Lessons Learned From the Mass Murder
I honestly didn’t think anyone could be more delusional than Amy Schumer who believed her threat to leave the country if Donald Trump won would sway voters. (Well, in a way she was right. I think that alone picked up a couple hundred thousand votes for Trump.) But it turns out there’s someone even more delusional than Schumer: corporate America.
Hertz pulled its corporate ties with the NRA this week, and now I won’t get a discount anymore. Well, that does it – I’ve changed my mind. I want more gun control! Heck, if we allow total gun confiscation, maybe we’ll get an even better car rental rate!
There’s currently a raft of companies deserting the NRA in the hopes of gaining some points in the marketplace. I suggest these companies look up Smith & Wesson to see the effect that supporting gun control will have on their business. That’ll be a lesson learned for sure.
It turns out there are a lot of lessons to be learned from the recent mass murder in Parkland, Florida.
The very first “lesson” being shoved in the public’s face was that we need more gun control. This was to be expected. After every mass murder, the liberal press immediately begins pushing the idea that new “sensible gun laws” are the only way to prevent the next tragedy.
But we know that’s not the real lesson here, especially since the shooter should never have been able to get his hands on a gun, to begin with.
This whole tragedy was preventable if not for the total incompetence of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI. Both organizations had more than enough advanced warning that the shooter was likely going to commit such a crime, and no one acted on it. It turns out the gunman was well known to the Sheriff’s Department. Police allegedly received 45 calls regarding the shooter or his family since 2008, yet no action was ever taken in response.
