Jacksonville Sheriff Identifies the Real Cause of Violence, Not GunsSpencer Brown
August 28, 2023
In the wake of a shooting at a Jacksonville, Florida, Dollar General on Saturday, Sheriff T.K. Waters delivered an important reminder about what — or who specifically — is to blame for the tragic loss of life.
"The story is always about guns," Sheriff Waters commented at a press conference of media coverage following the weekend shooting. Rather than the gun being the root of the problem, however, Waters argued, "people are bad."
"This guy's a bad guy," Sheriff Waters continued of the gunman who's been identified as someone who acted on a "disgusting ideology of hate" against black people, according to Waters. "If I could take my gun off right now, and lay it on this counter, nothing will happen," said the sheriff. "It will sit there," he added.
"But, as soon as a wicked person grabs ahold of that handgun and starts shooting people with it, there's the problem," continued Sheriff Waters. "The problem is the individual."

Firearms can be used by the "wicked" people Sheriff Waters invoked to further their wicked ways, or they can be used to save lives and stop such wicked individuals. It all depends on who is using the firearm and, in a reality Democrats deny, wicked people don't care whether their firearms are legal. That's why law-abiding firearm owners are a necessary check on and deterrent against a "wicked person" and any weapon they may wield: a firearm, a knife, a brick, their fists, a car, etc.
