But the problem then, as is true after mass shootings today, was guns. Whether it’s Columbine or recent mass shootings in Las Vegas or Parkland, Florida, the fundamental issue is that the people behind these tragedies were able to obtain extremely deadly firearms, from handguns to assault rifles to weapons modified with devices like bump stocks. This is what let the shooters carry out such awful atrocities. |

All of those words, and for what?
To conceal the real issue - their problem is FREEDOM.
Freedom to act lawfully and peacefully, and freedom to act violently and criminally.
But make no mistake - they know that getting rid of guns won't end the violent criminal behavior. What it WILL do is eliminate our liberty. And they know that, too.
In plain point of fact, that is their goal. |

55% of mass shootings are done with handguns.
There's been a couple of school shootings where shotguns were used; I predict that if we do get another AWB, shotguns will see much more use. They are DEADLY weapons.
It's the psychopaths we allow to go untreated and free in society, not the guns.
The Parkland High School shooter in Florida should have been arrested and confined LONG BEFORE that school shooting.
STOP TRYING TO BAN THE GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
