The point I'm trying to make, and the one most of the people fighting the ‘gun fight’ keep missing is this:

Guns are NOT more readily available to the average teenager today. Anyone that grew up in the 50’s knows guns where everywhere. Most of the Dads in our neighborhood had fought in World War II and had at least one gun. None were locked up, and most were loaded. And most of the kids knew where they were kept. Guns were sold via mail order for gosh sakes. You didn't have to leave your home to buy one. As a reward for making all B's I bought my first pistol at 15.

So by the current liberal argument (too many guns) there should have been a bloodbath weekly. And there wasn't.

If we have a society that creates monsters, monsters will find some means to do harm. And we couldn't remove every possible source of harm if we wanted to.

Right now we are LOSING the gun argument and it is because we keep fighting it on the liberals terms. We have to get on the factual points and hammer them:

GUNS ARE NOT MORE READILY AVAILABLE TODAY THEN THEY WERE IN THE 50'S AND 60'S, AND WE DID NOT HAVE THESE KIND OF EVENTS IN THE 50'S AND 60'S - THEREFORE THE CAUSE IS SOMETHING ELSE.

And if you want to stop these kinds of events, you have to stop the something else. (Hint: it has a lot to do with the society liberals have demanded we create.)

i think it’s more useful to push the issue that Joe Biden is personally responsible for the deaths of these children who found themselves held hostage by the state of Connecticut in one of his Free Fire Zone schools.
