We just had three mass shootings in the last eleven days. One in Atlanta another in Boulder and a third in Virginia Beach. Cue the normal media reactions, white supremacy, gun control and racism. The media is hell bent on forcing the agenda and has been doing so for years. The Vice President even chimed in on calling white supremacy and racism even while the investigations were still ongoing.
First, let’s define mass shooting. A mass shooting is an incident involving multiple victims of gun violence. The FBI’s definition calls a mass shooting one that involves 3 or more victims. Low and behold there were 614 mass shootings in 2020 according to the definition. So far in 2021 there have been 103 mass shootings as compared to 66 to the same date in 2020.
Americans own 40% of all guns in the world, that is a huge number! It is estimated that there are 393 million guns in the United States. The population of the United States stands about 331 million. In 2015 it was four guns for every person that bought a gun, that number has gone up to 5 guns for every person that bought a gun. According to the FBI, knives kill more people in the United States than guns do.
Here is my take. A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. How dare I bring up the second Amendment, people are being slaughtered in the streets. The guns need to go away for the safety of the public! Humans have been killing humans for thousands of years, you pick the weapon, it has been used to slaughter other humans. It usually just comes down to I have something that someone else wants that is willing to use violence to get it. Guns leveled the playing field, you did not have to be bigger or stronger to take out your enemy. Sure take away the guns, then it will be knives that be the scourge of public safety, what next? All governments want control, what is the saying, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Take away the guns, we become sitting ducks to the criminals and the government. A question, any idea why since the war of 1812 there have been no battles with foreign countries on our soil? We have guns and lots of them. One of the most telling and intelligent moves the Japanese made during WWII was not to invade mainland USA, because they didn’t know where the guns were located.
With all of the mass shootings in this country you would think it would be all over the news. The MSM jumped on three out of 103. Two of them don’t fit the narrative now that the facts have come out. The “white” guy in Boulder turned out to be middle eastern and a Trump hater. The three in Virginia Beach were all African American. That leaves us with the Atlanta guy who was a sex addict. The FBI said there was no racial motivation for the killings. Guess what, the media and the White House went right for the white supremacy angle even before the facts came out! Guns aren’t the problem, people are the problem. Look up what has happened to any country that gave up their guns. Russia, 1917. Germany 1932. Right now our government smells blood in the water and the only thing keeping them up late at night is the 393 million guns in this country.
