The Story Has Changed
Last week a terrible tragedy happened at a Florida School, where 19 year old former student Nikolas Cruz killed 17 students.
There are no words I could offer the parents who lost their loved ones, the actions of this killer are unforgivable. I would like to get into what we have learned, now a bout a week later. The story hit the news and within minutes the debate had sprung up all over social media and almost every news media company, the political argument of gun control.
Here are some facts we need to look at before we get into this conversation. Cruz was under investigation by the sheriff's department in 2016 for cutting himself on social media and and saying he was going to buy a gun. Another fact is that in the seven years leading up to the shooting, police were called to the Cruz residence thirty-nine times for a multitude of different reasons. A crisis unit had been called out to assess if Cruz need to be committed for psychiatric treatment, but then never was. The Sheriff's office received more than 20 calls regarding Cruz, for concerned students and other people regarding him literally telling the world he was going to shoot up the school. Watch below for a deep analysis of what had happened leading up to the shooting.
*"You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don't enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It's not the law-abiding citizens, it's not the person who uses it as a hobby." - Michael Steele
After all this why was he still able to buy a gun, three days after being kicked out of the school?
There where no flags raised when he went to legally purchase the gun, because no one had bothered to take note of this or enforce any of the current laws already in place. Layer upon layer of laws and standards have been put in place to stop things like this happening. The authorizes did not follow any of the necessary procedures, when all the warning signs were there. The idea that another law will prevent these kinds of things of happening requires a child like beliefs in fantasy. Every single red flag went up on this kid and nothing was done by the police, FBI and other government agencies. When they are getting calls from concerned students, saying they thing this kid is going to do something and nothing gets done, how are they blaming the gun again?
"In 1939, Germany established gun control. From 1939 to 1945, six million Jews and seven million others unable to defend themselves were exterminated." - Joe Wurzelbacher
Here's an interesting question, should we change every law based on emotional feelings, when it is based on the actions of less than 0.001% but will affect the 99.999%?
Crowder does a brilliant job of destroying some gun control myths in under 54 seconds, check out the video above. Every time something like this happens the political left have to virtue signal to the entire world that the only way to stop this is to disarm law abiding citizens. Just because someone did something bad, that now gives them the right to strip others of their god given right to protect themselves.
