Oh no! Senator Ted Cruz, Texas, has gone and spoken common sense, and the left is LIKE TRIGGERED! Tom Knighton is likely laughing at that
However, the good senator is under fire for saying something that is actually pretty true.
Newsweek, for example, titled its story on it: “Ted Cruz Says Violence Is ‘Only’ Solution to Violence, Defends AR-15s”
What did Cruz say that was so horrible? Well…
Reiterating his stance against gun control, Republican Senator Ted Cruz said that the “only” solution to violence is violence.
In support of the weapon, Cruz cited the shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, in 2017, the deadliest in the state’s history. Nearby resident Stephen Willeford responded to the incident with his own rifle and is credited with helping end the incident which killed 26 people and an unborn child.
“The weapon that Stephen used to stop that was an AR-15,” Cruz said.
The conversation around gun control in the U.S. was reignited in May when an 18-year-old man entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and opened fire with an AR-15, killing 21 students and staff members, and himself. Cruz was among the Republicans to call for enhanced security at schools in response to the incident, including armed guards and fewer entrances.
Of course, some brain numbed member of the Cult of Gun Control had to dig into the Pit of Eternal Leftist Idiocy and offer this retort: “violence doesn’t solve violence’ To which Cruz responded “It actually is the only thing that does.”
Senator Cruz is correct. Evil people do not stop because we offer them flowers or candy do they? They do evil until they are stopped, and yes it is some form of violence that generally stops them. The cold fact is this. Most people who believe that non-violence is the answer are, for some reason, more upset at good guys stopping violent criminals than at criminals harming others.
Some may think those words are harsh, but consider the man who took out the would be shooter recently at Greenwood Park Mall in Indiana. Recall how some of the leading voices for gun control belittled what he did in saving lives. They were insistent on accusing the hero of breaking laws by carrying a sidearm. Some even assured us that his act was not heroic. Moral Back Ass Wardsness anyone?
Tom Knighton sums it up very well
The truth is that violence isn’t inherently evil or vile. The Holocaust wasn’t ended due to diplomacy. It ended because we shot enough Nazis to liberate the camps. It ended because we visited sufficient violence to end it.
On a more local scale and in more recent history, the shooting at Greenwood Park Mall didn’t end because a private citizen talked nicely to the shooter. It ended because a private citizen shot the SOB before he could kill anyone else.
Some don’t like to hear it, but violence solves plenty.
AMEN SIR!
