Another day, another shooting, another day for pushing agendas. The church shooting in White Settlement, Texas is a terrible tragedy. The outrage was predictable. The left blames the NRA and claims that more gun laws are needed. The right hails the hero who took down the shooter and saved countless more lives. The left claims that gun free zones are the answer. The right points out that self-protection is the answer. There is only one end point for the argument. Confiscation.
The left is still not willing to go there. The focus groups tell them not to. They will eventually. For now it will still be the outrage after each incident. Once the gun law fallacy is dead and the gun free zone silliness has worn out its usefulness, the left will have to embrace their ultimate goal of confiscation. It will be sold as the only feasible way to stop senseless gun violence. No laws will stop criminals. Gun free zones create target rich environments. And the most important aspect? Allowing and encouraging people to arm and protect themselves is 180 degrees out of phase from the goal of empowering the government.
How sad that an unspecified number of victims must die in order to advance a narrative. More still need to die. An uninvested observer would look at it logically and say that the solution is mandatory self-protection. Waiting for a law enforcement agency to respond to a situation which is usually over with in a matter of minutes is illogical. Protecting yourself is the logical answer.
The left tries to sell the opposite. Simply eliminate the problem at its source. The only problem is that inconvenient little amendment in the Constitution. The left needs more carnage. More senseless killings. Their strategy is to shock Americans into willingly give up the 2nd Amendment in order to save themselves. Create more gun free zones and sanctuary areas. This will lead to more bloodshed. Leading the lambs to the slaughter.
The fact should have you appalled. That the left is hopeful of more deaths merely to enable their goal of changing the Constitution is beyond outrageous. Yet we see it all the time with the progressive agenda in that the ends really do justify the means. It’s a given with our politicians that place agenda above all else. Wasting taxpayer dollars? Well worth it. Bloodshed to strengthen the ruling class? Justifiable if it’s in our best interests so decided upon by said ruling class.
The left will vehemently deny this. To claim that they could be so callous? It’s a product of a vast bureaucracy. Detachment from how this affects the common man on the street is the very definition of our unelected bureaucrats making policy for so many millions of people they literally will never have any contact with yet make life changing decisions for them on a regular basis. The elected officials only come out at campaign time to our neighborhoods and hear us at our town halls. When is the last time you heard of a politician respond to a constituent at a town hall and change their platform because of it? Not lobbyists or special interests mind you but a real man on the street? It doesn’t happen. Instead they get elected and then tell us how they will rule. What happened to an elected official reflecting their constituents views rather than their own?
So we wait for the left to embrace confiscation. It’s coming. It’s always been their agenda. How many more will die in the meantime? Or will the right finally go on offense for self-defense and addressing mental illness and stop playing defense on the left’s terms?
