The shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas caused people to go crazy (of course) online. Everybody becomes a Monday morning S.W.A.T. Team commando expert on what should have been done. The other side says, “See! Cops couldn’t even stop him we have to take your guns!” Perhaps the one that is the most illogical is the reason not to arm teachers. Because the cops couldn’t stop the shooter, how could a teacher? Something might go wrong or it might not work (?). What?? Her and the kids are about a second away from dying, what’s wrong with giving her a fighting chance? What exactly is there to lose?
But the Left, the people who want to disarm you, they created these little monsters. From what they teach in the schools (boys are girls, bad is good, everything about America is racist and wrong), to their associates in the media and Hollywood pushing every perversion known to man as normal and good. Everything that might give these kids a fighting chance in life is ridiculed and made fun of.
Not to mention the bureaucracies the Left has created in the schools and with the police are so inefficient and poorly run these miss sign after sign after sign when the kid tells them exactly what they are going to do! The cops were called to the shooter’s house about once a week because of the fights between him and his drug addict mom. What happened to the “after the first call somebody is going to jail” standard?
Like I say its documented this kid was telling them for 4 years he planned to shoot up a school. And the response is always, “We didn’t think he’d really…” “We didn’t believe…” “We didn’t want to ruin his record…”. Modern day school shooting have been going on since 1989. How are we not making any progress?
Robb Elementary had the best doors in the business on the classrooms, why on God’s green earth had the teacher propped it open a minute before the shooter gets there?? There was all kinds of shooting and commotion outside the school and starting from a block away when he crashed his truck. Why did she open the door? Why were 19 cops (the initial amount) not able to stop a kid that had to walk with all that gear a block just to get to the school?
There is all kinds of questions like that. Then it comes out how did this happen in the same state just 3 days before the NRA convention? Just like it did in 1999 in Colorado right after Columbine? That’s just bizarre. Then on Gab last night everyone was getting mad at Lee Greenwood for pulling out of the convention. And for actor Jon Voight saying maybe there should be some sort of qualifications before a kid is handed a gun like that.
Older gun types who haven’t realized this isn’t the same country they grew up in, like to come up with their ‘gun stories’. “Why I had a bolt action Remington 30-06 when I was 3 and I never shot nobody!” “Why we used to take our guns to school for show and tell!” They are mentally incapable of grasping the country has changed. We’ve been importing 3rd world filth since 1965. People who have no intention of ever becoming an ‘American’. They hate us.
Weapons we have now didn’t exist when they were kids. Weapons today are 5 to 10 more times lethal than what they had as a kid. The ATF only has 2 classifications of firearms: Long guns and handguns. That might have worked back in 1957, guns within each category were roughly the same. That is no longer true.
Back then your handgun was either a revolver (5 or 6 shots), or something like a 1911 that only worked half the time because it jammed the other half. Its capacity was only 7. They have semi-auto handguns today that work. Ones that will fire a thousand rounds without a hiccup. 15 capacity is routine. So is 17 or 20. Trigger pull is half that of a revolver so they are much more accurate.
Companies like Wilson Combat make magazines with enlarged capacity and flawless performance. You take someone who bought say 5 – 20 round magazines, he can change them in about 2 seconds and fire off 100 rounds in not much more than a minute.
Center fire rifles back in 1957 were pretty much limited to single, double, lever-action, bolt-action, and a few 5 round semi-autos. Big, slow, heavy and cumbersome. Your modern sporting rifle (“assault rifle”) is semi-automatic, works, and can have a 10, 20 or 30 round magazine. 60 are available. They have scopes and ‘red-dot’ optics that allow a mediocre shooter to be deadly at 100 yards. 3 rounds a second out of one of these is routine. Try that with your dad’s 30-06.
These are not the same guns. Its not the same country. We are not the same people. Gun laws should not be the same.
[Just one example I have of how far society has been degraded, I saw this morning walking through Target. On a book rack was Stephen King’s ‘Firestarter’ (I think that was the title). 65 years ago (if it would have been written at all) it would have been relegated to a bookstore of very questionable repute. Today Stephen King and his vile, disgusting, and completely irredeemable filth are mainstream. He’s considered a serious author.]
