Three Minutes

Nik Cruz fired at his victims for three uninterrupted minutes at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

He had an AR-15-pattern rifle (a Smith and Wesson M&P15) – but with three uninterrupted minutes, he could easily have killed that many people with any garden-variety handgun, a hunting rifle, a shotgun – anything.

Unless…

…unless one person – a teacher, a principal, a freaking janitor – had put some lead in his general direction.   Broken him out of his narcissistic reverie with even the imminent threat of lethal resistance.

One lousy shot.  Just one.

Think of the lives that oculd’ve been saved.

But no.  To assuage the neo-religious faith that disarming the law-abiding hinders criminals, every adult in the building, like every adult at every school shooting (with two exceptions – here and here). ever.

I’m done playing nice with the gun grabbers.

  1. This is going to be an ugly fight, but we can’t get soft now. My congressman is Steve Knight, and I am going to write and call his office, and be polite but firm, in saying the people understand that the problem isn’t that more laws are needed. I urge you all to contact your Representatives today.

    Ive already heard this morning B Nelson (d) say the two weapons we need to ban are the ar-15 and the Sig-Sauer. I wonder if someone will tell him that the “Sig-Sauer” is a company.

    Yesterday Dennis Prager read an op-ed out of the LA Slimes, and the writer actually asked: would it really have been better if a teacher had been armed at this school, and had intervened and only 8 died, would that really be better? Are you kidding me?

  2. Reminds me of a life lesson I learned a while back. While walking on a beach, my friend would spot live clams, pick them up and throw them back in the water. When I asked why he was doing this, since it does not matter in the big scheme of things called the circle of life, his simple reply was, “It matters to that clam”. It stuck with me forever. It is a simple lesson, and yet libturds are so blinded by ideology and hatred of all things they do not approve of, the have lost the empathy and ability to think and comprehend even that. One would argue they have lost that something that identifies them as human. Groupthink is more dangerous than any gun or nuclear or biological weapon.

  3. It’s coming near the time to quit calling them “gun free zones” and start referring to them as “slaughter zones”.

    I live rural where we have volunteer fire departments/firefighters. Couldn’t we have volunteer vetted, trained, and armed folks to protect our schools?

    I’ve got a suggestion as to what we could call them. We could call them “carry permit holders.”

    Or “citizens”.

    As opposed to “subjects”.
