Many people in America, especially those who fervently push for gun control, have the idea that people don’t need guns to protect themselves and their families because law enforcement will be there to keep them safe.
Now, aside from the blindingly obvious fact that law enforcement simply can’t physically be in every place at all times to prevent crimes from happening, it’s simply an absurd thing to believe.
Why do I say that? Simple really. Just look at how many times Federal law enforcement officials have known about criminals, have even investigated them, but haven’t stopped those criminals from committing horrible crimes.
Including more than one school shooting incident. Parkland was one that immediately comes to mind, and the recent shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia is another one of those situations. From the BlazeTV Staff:
“This is the information that the FBI had months before the shooting,” Glenn [Beck] says, noting that the mother has a lengthy rap sheet, including abuse of her children. The shooter’s aunt, Annie Brown, also told the Washington Post that her nephew was struggling with mental health issues and had been “begging for help from everyone around him.”
“So I want to ask. Why do we have an FBI? Why do we have one? You know they’re spying on us illegally for our own safety, but I don’t think it is for our safety, you know, cause they’re not protecting us,” he says, explaining that many of the shooters who carried out mass shootings were also already on the FBI’s radar.
“FBI missed signals in four mass shootings. What the hell are they doing?” Glenn asks.
That last question is a question that all Americans should be asking, along with asking why we have Federal law enforcement at all if they aren’t going to protect Americans, especially children, from known threats.
Now, maybe there were legitimate reasons that haven’t been released to the public as to why the shooter in this situation wasn’t picked up before the crimes were committed. If that is the case, then, I’d love to hear what those reasons are just to counteract my growing cynicism about the effectiveness of Federal law enforcement, especially under the Biden-Harris administration.
And gun control advocates think that this same FBI is going to protect them from mass shooters and other criminals.
That thinking just doesn’t add up to me, and that’s why I say that you should be trained and always carrying your firearm. That way, you won’t be disappointed when your non-existent expectations that the government can protect you are let down.
