The murders in Newtown, CT, Parkland, FL, Sante Fe, TX, Uvalde, TX and elsewhere have reignited the contrived controversy over school shootings. I say contrived because, thankfully, and despite what the media and anti-liberty/gun cracktivists—I know: one-in-the-same–would have us believe, mass shootings are not increasing in frequency; their numbers remain minute, particularly for schools that empower staff to carry concealed weapons:
Even National Public Radio, an outlet not historically fair to gun owners, the Second Amendment, and realistic means of protecting children and teachers, discovered statistics about the numbers of supposed schools shootings, whether from government or anti-liberty/gun banning organizations, are wildly, falsely exaggerated.
Leftists, despite incontrovertible evidence their simplistic and freedom-destroying solutions—gun bans, “universal background checks,” closing the nonexistent “gun show loophole,” “red flag” laws, magazine capacity bans, “assault weapon” bans and confiscation and “gun free” school zones—do not work, they can’t possibly work–never cease pushing them. They patiently wait and renew their demands whenever a mass murder occurs, hoping to push over-reaching and ineffective legislation through the Congress while emotion might overpower reason. Within 24 hours of two California Deputy Sheriffs being ambushed and gravely wounded, Joe Biden pushed for gun control, citing weapons and magazines not used in that attack:
“What will it take,” they angrily and emotionally demand, “for us to pass common sense gun legislation?” Fortunately, hopefully, it will take a nation willing to disregard fact and logic, and willing to abandon their fundamental rights in exchange for ephemeral promises of safety. We’re not there yet, and no one should mistake willingness to temporarily cooperate in a pandemic—particularly after they’ve learned it was unnecessary and destructive–with willingness to eternally surrender fundamental liberties.
On second thought, such legislation is ineffective only in that it will do nothing at all to prevent school shootings, and even less to stop killers motivated to murder innocents in the future. Such legislation is effective only in limiting and hampering law-abiding American’s right to self-defense, and in putting even more power in the hands of Federal politicians and bureaucrats protected by taxpayer paid armed security, but desperate to deny the same protection to those they believe themselves uniquely suited to rule.
Again, go read it all. Part three of the series is here, Part 2 is here And Part 1 is found here
