One of the basic ideas behind gun control laws is the thought that governments and government officials will be able to keep track of all of the firearms that are out in society. Supporters of gun control believe that the government, which is run by fallible people, will be able to be omniscient and always able to know where a firearm is.
Of course, that’s nonsense. Just look at any anti-2A “paradise” like Chicago or Baltimore or huge parts of California.
But some folks may argue that those areas are big, and that it’s hard to keep track of so many small firearms (because they aren’t very big compared to, say, cars, or other things) in such a big area. To which I would answer, “You’re just proving my point that governments can’t keep track of all firearms.”
But let’s be nice and see if they can keep track of guns in an area much smaller than a large city or state. How about in a school? An elementary school. Just one grade. Even one class. Even one six year old’s backpack. Can government officials track guns that six year olds carry into the school in their backpacks?
You decide after reading this story. Lorenz Duchamps writes,
An official at the Virginia school where a 6-year-old student brought a 9mm pistol in a backpack and allegedly shot his teacher suspected the child possessed a firearm before the shooting transpired, but the official failed to find it in a search, according to a superintendent.
Duchamps continues:
On Friday, the superintendent’s comments were confirmed by Michelle Price, a spokesperson for the school district.
“The superintendent has shared that the student’s backpack was searched and nothing was found at the time,” Price told The Associated Press, noting that she was not told where school administrators suspect the pistol was hidden at the time the backpack was searched.
That’s right, a six year old brought a gun to school in their backpack which was searched, but the school personnel didn’t find the gun, so, that kid was able to shoot a teacher.
If school personnel (who are government officials, by the way) can’t find a gun that a six year old carried on their person to school, how much of an anti-gun brain fart does a person have to have to believe that governments can prevent gun violence with gun control laws?
It’s, quite literally, delusional to think that governments have the ability to do that. They can’t, and that’s why gun control fails time and time again when put into place for the “purpose” of preventing gun violence.
“government officials will be able to keep track of all [legally owned by law abiding citizens] firearms” – That’s indeed a solution, but not to the violence committed by lawbreakers. The safety it engenders benefits the criminals and killers. It reduces on-the-job injury risk. It’s Progressives protecting thieves, terrorists and rioters – their constituents.
What would have been better, for the Lib’s Plan to work, is to teach all the grades K and First to learn to read and then have them read their gun control laws, and that of course, will stop this, right? I mean, the only reason this kid did this, is because he hadn’t yet read their gun control laws, surely.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms. Shall not be infringed upon! What gun control? They only attack law abiding citizens. All these anti-gun laws and ammo laws? Only attack law abiding citizens only! Insane murdering criminals etc.. Do not obey any and all gun laws period! It doesn’t affect any law breaking nut job criminals period! As a matter of fact! They love gun laws! It disarms law abiding citizens only! Who will not be able to defend themselves or their families! But. Make it. Lot easier for criminals to assault and murder innocent law abiding citizens. Especially. In “Free Gun Zones!” Oops! Just look At Democratic Blue State statistics! They gave no arguments! There’s a reason the 2A is in the Constitution! Well… We have a Tyrannical Government at this time! So what was the 2A put their fir? It wasn’t for hunting! I guess? It depends on how you put it? That’s my opinion.
Well… Why ask for a comment? Then censor it because I tell the truth? So it doesn’t agree with your narrative. So you censor it! Unreal.
Ya…………just like the government is controling illegal drugs
The ONLY REASON Government want’s to take our gun’s is FEAR. They’re afraid of losing CONTROL via another 1776 revolution.So the first and second amendment’s are the only two things that prevent them from TOTAL CONTROL and that’s why they’re working so hard to eliminate them. It has NOTHING to do about SAFETY, unless it’s their SAFETY.
