Ignore #NeverAgain

 

“We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” — Ronald Reagan

As RR’s quote above reminds us, it has been ever thus. The usual suspects (Bloomberg, Soros, Moore, etc.) are now dragging some teenagers out to be their front-men in their renewed assault on the West. All free-thinking people should simply ignore them. There is no more basis to strip us of the right of self-defense now than there was before this mass killing. It is only the Left that reaches precisely the opposite of the reasonable conclusion. Just when we need to be prepared more than ever to self-defend, the Left wants to strip us of the ability. Just like they want to gut the right to free speech and to free exercise at the moment that it is needed most.

    No surprise. The left all over the world are on the one hope they have: damage America any way you can. America is almost alone able and willing to stand against the Marxists of the world.

    They really show their cards when they have the kids march on the state capital demanding a legislative solution.  Constitution? What Constitution?

    When they get on board with the campaign to hold a Convention of the States so they can propose an amendment to the 2A, on that day I might show them a little respect.

    I disagree.  We should not ignore, we should push back.  Who created gun free zones full of potential victims?  Who grabs for political power every time one of these tragedies occur?  Why don’t we do some dot connecting of our own and point out that the Progressives propose impossible solutions because they ensure a never ending stream of tragedies that can parlayed into power grabs.

    Among the many things these teenagers have not learned is Mencken’s Law

    “For every problem there is a solution – neat, plausible, and wrong.”

    The Left means to rule, and they cannot do that with an armed populace. Col. Schlichter has the right of it: “Remember, the Left hates you and wants to kill you. Act accordingly.”

    And yet Reagan eventually supported The Brady Bill, which means that he was for the guilt of society after he was against it, at least when it applied to the time he was shot.
