I have friends who think I am horrible and crazy to think that stricter gun control laws are not the answer to the tragedy in CT. I am not a spokesperson for the NRA. However, I refuse to villify them, or the gun industry.
If the CT shooter had obeyed the strict gun laws in CT there would've been no shooting. But CRAZY people do NOT obey gun laws. Nor do criminals. So the solution isn't more laws. It's more protection for people who DO obey the laws.
The FIRST and most important thing is to arm teachers. Did you know in Utah teachers are allowed to carry concealed weapons into schools?
Read this post by Larry Correia, the whole thing, and I bet by the end you will agree with him. He knows what he's talking about.
I am going to quote Larry here because I think this is so powerful:
The man that attacked the midnight showing of Batman didn’t attack just any theater. There were like ten to choose from. He didn’t attack the closest. It wasn’t about biggest or smallest. He attacked the one that was posted NO GUNS ALLOWED.
There were four mass killing attempts this week. Only one made the news because it helped the agreed upon media narrative.
- Oregon. NOT a gun free zone. Shooter confronted by permit holder. Shooter commits suicide. Only a few casualties.
- Texas. NOT a gun free zone. Shooter killed immediately by off duty cop. Only a few casualties.
- Connecticut. GUN FREE ZONE. Shooters kills until the police arrive. Suicide. 26 dead.
- China. GUN FREE COUNTRY. A guy with a KNIFE stabs 22 children.
And here is the nail in the coffin for Gun Free Zones. Over the last fifty years, with only one single exception (Gabby Giffords), every single mass shooting event with more than four casualties has taken place in a place where guns were supposedly not allowed.
