Mass Shootings Result In More Calls For Gun Control

There have been three mass shootings in the past week. They were all random acts of terror. It's a horrible thing. We all agree this is devastating. And then we started hearing people blaming one another. Mostly it's the left blaming republicans, society, guns, and the 2nd Amendment. I see this happening all over Fakebook.

It's so hard not to respond. For the most part I'm nice. I try not to say anything, especially to the nice lady's. I try not to comment on their posts. One lady said, "Another mass shooting. Damn you and your 2nd Amendment rights." Another wrote, "The only thing we can blame is guns."

Really? Like, why don't we just blame the person who pulled the trigger? Why don't we ever just hold that person responsible? Why don't we do some real investigating? Like, what do these thugs have in common. That's hard to determine. People on the left like to blame republicans. But, the ideological platforms of these thugs is all over the place. Some are radical left, some radical right, some cut right down the middle. So, ideology doesn't seem to play a role.

Is it guns? Well, the 2nd Amendment was approved in 1791. There were no mass shootings until the past 30 years. So, guns aren't the problem. Besides, some thugs use cars to just run over crowds. Others use knives. There are other weapon besides guns.

So, it's quite clear the anti-gun people, the proponents of gun legislation, are using these mass killings as reasons to advance their agenda. Heck, some democrats are even using these tragedies as strategies for campaign fundraising.

But you have a lot of young people. You have a lot of people who barely follow politics. And of course you have many who are well aware of politics. And they chant things like, "Well, we have to do something."  And that something is always government intervention. And that usually results in more laws. And that usually results in less freedom.

Think of it this way, 99.9% of American gun owners had nothing to do with those crimes. 99% of gun owners are law abiding citizens. Why is it that they are always blamed for these mass shootings. The National Rifle Association is always blamed by people on the left. Its like clockwork: Mass shooting equals attacks on the NRA and gun rights.

Truly, I don't know what the solution is. I do have some theories I will discuss in my next post. But, I'm quite confident blaming republicans won't solve anything. Taking away more freedoms won't solve anything. In fact, all that's going to do is piss off more people.

  1. There is a reason why they are going after people like Alex Jones who exposed the truth about Sandy Hook and other fake shootings. Modern day mass shootings are all fake, because like the COVID-19, the elites have an agenda. They want to bring in more gun laws, and with gun control often quickly passed after shootings, it convinces me that shootings are simply means to fulfill an agenda.


    Politicians such as Justin Trudeau (PM of Canada) have passed gun laws immediately after shootings. They couldn't have, unless the laws were written long prior.

    Alex Jones exposed the fact that the Sandy Hook families are simply paid actors. Thus, they sued him in retaliation. Simple.
