These people are foolish,
The media wants them afraid, so they feel fear on command. It was the same thing that was behind the COVID insanity.
Mass shootings are still vanishingly rare compared to the "regular" murders that happen everyday and largely fly under the radar. Being afraid of one rare type of murder while ignoring the majority of them is senseless. It's like reading about a new car in the paper and feeling unsafe for fear of being in an accident with that model of car while ignoring the large majority of car deaths that don't involve them.
Yes, the murder rate is up now, after decades of falling, but what do you expect when you allow Democrats to be in charge? It's still lower than in the 90s... were they afraid then? |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
