Virginia Senator (and future Vice-President…except for the
grace of God) Tim Kaine said Monday that he was saddened by the “senseless act
of gun violence” at Ohio State University. Turns out, Kaine was the purveyor of
“fake news.”
In
reality, the “senseless act of gun violence” was a brutal terrorist attack
carried out by a Somali-born student, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, who actually drove
a car into a crowd and then got out
and stabbed people with a butcher-knife.
But stating that it was a “senseless act of vehicular and knife violence”
doesn’t sound sexy to liberals.
After
his original tweet reflexively blaming guns for the tragedy, a chagrinned (and
probably despondent) Kaine was forced to correct himself, tweeting out:
“Updated reports say attacker used a vehicle & knife. Horrifying &
senseless.” You can read the “damn it!” between the lines.
The OSU
campus was locked down Monday morning after an initial university alert warned
of an “active shooter.” The “active shooter” was an Ohio State police officer,
who put an end to the crazed rampage by shooting the perpetrator.
The
liberal aversion to firearms runs so deep that it appears to be part of their
DNA. This crazed- and apparently crazy- intolerance of an inanimate object does
serve a vital purpose to progressives, however. By attempting to put the blame
on guns for any and all heinous acts, they reassign and remove the blame from
the evil human beings truly responsible. In many cases this has the added
benefit of disguising the effect of the very social policies they promote and
pursue.
If a
liberal nods off and you poke him or her in the side, it is likely when they
wake with a start that they reflexively ejaculate: “It was a senseless act of
gun violence,” before they completely come to.
It
doesn’t matter what kind of tragedy liberals attempt to characterize, their
default position is to blame guns…no matter how preposterous the claim. (And a
corollary is that they always hope and believe it is a white, right-wing Christian
behind the crime).
Ohio
State attack? Gun violence! Brussels? Gun violence! London, Madrid, St. Cloud?
Gun violence? The most recent (sad that we have to add “most recent”) Paris
attack? Well, banning trucks doesn’t really do anything for us, so…let’s stop
gun violence!
Thermopylae? Must’ve been gun violence!
Never
use logic or reason with liberals. If you attempt to do so they may call it a
hate crime. They are intolerant and non-inclusive of the truth. They believe
something must be a fact simply because
they want it to be one.
Barack
Obama’s Chicago has very strict gun control laws. Yet, as I write this, 701
people have been killed by gunfire so far this year. 3,315 have been shot. It
is the very same big cities that have the strictest gun bans that experience
the most gun violence. Chicago, Washington, D.C., New York, Baltimore, etc.,
etc. Yet places such as North Dakota and Montana, where nearly everyone owns at least one firearm, experience
virtually no gun violence.
If food
was banned, criminals would still eat. When liquor was banned, criminals not
only continued to drink, they became deeply involved in the manufacture and
distribution of alcohol, as well. (And the law itself made many otherwise good
people criminals). Gun control works in much the same way, but is far more
tragic. It effectively ensures that only criminals have guns. Gun-free zones
are nothing but “safe spaces” for criminals. They can ply their trade without
fear of confrontation.
When
you take away firearms from law-abiding people, you take away their ability to
defend themselves and their family. You take away their ability to have some control
over their own lives and make it easier for the government to abuse them. You
take away their freedom.
And
that is all “gun control” is about.
