Another School Shooting and Democrats Can Only Blame Guns

The story out of Nashville is hard to watch.  A Christian school attacked by an ex-student who held a grudge.  The student was a transgender man dressed like a woman.  Of course the Democrats don’t ever want to talk about rising crime due to mental illness, fatherlessness, drug abuse and the collapse of the family, hopelessness, depression, suicidal teen girls who believe their only hope is to post half-naked pictures of themselves on Tik Tok.  Nope!  They only want to talk about guns, and most of them don’t know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun.  They also want to say Republicans “don’t care about our children!”, while telling the lie that Democrat policies have nothing to do with rising crime.  If you can stomach it, read the article below from MSNBC which is Democrat red meat.

Satan is destroying our country and there no longer seems to be enough Holy Spirit filled individuals left to restrain the evil that’s breaking out all over.  The fear of the Lord has largely vanished and without it there can be no wisdom, no knowledge and all the thinking done is futile and foolish.

On Monday, Americans were forced to relive the horrors of another school shooting, this one in Nashville. The cycle of “thoughts and prayers” is laughably insufficient. So, too, is the rhetoric on safe schools and protecting our children. Because the truth is that lawmakers, especially GOP lawmakers, are only concerned about certain crime. They have gerrymandered the boundaries of that concern, excluding aspects that would illuminate our bloody reality. 

There are effectively three main components to school shootings: the guns that are used, the people who use them (and those who are subsequently victimized), and the schools where the shootings occur. Republicans are very protective of their guns — more than they are of the children and educators forced to leave in fear of these weapons. We have considered ideas like bulletproof shelters in classrooms and arming teachers; these are on top of sad but necessary steps like active shooter drills. Even as there will always be an outpouring of empathy for communities that experience tragedy, there can be no question that the proper prescription here is preventative, and yet we refuse to abandon our current reactionary approach. 

We have known ever since Sandy Hook that the double-speak around school shootings in America is engagingly duplicitous. No amount of bloodshed appears capable of moving the needle — at least in the Republican Party, which now controls the House and almost half of the Senate (to say nothing of the legislative bodies in states like Tennessee). These men and women refuse to take meaningful steps to protect our youth.

And importantly, we now understand even more clearly that the feigned concern about crime that overtook the nation’s airwaves in the summer of 2022 was just a passing moment for the right. Crime stats are only worth mobilizing around when they fit a specific narrative, namely that Democrats are soft on criminals.

Because mass murder against children is an inevitable cost of doing business.
