The History Of Mass Shootings That Needs To Be Heard Before People Demand More Gun Control

by Suzanne Hamner, Freedom Outpost:

Until the government noose is loosened from around the necks of the citizens and the “nanny police state” abolished, anti-constitutionalists and government will continue the “look, squirrel” method of distraction to prevent focus on who is causing the problem and what exactly that problem is.

Yesterday, the united States suffered another mass shooting incident in a school in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 students.  Right on cue, anti-constitutionalists called for the government to implement a solution in the form of gun control.  Activist actors, like Michael Keaton, used social media to blame the shooting on the “weak disgusting” NRA and Republicans, as well as five other shootings occurring since Columbine High School in 1999.  At a candlelight vigil in Parkland for the shooting victims at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, chants of “no more gun” broke out.  The Associated Press declared the suspected shooter, Nikolas Cruz, belonged to a “white nationalist group” when no evidence exists to support such a claim.  Moreover, a report claimed the FBI received a warning about Cruz in September 2017 when a comment on a YouTube video, using the name “Nikolas Cruz,” stated, “I’m going to be a professional school shooter.”

Does a pattern emerge here similar to other mass shootings and/or bombings since 1999?  Yes, it does.  The outline above makes it clear.  Unfortunately, many citizens are not getting it.

One clear point in the majority of these incidences is the federal law enforcement agency known as the FBI had warning, yet dropped the ball in its investigations.

Now, many would like to focus on the FBI dropping the ball because of the “politicization” and bias exhibited by high-ranking FBI officials against constitutionalists, Donald Trump, individual God-given unalienable rights, Christians, patriots, and a plethora of other “labels.”

But, some citizens already know where the federal and some state governments stand when it comes to the Second Amendment, meaning the inaction of the FBI is no surprise.

Moreover, each time an incident like this occurs, some people, government officials, celebrity activists, and some in the lamestream enemedia call for government to provide a solution in the form of violating individual God-given unalienable rights – no surprise there either.

So, if we assume the underlying problem in mass shootings is firearms, the assumed solution is gun control or gun confiscation by the government – a government that failed to address a threat about which it received warning.

But, the assumption the underlying problem in mass shootings is firearms is incorrect and downright false.

It does serve an agenda – confiscation of guns means government and anti-constitutionalists have full control of the people to implement any injustice seen fit to serve its own needs.

It’s called subjugation that leads to democide.

As a society, are we comfortable blaming inanimate objects for the actions of an individual?  Anti-constitutionalists are but only when it involves firearms.  There is no call for vehicle confiscation when an individual driving drunk kills another individual in a car accident.  The individual is held responsible.  What about killings involving knives?  No one calls for knife control or confiscation.  The reason given for not blaming cars, knives or any other inanimate object, excluding firearms, for another’s death is usually cars and knives are not instruments of mass murder – these objects don’t murder multiple individuals in a short period of time and don’t instill the fear in many like firearms do.

Society has a very short memory.  How long have firearms been in this republic?  Firearms have been in this republic since before this land was a republic.  How long have mass shootings involving firearms been occurring, outside of the mafia wars during the Capone era?  According to mysanantonio.com, the first occurred in 1949 when Army veteran Howard Unruh killed 13 people while walking in his neighborhood in Camden, New Jersey.  This was shortly after World War II.  It took until 1966, 17 years, for the second incident to occur at the University of Texas in Austin.  The third incident occurred 18 years later in 1984, with the fourth incident happening in 1986.  Looking at the timeline, these mass shooting started occurring more frequently with Columbine in 1999.  So, can we really conclude that firearms are the issue when history shows the united States has only recently experienced an uptick in mass shootings involving firearms?  Anti-constitutionalists and politicians would like for the public to believe it is because of firearms;  however, it isn’t.
