This isn’t not the world we grew up in.
Time and time again we are faced with the feel good politics of gun control while ignoring the past and data concerning it. I’m talking true data, taking in population size, crime stats before, during and after etc.....
If we truly want to protect our children then why are our schools open fish bowls? Signs stating there is not a soul armed on location? For our schools to be safe we need to think of internal and external threats. We need to make our schools as inaccessible as our airports and high level government buildings. Why not have live surveillance feed to the local law enforcement? Why not have metal detectors? Why not have bullet resistant glass on our lower level windows? Why not have active police or private security present? We have all these for our fiat currency, we have them for government employees, we have them at our airports.
It’s time we started putting a higher value on our children’s lives. We need to secure our schools better. We need to stop the “guns r bad” mentality. A gun is a tool just like any other tool. It’s the user who makes it dangerous. The same week of the tragedy in Florida, there was a mass stabbing in China. One man killed and injured over 100 people with a knife. Banning something does not create safety.
