Kal Penn is an idiot
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that actor Kal Penn scored very low on the Analogy section of the SATs.
In an attempt to prove that Congress is unwilling to take action against “gun violence,” Penn tweeted out this pseudo-insightful bit of drivel:
Americans killed on 9/11: 2,996
Days it took Congress to authorize war:3
Americans killed by guns in 2017: 11,652
Days in 2017 so far:275

Now, to the trained eye, it appears what Kal is saying here is Congress should declare war on people who shoot and killed people.
Or, as Kurt Schlichter put it:
Liberal demands America invade Chicago https://t.co/NNEK4ckEYg

Of course Kal Penn’s analogy doesn’t make any sense.
It’s like comparing apples to peanut butter.
Now, if three days after 9/11 Congress voted to ban all planes larger than a 737, then I would get his point.
Or if three days after 9/11, Congress passed a law saying only law enforcement and the military can fly, then, maybe his analogy would make sense.
But to the colossally ignorant, this tweet sounds brilliant.
Then again, to the colossally ignorant, Jimmy Kimmel is an expert on public policy.
Killing people is already against the law. Maybe Kal isn’t aware of that.
And when you consider that the majority of firearm homicides are concentrated in cities with a great deal of gang violence, clearly law enforcement is already combatting the problem.
But if anything is preventing law enforcement from cracking down on gangs, it isn’t the NRA. Instead, it is Democrat politicians who have made gang-infested cities sanctuaries for illegal aliens.
Which, by the way, ICE is waging a war against illegal alien gangs like MS-13. So Kal Penn’s point is moot.
And let’s face it. Like most Leftists, Kal Penn has no problem with Sanctuary Cities or illegal aliens.
Another thing that has seriously hindered combatting the people who commit these murders was the Obama Justice Department’s relentless attacks on law enforcement. And Crime Statistics are showing that Heather MacDonald was right. This “Ferguson Effect” is very real.
But Kal Penn doesn’t want to talk about that.
Instead, he attacks the Second Amendment and tries to create a moral equivalence between the terrorists of 9/11 and the right to bear arms.
Wayne LaPierre did an outstanding video a couple years ago about “How to Stop Gun Violence.”
And unlike Kal Penn’s insipid tweet, LaPierre actually uses facts.
Give a watch.

What is a Kal Penn? Never heard of it. Part of commie family of Sean Penn and his father?
Rumor has it he was Obama’s former … you know … buddy.
In the video, LaPierre pushed to have Obama enforce federal gun laws claiming homicides would plummet.
Shouldn’t we do that?
We have a wimpy, do-nothing, scaredy-cat AG…I’m not holding my breath.
– box loads of FBI evidence on HRC’s misuse of classified material: no action by AG.
– box loads of FBI evidence on HRC’s use of a private server for government business: no action by AG.
– box loads of FBI evidence on Lois Lerner & IRS: no action by AG.
– sworn testimony of FBI Director that he committed felony: no action AG.
– plenty of suspicion on many others (Fast & Furious, Lynch, Rice, Power, Abedin, Mills, Sullivan, Clinton Foundation, etc.): no action by AG.
Oh, he’s prosecuting Twinkle or Reality or whatever her name is — whooptido.
What is Project Exile?
Project Exile was a program originated in Richmond, VA imposing harsh penalties for gun crimes. The result was that is was very successful with other states adopting the same measures. Obama’s DOJ shut the program down deeming it racist since more Blacks were arrested than any other group.
Democrats are liars when they tell you they care about gun crimes. What they care about is disarming you so they can run amuck imposing big government.
Just one more of the many reasons I’m A Life Member in the NRA.
I support the NRA. 71 now and come from a time when no one thought twice about guns in the home, granted mostly shot guns and rifles for hunting as well as protection. Some had hand guns. My fear of hand guns got me in a forced shooting lesson out behind the barn. Had to learn how to break it down, clean it, put it back together, then load and shoot. Needless to say I couldn’t hit the backside of the barn but it broke me of my fear. I hunted with the smallest of the shotguns, a .410 that didn’t kick. After all I was only 9 years old! LOL I come from a HUGE family from Grandparents on down and every family had guns. Guess how many of 100+ of us have gone to jail/prison for shooting and/or killing someone with a gun? ZIP NADA NONE We all live/lived within the laws. I see no future of our 2nd Amendment rights being taken from us. We cannot and must not allow the government (read liberals) to force us to give up any part of our Constitutional right to keep and bare arms. When we do that, we become a Third World country without rights with no way to fight the tyranny. When you have 6 generations of law abiding, gun toting people with no police record, how can you square that with more than 6 generations in places like Chicago? WE are not the problem. NRA is not the problem. Democrat loonie tunes are the problem.
Mmm. Now I want apples and peanut butter!
