I've been watching Fox News this morning (like most mornings.)
As this tragedy is being more skeptically analyzed, MORE and MORE of the discussion is turning TOWARDS empowerment of lawful citizens to defend themselves and others.
Earlier a survivor of the Lubby's massacre was on discussing the merits of CCW. Just now, a spokesman was discussing the benefit if responsible students were able to carry.
Sure, the Antis and much of the MSM are screaming for Gun Control Legislation. Do you expect ANY different from ANY of them? If I got a splinter in my hand, they would somehow tie it to my Glock 19.
They GOT the massacre they were hoping for-- and NOW they are making hay while the sun shines on them.
What is MORE important is the evidence that the country isn't buying it. In the aftermath of a tragedy, you expect to hear the emotional, knee-jerk reactions--and typically they will be disproportiante in coverage for a while.
However, we are seeing the message of EMPOWERMENT offered repeatedly as a solution-- NOT the disarmament that the antis so desperately want.
We are so fast to lose faith. America seems to be changing. We have seen the failures of the anti's arguements. We know that thier only solution is "Dial 911 and Die." We know that their solution is NOT a solution.
And they are learning that their message is falling on deaf ears. As much as they wish it were not so, the antis are beginning to realize that our society is more interested in REAL solutions and not their fantasy world of Care Bears and group hugs.
Please do not give up faith! We only fail when we stop repeating our message. WE are the stewards of our Forefathers' vision. We must be diligent against those who seek to remold the fabric of this country based on whatever way the winds blow that day.
Read the negative, but don't get any on you!
