Another Mass shooting and the beat goes on

from I HAD to say it · host Aaron

What happened in Texas was truly terrible. There is no other way to say it. But what is worse to me the disgusting way the political machine on both sides of the aisle has pounced on it to start driving their agendas. Personally I am opposed to the gun grabbers for multiple reasons but one of my biggest issues with their stance is that it shows both a lack of understanding about firearms and human nature. If you know nothing about an item, why would I trust your decisions related to it. It is really so easy in our world to educate your self on a subject before opening your mouth, yet so few people do it. So I am going to elaborate on a tweet I made the other day and discuss the issue as I see it. And I am going to belabor the very basic fact that laws only impact the people who are already following them. And there are so many ways to do horrible things without a gun that if they magically all disappeared tomorrow there would still be a tragedy the same week. The root of the problem is not being addressed. We don't have a gun problem, we have a humanity problem. There are approximately 20,000 current gun laws and restrictions on the books. This is all virtue signaling and banner waving, gun laws don't work. All you will do is expose the law abiding citizens to a greater threat by removing their ability to defend themselves from people who couldn't care less about the law. And if you are going to stand on the graves of children to argue with me then your point is already invalid because with out the emotional quotient of the tragedy, you don't have a leg to stand on.
