President's children had been at the theater, the President would be calling for more restrictions on gun ownership.

Moore draws a parallel with Obamacare, stating that other countries such as Canada have socialized healthcare because they care about one another, whereas in America, we have the attitude, "I've got mine and to hell with you." Moore simply demonstrates that he, as with most liberals, has no comprehension of traditional American values. After all, "I've got mine and to hell with you," is the Liberal version of capitalism, where moral values are "personal" and do not apply to business matters, while those in need are taken under the wings of government.

The conservative version of capitalism is "I'm working hard to better myself and hard work earns its reward." There is also the corollary conservative belief that for those in real need, we give to and through charity and church, as government is inadequate for those works. And as with Obamacare, there have been few who could legitimately come forward with claims that they have not received care under the American system, as opposed to the many stories of those fleeing "compassionate" socialized medicine for American treatments.

Moore then advances the liberal pap that those who do not share their passion for gun control simply do not really care about the Aurora shootings. However, as with Obamacare, Moore's question betrays him.

Had the President's children been present, what would have happened? Remember, if you will, that these children always travel with ARMED GUARDS. In that case, the joker walks in, throws his tear gas, lifts his gun- and collapses, riddled with bullets from the guns of those ARMED GUARDS.

As the scenario played out in fact, the law-abiding citizens at the theater left their firearms at home and went into the kill-zone created by AMC's "Firearms are prohibited to law-abiding citizens" policy. The shooter strolled through the audience, unimpeded, murdering and maiming those made intentionally helpless by AMC.

In other words, Moore and his gun control cronies only succeeded in making sure that the shooter could get a high body count. And following his advice leads to more deaths, not fewer. Is that the desired outcome? Do we really want 71 dead and wounded as opposed to one dead joker? That should be a rhetorical question. After all, remember the effect one armed citizen had on two armed (would-be) robbers.  Stories like this are repeated everyday; legal gun sales go up, crime goes down, yet those of Moore's ilk can't see the connection.

So Americans are left with three options. First, take your chances in the kill-zones. Second, minimize your visits to kill-zones. Or three, don't go anywhere unaccompanied by the President's daughters.
