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? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
