“Now is the time to find common ground,” said President Donald Trump in his remarks at the NRA convention on Friday. But that is of course not what has happened. Just as with the Buffalo shooting, the scene in Uvalde was still active, and many parents were still waiting to hear about their children when Democrats and the press POUNCED on blaming not just guns, but Republicans in general and Donald Trump and Ted Cruz specifically for the carnage.
At the convention, which Trump was not intimidated into avoiding, he nailed it on this.
“Sadly, before the sun had even set on the horrible day of tragedy, we witnessed a now familiar parade of cynical politicians seeking to exploit the tears of sobbing families to increase their own power and take away our constitutional rights,” he said. “Every time a disturbed or demented person commits such a hideous crime, there’s always a grotesque effort by some in our society to use the suffering of others to advance their own extreme political agenda.
“Even more repulsive is their rush to shift blame away from the villains who commit acts of mass violence and to place that blame onto the shoulders of millions of peaceful, law-abiding citizens who belong to organizations such as our wonderful NRA,” he said.
“When Joe Biden blamed the gun lobby, he was talking about Americans like you, and along with countless other Democrats this week, he was shamefully suggesting that Republicans are somehow okay with letting school shootings happen. They’re not okay with it. This rhetoric is highly divisive and dangerous, and most importantly, it’s wrong. It has no place in our politics. As always, in the wake of these tragedies, the various gun control policies being pushed by the left would have done nothing to prevent the horror that took place. Absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, ever since Columbine, we’ve been afflicted by a contagion of school shootings carried out by deeply evil, violent and mentally disturbed young men.
Well, we don’t yet know enough about this week’s killing. We know there are many things we must do. We need to drastically change our approach to mental health. There are always so many warning signs. Almost all of these disfigured minds share the same profile. When people see something, whether on social media or in school, they need to say something. Teachers, parents, school officials and community members need to be recognizing and addressing these alarm bells promptly and very, very aggressively. And our school discipline systems, instead of making excuses and continually turning a blind eye, need to confront bad behavior head on and quickly.”
This was so well-said, and so important, and won’t only be ignored by the left and the MSM, they will actively and agressively do the opposite.
Democrats are the enemies of children. Time and time again they prove it. They will continue to exploit school shootings to raise money, and will never ever take any actual action to prevent them. Because that would end the gravy train.
Feel free to talk about them and that digusting behavior below, or whatever else.
Consider this an OPEN THREAD.
