Hey, Liberals, your kids are now safer in Iraq then in a gun-free zone. How d'ya like them apples? You ought to, it's your crop of apples.
With an unbridled mania to banish guns from every corner of civilization, you have successfully placed every American at risk for attack by any mentally bent flesh-bag with a grudge.
I use the phrase flesh-bag on purpose, by the way, because inside your government re-education camps you call schools there is no God, ergo no soul, hence no heaven or hell, and thus no eternal accountability. We are the captains of our own souls, and no pretty poem or ethics class can replace the weight of conviction that comes from the knowledge of an Eternal Creator God.
The fact that we are now a secular society and are actively persecuting any open expression of faith has contributed to this climate of violence and instability. You have only to look to the Religious Lefts constant and unyielding devotion to the dark death arts of abortion and euthanasia to see clearly what secularism concludes with, and it is the same thing as the Garden of Eden: Death, both spiritual and physical. Think about it, people are urged today to not have kids because of the environmental carbon impact they will have! The earth is more important to these freaks than life itself.
The church shirking her duty as a contentious defender of truth contributes to this climate as well. Instead of following the Lords example in Mt 10:34 - "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword," they are embracing the universalist Emergent faith which sees nothing at all wrong with embracing a weak brew of ancient liberalism in the name of post-modernism. I say a weak brew, since at least ancient liberalism makes definitive statements about life, while the Emergents question everything (including their own questions). These modern “Christians” only have two fundamentals: No definitive truth exists or can be known, and a penchant for hearing themselves speak. They are as meaningless as the society they seek to impact.
Leftists will claim that all we need is an armed security force to protect us. Wow, you mean a greater government presence, bigger expense and further control of their "subjects"? What a unique approach from a liberal! There is a problem with this, of course. If only the Police have guns, then 1) How far away are they when you need them? 2) Who is watching them? What if they go bad and abuse their position of power? Throw pine cones at them? The second amendment exists to protect us from the government, not to go pheasant hunting in Maine( I realize, of course, that it is extremely rare for a governing body to become corrupt in the course of history and treat their people unfairly, so let’s just pretend it happens from time to time).
Guns, once again, are not the cause of this tragedy; they are part of the solution to it. A lack of courage is, however, the core problem. One question should haunt us: Why wasn't he killed during reloading? I could kill a murdering madman with a pen a pinch! Any time a person can reload, that means he took time off from shooting, and too many people died because of a "Gun-Free Zone" wouldn't allow good people with guns to defend people, and it means that unarmed people lacked the training, courage and initiative to attack evil head on.
In conclusion, I fear that the die is cast for the future. With a belligerent hatred for God's truth, men will view themselves as a soulless mixture of genetic soup with no higher accountability, and society will see more of these mass murders occurring. With a church hell bent on conforming to the world instead of challenging it, the only solution will be to increase government control and presence while limiting individual rights to self defense and to gun ownership.
Of course, we could just put up signs declaring a gun free zone, and solve all our problems. It always astounds me when deranged murderers just flagrantly ignore "No Concealed Weapons" signs! Just another emergent mystery I suppose.
