A stabbing in Queens this past week. Check out the story via the New York Times<\/a>. (Photo: NY Times<\/a><\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

(Editor’s note:<\/strong> This article was a submission from freelance writer S. Farver<\/em>) <\/span><\/p>\n

For all their talk of \u201ccommon sense gun control,\u201d the anti-gun community has had a mighty hard time with common sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common sense, for example, might suggest that individuals are responsible for the crimes they commit with guns\u2014not the gun manufacturer. We don\u2019t hold Ford responsible for drunk driving deaths. It wouldn\u2019t be fair or reasonable to hold gun manufacturers to a higher standard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common sense? Yes. Does the anti-2nd\u00a0Amendment crowd get it? No.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remington,\u00a0they say<\/span><\/a>, should be held responsible for the Newtown shooting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another one: \u201cGuns don\u2019t commit crimes. People do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to imagine anything more commonsensical. Since the inception of small arms some 400-plus years ago, no one has ever witnessed a gun walk out of its safe and commit a crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

And yet, no matter how many times we try to explain this simple truth, whenever anti-gunners talk about reducing crime, they talk about restricting constitutional rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the thing about common sense\u2014it has a way of proving itself to be true.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the last several months, the NYPD has managed to confiscate an \u201cunprecedented\u201d number of illegal guns. According to anti-gunner common sense (fewer guns=less crime), crime should be at an all-time low\u2026 right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Think again.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Fox 5 New York<\/span><\/a>, the city was averaging over 10 stabbings a day in the first six weeks of the year. New Yorkers have been on edge, and the police have had trouble controlling the rash of stabbings and slashing.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a valiant effort to put a positive spin on things, New York mayor Bill de Blasio tried to deflect attention away from the random subway stabbings.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m not a criminologist,\u201d de Blasio said, \u201cbut I can safely say that guns are being taken off the street in an unprecedented way. Some people, unfortunately, are turning to a different weapon.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The mayor\u2019s surprise that people are \u201cturning to a different weapon\u201d is sadly predictable. When politicians and pundits want to blame the tool rather than the criminal, not even the most obvious truths make a dent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common sense says that if someone wants to commit a crime, they\u2019ll commit that crime whether or not they have a gun. The\u00a0FBI says<\/span><\/a><\/span> that more guns actually equal\u00a0less<\/i>\u00a0crime, not more. Now, the stabbings in New York\u2014that bastion of \u201ccommon sense gun control\u201d\u2014prove what real common sense has been telling us all along.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for the anti-gun community to wake up and face the facts. Gun control legislation won\u2019t reduce crime, but it will disarm responsible American citizens. No matter how much \u201ccommon sense\u201d our politicians legislate, criminals will get guns\u2014or knives. The question is, will average Americans have the ability to defend themselves? This hasn\u2019t been the case in New York City, and if we\u2019re not vigilant, the entire country could follow their lead.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
