"A monstrosity and cowardness without equal," Bolsonaro wrote in a tweet expressing his sympathies for the families of the victims of Wednesday's attacks.
Sen. Major Olimpio, a member of Bolsonaro's party and a proponent of loosening gun legislation, again made that argument hours after Wednesday's rampage.
"We can't let those who take advantage of this tragedy speak about how disarmament is the solution," he tweeted, adding: "Weak and shameful 'disarmament farce,' which gave guns to criminals and prevented self-defense." |

The left's insistence that responsible, trained people are incapable of using sidearms to defend both themselves and wards under their care is illogical and without merit.
The amount of carnage in these attacks is linearly related to the response time of people carrying guns, i.e. the police. The only way to stop such an attack as quickly as possible (thus drastically reducing the carnage) is to have trained, armed civilians immediately present to take action.
That leftists are so hard-headed as to deny this reality should be a clue that they are never to be placed in positions of power.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
