IT'S TIME TO ABOLISH GUN-FREE ZONES
Exactly
how many more innocent, unarmed teachers and students need to be slaughtered on
a school campus before people get angry enough to demand that the Nevada Legislature
abolish these absolutely insane gun-free zones?
The
recent shooting at the Sparks Middle School is particularly infuriating. One teacher was shot and killed. Two students were shot and seriously
wounded. And it could have been a lot
worse if the kid with the gun had decided to keep shooting other kids instead
of killing himself.
Here’s
the most outrageous part of this. The
murdered teacher, Michael Landsberry, was a trained U.S. Marine who served two
tours in Afghanistan and was a member of the Nevada Air National Guard. So we’re talking about a man thoroughly
trained in the use of weapons who we completely trusted with our national
security.
And
yet Nevada’s Legislature didn’t trust Michael Landsberry enough to allow him
the means necessary to protect himself and dozens of 7th- and 8th-graders
on that school playground that fateful morning.
As such, this trained military veteran was forced to confront an armed
assailant with nothing more than two empty, outstretched hands and the hope
that he could talk the kid down.
Instead,
Michael Landsberry was gunned down.
And
while everyone is clearly saddened by the loss of this extraordinary American
hero and family man, I hope that sadness eventually turns into blood-boiling
rage. Because this man didn’t deserve to die and he didn’t need to die. He at least deserved a fighting chance to
defend himself and those students by being allowed, if he had so chosen, to
carry a weapon with him to work, as countless other Nevadans do every single
day throughout the state.
Michael
Landsberry’s death is on the heads of every pontificating, self-righteous,
anti-gun member of the Nevada Legislature who supports the continuation of
these gun-free zones and who opposed the common sense “campus carry” bills that
were introduced in both the 2011 and 2013 legislative sessions.
Here’s
an undeniable truth: Disturbed students, crazy people and bad guys don’t give a
(expletive) about gun control laws that say they shouldn’t possess a gun or
take one into a gun-free zone. If they
want a gun they’ll get a gun, regardless of whether or not they can pass a
background check.
As
such, the fact is “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with
a gun.” And the only way to potentially
prevent school playgrounds and classrooms from becoming shooting galleries in
the future is to allow responsible, properly trained adults the means to protect
themselves and our children when a merchant of death comes knocking at the
schoolyard gate.
It’s
time to abolish these insane gun-free zones.
God
bless you and rest in peace, Mr. Landsberry.
Semper Fi.
RALSTON RETORTS!
In
his Morning Flash e-newsletter on
Wednesday, Jon Ralston - Nevada’s #2
liberal blogger and apparently GOP lieutenant governor candidate Mark Hutchison’s communications
director – mocked the host committee list for a fundraising event for
Hutchison’s primary opponent, Sue Lowden. Ralston wrote…
How
does she make that case?
By
comparing their voting records, that’s how.
For example, Lowden opposes raising taxes, and her record shows
that. Hutch supports raising taxes, and
his record shows that. What part of this
is too difficult for Ralston to understand?
But
wait…oops!
Later
in the day Ralston was forced to acknowledge that Hutchison had more than twice
as many “Republicans for Reid” backers on his own kick-off fundraiser last
month…17 to be exact. Oh, and Hutchison
has a record of donating to Democrats, too.
Talk
about having egg on your face!
Trying
to use Lowden’s host committee list to somehow “prove” she isn’t a conservative
was, well, Jon just being a dick again.

BILBRAY FILES
Last
night, liberal Democrat Erin Bilbray
did her first television interview since officially entering the race for
Nevada’s 3rd congressional district last July, and while poised and
composed, it didn’t go well. I’ll deconstruct
various parts of the interview over the coming days but this much we know for
sure…
Liberal
Erin Bilbray does NOT like being called a liberal. In fact, liberal Erin Bilbray went out of her
way in the interview to deny being a liberal and claimed to be a “moderate Nevada
Democrat.” So whatever you do, please do
not refer to liberal Erin Bilbray as liberal Erin Bilbray because liberal Erin
Bilbray wants everyone to think that liberal Erin Bilbray is actually a
moderate and not a liberal. Got it?
Something
tells me we’re going to be exploring this line of thought a lot in the coming
days.
I
wonder where she stands on the Kirner Tax?
