Usually when an attacker targets a number of people, the media screams for gun control but after two recent attacks, they hardly said a word. The attacks were briefly mentioned and then ignored. The reason was that the attackers did not use guns. One used a knife while the other threw flammable liquid on the people. When a shooting occurs, the media and Democrats rush to call for a ban on guns but they ignore the fact that a number of tragic shootings have been cut short by security guards or citizens with permits to carry guns who risked their life confronting the shooter and were able to take him down and prevent further bloodshed. While the law used to protect homeowners that defended themselves, their families, and their property, the law in many States has been corrupted to punish gunowners who try to stop an attacker and gunowners risk jail time and heavy fines in trying to stop an attacker. While those seeking to ban guns claim it will reduce gun deaths, gun deaths actually increase since the criminals still have guns and don’t have to be afraid that they will be confronted by someone with a gun. As a result, other States have passed laws protecting those who use guns in self defense. The goal is to ban guns in the hands of ordinary citizens so they can not resist a government takeover by those who want to seize control of the government. It was a favorite tactic of Hitler, Stalin, and other dictators.
