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 |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
