And the reason why we are having such aN issue is at the base of our view of government. We look at this and go the government is part of the problem. We don’t think of using the government to try to fix a crazy people problem. On the other side of the spectrum are the leftist who think that they can modify behavior by controlling things. Of course, very few of them on guns so to them this is a zero cost solution.
The right doesn’t try to pass laws after these events, because we know that the government is not going to provide the solution for this. If we were going to law our way out of violence, we would’ve done it a long time ago. But the left thinks that we just need more and more laws. They even now started saying that the laws don’t work, but you just need to step on stacking more and more laws on, till you’re in affect waterboarding society to prevent these violent acts.
The fact that this guy live streamed it is just screaming that this is not a thing problem, this is a values in people problem. Of course the left can’t admit that because they have been driving the culture since the 1960s. They are reaping what they sow and they’re even doubling down on it with like the new mayor in Chicago, it’s human nature as you get older to turn on the institutions that promised you better things, but couldn’t provide them. I really do wonder what’s going to happen when the kids of the day enter their middle in later ages and start to get very disenfranchised with their progressive leaders .
I was going to say this, but you beat me to it. We’ve gone beyond pushing entitlement to pushing sadism and cruelty as values. That’s why this is happening.
