Although I had intended not to comment about the tragic shooting in Orlando, I will put in my two cents worth. First, it is truly a tragic event and should be condemned by everyone. But, it has already become a political point that is ridiculous.
Resident Obama refuses to recognize that radical Islam is real, but as expected has turned his focus to gun control. To paraphrase what he had to say, “All Muslims should not be judged by the actions of a few. But all gun owners should be judged by the actions of a few.”
My point is, as it has always been, gun control is not the issue in this or any other horrific mass killing of people. The Second Amendment was put into effect so citizens can protect themselves. Unless, we are willing to provide at least one police officer per citizen, there can be no protection, not even then.
There are evil people in the world. They want to kill other people for whatever reason. Reality is that there is nothing anyone can do about it, but be prepared to defend one’s self. And, even that will not always work.
Yes, we should take steps to prevent shootings like this one. But, the answer is not taking guns away from law abiding citizens.
That’s punishing the victims for a crazed killers action.
