Florida shooting: Gun control advocates rush to distort the truth about what happened in Parkland
Fox News ^ | February 16, 2018 | John R. Lott, Jr.

Posted on 02/18/2018 7:52:50 PM PST by rogerantone1

Gun control advocates are only too sure that they occupy the moral high ground. In the aftermath of the Parkland, Florida high school shooting that left 17 dead, they are accusing their opponents of having “blood on their hands.”

It’s no longer just activists such as Chelsea Handler who are spewing such vitriol. Even mainstream liberals such as political scientist Norm Ornstein use the phrase.

but even research funded by the Clinton administration concluded that the previous ban and limit on magazine size had “no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence.”

Yeah, cuz any bullet hole is still gonna leave a mark and need some ice...

If I understand right, I think I can support a ban on ‘asphalt weapons’. They are far too heavy and bulky and in hot weather the tar sticks to everything.

Oops. Assault, not asphalt weapons. Nevermind! /EmilyLitella


The same story time and again, everytime we have a shooting but the only solution ever proposed is resticting our rights.

What is sad is that the nation has come to be so heavily populated by mindless drama queens and easily manipulated snowflakes.

We don’t have a gun problem. We have a sin problem.

The only solution to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Libtards will not even discuss this truth.

They are not really interested in solving the problem.

Our society made the weapon used: the shooter himself with accomplices of those who were supposed to protect our children: school and law enforcement. The left seems to have no problem with the barbarians who slaughter our children. Not once in any quotes from the leftist ghouls did they acknowledge the human defect murderer but blame a piece of metal and plastic along with a president. They have zero answers to solve the real problems but will go on hysterical tantrums as those poor souls are not even buried yet.

‘Distorting the truth’ is called lying. Why can’t we call a spade a spade now-a-days?

Liberals lie to get what they want...that is a fact.

They’ve got the liberals rolling on the gun grabbing express damn quick, almost as quick as students and families in the Florida town were to speculate (with perfect accuracy) as to who the shooter was.

It’s been non-stop rolling ‘we gotta ban’ this and that and it’ll solve all the problems and when you point out that such things have already been banned in California, they spew some other thing they read in a liberal meme and roll right on by.

A couple locals have gotten into the swing of things, where we had our own version of a bungled case where authorities were fully warned about the perp before he went on his rampage in Rancho Tehoma Reserve. Local residents accurately predicted who the perp was even while he was driving through the area before crashing his vehicle into the fence of the school.

Thankfully, they get shut down about as fast as they pop up on local groups with this nonsense gun banning (oh, I’m sorry, rational regulation (banning, registration, licensing, etc))

The main question to ask is “IF it was a known practice of this school in Florida to have at least 3 students/teachers in each classroom armed with guns, WOULD this same yute try his assault at all?”

Archie Bunker said that if all passengers carried guns on airlines, then all high-jackings would stop.

Wonder why they don’t go after the two biggest culprits - the school administration that opted to not notify police of things to “protect student privacy”, and the FBI who ignored a credible threat....

Imagine the carnage at the Scalise shooting had there not been armed police there.

BINGO! We have DR inmates on DR for 30+ yrs who left DNA all over thier victims fighting the DP any way they can. Living the good life while they do so at Tax Payer expense, that includes the victim’s family paying those taxes, and paying to travel to those hearings.

Plea Bargains for M1 to M2 with 20 yr sentences take 2 yrs, then the Perp has a parole hearing 10 months after the sentencing. If the victim’s family fights them they might because of ‘good behavior’ over crowding regs eke out 10.5 yrs of that 20 yrs. LOCK AND LOAD is all this mom of a Murdered Child will tell you. FENCE POST KILL, SHOELACES KILL lets ban them. STUPIDITY to blame a object when it’s the evil person who used them.

Lets not forget to add that Medical Error is the THIRD leading cause of Deaths in the US.
