The best description of our current political climate I have
ever heard goes like this: “A conservative vegetarian does not eat meat. A liberal vegetarian does not want you to eat
meat.” The blood of the victims in the
latest mass shooting in Oregon was not even dry before liberal pundits climbed
up on the corpses to scream for more gun control. My social media exploded with people posting
and re-posting state sponsored propaganda from pretend news agencies. Lots of rhetorical questions like: “How did
this happen?” And, “How can we prevent this?” They are rhetorical because we know the answer
already. We have given you the answer time
and again. You just refuse to listen.
Every day across this country, thousands upon thousands of
Americans, some responsible, some not so much, take their firearms to shooting
ranges and fire those weapons. Millions
of cartridges are expended. High
capacity magazines are used and reused.
Fully automatic and semi automatic rifles are shot. Some guns with pistol grips and barrel
shrouds. Some are benign and some are
black and scary looking. Ammunition
designed to pierce body armor and sub sonic ammo is fired. But do you know what absolutely NEVER happens
at those shooting ranges? Mass
executions. Do you know why? Because it would be foolhardy at best to walk
into an area where every soul is armed and start pointing a weapon at
people. In fact, it has generally been
my experience that folks at the gun range are all extraordinarily polite to
each other. It doesn’t take a whole lot
of common sense to understand the folly of picking a fight with a person
holding a loaded gun in their hand. Yet,
according to the arguments put forth by the liberal gun control advocates, these places
should be littered with corpses on a daily basis, yet they are not.
The military uses the term “soft target”. It’s defined as “A person or thing that is
relatively unprotected or vulnerable.”
Every mass shooting execution in the last several years have one thing
in common. They all happened at soft
target locations. Just about every
single successful attacker commits his crime in “Gun Free Zones”. They do this because they know that there
will not be anyone there with the capacity to stop them. Gun free zones have been created across this
country as “common sense gun control” with the intent of making people feel
safe. When in reality it is creating a
danger zone for those very people. All
they successfully do is disarm the people who would have the capacity to defend
themselves and others in a violent situation.
Congratulations, your common sense gun control laws just created a bunch
of soft targets for these psychopaths.
When these psychopaths strike, the reaction from the media
is swift. My television has been lit up
for hours now with “Mass shooting” and “Gun Control” stories. If you have not been paying attention, let me
clue you in on something. Every one of
these psychopaths who have left behind some kind of manifesto, have all cited a
common thread: They ALL wanted the
attention given to the killers that struck before them. So much so, that they repeatedly cite them by
name. If you want to know what is
causing it, just turn to the media. We
are giving these people exactly what they desire; Story after story about the
incident. By giving these animals the notoriety they desire, and showing it to
the world, you are only creating future killers from the pool of psychopaths
who are watching you glorify these idiots.
Who is to blame? Easy, the media, combined with your common sense gun control laws- end of story. Your gun control is contributing to the problem, not preventing it.
I saw an article recently that made the claim, that the
notion that only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a
gun, was hogwash. Their logic was that
they never hear about this happening.
The reality is that it happens EVERY single day in this country. I see it every day, posted on low key
websites. Stories about armed citizens
stopping criminals from committing a crime.
Here is the difference: Media
outlets do not publish those stories. It
does not fit their liberal agenda. An
agenda that includes making sure you follow your new vegetarian diet. The media is canonizing the criminals and
ignoring the heroes that actually do manage to stop them. Then has the audacity to wonder why we never
hear about it. When they do publish those stories, half the time they don't even mention the heroes name. In Warren Michigan last month, an armed customer at a bank stopped a bank robber in his tracks. The Washington Times posted less than an entire paragraph about it, and never cited the hero by name.
These kind of criminal mass shootings are a relatively
modern phenomenon. But guns have been around for centuries. So why is it
happening? It’s happening because the media
makes instant celebrities of these criminals, so that they can use the story to
push their agenda to disarm the common citizen. All the while, creating more
soft targets and future criminals. So how do we stop it? You will never legislate crime away. If you think that banning guns in this country
will solve the problem, think again.
Even the liberals in Washington have the common sense to understand that
attempting to ban guns would most likely result in a civil uprising. You will
also never be able to fully prevent animals from committing violent acts. The option we are left with is to be prepared
to protect ourselves. If you want this crap to stop, then we need to start
educating ourselves, and our children about firearms, how to use them responsibly,
and how to defend ourselves with them.
This is something that all of our great grandfathers did before us, and
they didn’t have these problems. You
have the right to chose not to do that.
But you have no right whatsoever to tell me that I can’t. Now pass the pot roast, I’m sick of these
vegetables.
