We have again another
school shooting where at least 17 students and teachers have been killed. Now, many ask how could this happen? Right away, the usual suspects start their chant
that we need gun control. This was led
by Sen. BAN (Bill A-Hole Nelson) who throws out the liberal lines that we need
gun control. Yet when you asked these
same individuals how gun control could have prevented this incident, they
cannot answer, but go off with their usual rhetoric. Controlling guns is not the answer, preventing
those with criminal records or displaying mental health issues from purchasing
weapons is the answer. But, if nobody
knows, nothing can be done.
What we have learned so
far from this shooting and other school shootings is that many of the students
were aware that the former student had issues.
In fact, if you listen to what some of the students were saying the
evening of this shooting, the students were communicating with each other about
the shooter and how some were not surprised by this shooter’s actions. Yet, it also appears, rather than inform
their parents, teachers or law enforcement, nothing was done. Again, what this shooter wrote on social
media was known by the students, but so far, unknown to those who may have been
able to address the issues this shooter was expressing in his writings. The phrase that we have been hearing since
9/11, “If you see something, say something,” was not used.
But, it was reported the FBI was alerted to an
individual on social media by a 36-year-old YouTube
video blogger from Mississippi, about a web site where the writer indicated he wanted to get
involved in a school shooting. But the
FBI is claiming they could not track down the writer. All they needed to do was get a search
warrant to obtain the IP address. The
information in the web site would have been enough to obtain the warrant. However, this was not done. Yet, they had no problem obtaining warrants
from the FISA court with less collaborating information. Go figure.
The FBI has excellent agents, but like any occupation, maybe some have
lost their zeal to the job. But, then
again, if Comey, McBride, Sally Yates and others knew, they could have
manufactured details to obtain a warrant.
But, excuse me, I digress.
If the anti-gun crowd really wants to restrict
gun possession then they should push for a constitutional amendment to change
the 2nd Amendment. But this
would require 34 states to call for a constitutional amendment and 38 states to
pass an amendment. But these liberals
would rather go to court and find a sympathetic judge that may illegally order
gun restrictions that is usually overruled by other courts or the Supreme Court
as happened in the past.
However, these same anti-gun advocates will
not address the Hollywood violent movies where guns are used to resolve issues. In addition we have the violent video games
that again have guns resolving issues.
So, this is the world our children grow up in, violence solving issues. This especially important when children today
do not communicate face to face but through an electronic device.
Mental health issues must also be addressed
and those that display potential mental health problems, whether student or
adult, should not have access to weapons until a complete mental evaluation has
been established. Additionally, guns in
homes of these individuals should be secured to prevent access. Since this becomes a political correct issue
on identifying a person who may have mental health issues and may object, but
state legislatures should be addressing this issue.
These shootings also occur in gun free
zones. Schools, movie theaters, malls or
even churches where these gunmen are aware that guns will not be present.
Finally, we are removing God from our schools
and our lives and when God is removed, evil moves in. We are losing all respect
for human life from the womb to old age and when the senior becomes a burden on
society, we just euthanize them and problem solved. Our country was founded with God as the
center of our life and we need to return to God. When we have a TV show titled “Lucifer”,
another name for Satan, we see we are heading down the wrong road. Our country will not survive without God in
our lives. Evil is replacing God and
evil is growing as we are witnessing.
With God, all things are
possible, without God, evil is sure to thrive.
