It's not about guns

After such a horrific terrorist attack, the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, one might think the left would put their “disarm everyone so only the criminals have guns” agenda on hold for a day or two. No such luck. Obama and all of his minions, including Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, immediately jumped on the gun control bandwagon and blamed this monstrous event on the guns! Not the shooter. Not Islamic terrorism, those two words Obama refuses to utter. This is beyond pathetic. By now it should be obvious to every person on the planet that this is insane! What if this piece of pond scum had used a bomb or his Ford F150 pickup, or had wielded a Samurai sword to kill and maim all those people? Oh dear. What would Obama have had to say about that? He would have had to rely on his “hate crime” mantra and would not have been able to juice up his speech with his anti-gun nonsense.

When will the left get it through their thick skulls that the bad guys will get, will always, always, always have guns? It is only an armed citizenry that can stop the lunatics with murder in mind. It is the unarmed citizens who are, by government mandate, the sitting ducks, cannon fodder for the likes of Omar Mateen, Nidal Hasan, and the countless other monsters like them. Had Pulse Orlando had even one armed security guard, something like an air marshal, a sober, armed expert sitting at the bar, the terrorist calling out his allegiance to ISIS might have been taken out in the first thirty seconds. Instead, the police waited three hours before entering the club to take him out. While anyone can understand not wanting to put law enforcement at risk, three hours seems an awfully long time to dilly-dally, discussing options with a homicidal psychopath. Many of those who had been shot initially might have been saved were it not for an attempt to “negotiate” with the madman. So afraid to kill perpetrators are the politicians who set the rules of engagement for our law enforcement personnel, they are forced to err on the side of protecting the criminal rather than his victims. Would the Israelis wait three hours to rescue hostages held by a murderous thug? Not on your life. No way such a situation would have lasted three hours in Israel. Israelis have an absolute grasp on the word “murderous” and what it means. For the left to make this gruesome event about guns betrays their shallow, callow capitulation to their own ideology. We already knew they place no premium on human life. This was not about guns! It was about pure evil. In the end, it is about denying the obvious: radical Islamists mean to kill us all, and Obama and his ilk are paving the way for them to succeed.
