(As brief as it is, I thought this little outburst deserved its own post.)
Basic logic dictates that someone accidentally being in close proximity to something bad that happened doesn't magically make that person a hero, or brave, or an expert on anything. It doesn't make them smarter, or make their opinion matter more than anyone else's. In fact, it makes exactly no difference to whether they are worth listening to at all. It is therefore silly that the media is fawning all over ignorant little twerps (above) who are whining for Big Daddy Government to save the day with more stupid "laws."
HOWEVER...
If we, as a society, are going to accept the premise that people who were (supposedly) close to mass shootings have automatic credibility, why not extend that to the few people who survived the worst church shooting in the history of the U.S.? I think it would only be fair to now give a national platform to those few surviving Branch Davidians, who had to watch almost a hundred of their friends and family members being tortured and then murdered by mercenaries of the U.S. "government," to see what they think about "gun control."
Because this is what "gun control" looks like in real life. Look close. Never forget.
