It's become as predictable as the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano in the spring....or the buzzards coming back to Hinkley, Ohio. Everytime there is a school shooting somewhere, there is this massive outcry that we need to have more gun control. Well, it happened again on Friday. This time in Centennial, Colarado. I don't know what it is about that state, but for being as liberal as they are, they sure have a lot of shooting incidents!
And, so I'm waiting for Bobo Obama and his troupe to come running to the media microphones to cry about how wrong it is that we allow guns in this country. It's very predictable. In fact, if you're a newspaper writer, you probably already have your quotes written down. It's just a question of who is saying it.
In this case, the shooter didn't kill anyone but himself (and I don't think that's against the law, even in Colorado). But in all of these cases, one thing stands clear; we don't need more laws. We need to enforce the laws that are on the books. We have enough laws. If anybody thinks that banning an assault weapon is going to stop someone who's looking at taking out a bunch of people before turning the gun on themselves to stop and ponder the jail time they're going to get, you don't deserve to be in Congress. You can't be that stupid. More laws aren't the answer.
You want tougher screening? Ok. I'll give that a try. But don't come running to me and you need something tougher the next time this type of thing happens. Because you're not going to be happy until everybody's guns are taken away. Of course, there have been hundreds of studies that all show the same thing, and the libs all run the other way on...if everyone is armed, you don't get this type of crime being committed. That's because this guy and the others like him aren't going to commit suicide when they aren't going take anybody else out. If that were the case, they could do it at home, in private.
You want an answer to the school shootings? Two things. 1. Everybody's trained in firearms before they leave elementary school, and everybody over 18 is forced to carry a weapon that is checked at the door of the school. There are armed guards there and if anybody draws a gun on them, they are taken out no questions asked. How many school shootings do you think will happen then?
The NRA says that they would be happy to go along with mental health screenings as a part of gun ownership. That's a start. But I'd say do the mental health screenings ever few years, like a driver's license. If you don't get it renewed by a trained psychologist, the black helecopters come to your house and take your guns. I'd be for that. Prove you're sane, and you can have guns. If you're not, you don't get 'em. Case close.
