And..... has become the best argument for gun ownership I can think of. When the cops can't (or won't) protect you, you must arm and protect yourself.
And no one is advocating that you be denied the ability to protect yourself. That's a straw man, and a canard.
Government and law enforcement's refusal to act to protect citizens has also revealed and exposed their true agenda. A diabolical leftist one.
Law enforcement isn't perfect, and it's job really isn't to prevent crime but to track down the perpetrators. That's simple reality - unless you want the police to be in your face all the time. Suggesting that the failure to stop Nicholas Cruz represents a "diabolical leftist agenda" rather than an old-fashioned screw-up is head-up-your-arse bullshit.
Those of us who seek efficacious solutions have proposed more than a few - including the adoption of laws permitting gun violence restraining orders that could, on the information available about the violent and anti-social Mr. Cruz, have denied him not only the right to purchase more guns, but allowed the police to take away the guns he already had in his possession.
Stop spouting your paranoid nonsense and get on board with responsible conservatives who seek real, effective solutions to the epidemic of gun violence in this country that are compatible with the RKBA.
