Uvalde Mass Shooting

“UVALDE, Tex. — The gunman who opened fire at an elementary school here shared his intentions to carry out an attack in private social media messages shortly before slaughtering at least 19 children and two adults, officials said Wednesday.”

It goes without saying – it still has to be said – that the killing of innocent lives is unfortunate and absolutely evil. Regardless of the reasons that some defective demented soul looks at a 9-year-old child and pulls the trigger to end an innocent life – evil is involved. Politicians on both sides have come out to condemn the deaths and then very quickly throw politics and agendas into the mix.  There’s one thing that is easy to understand in this insanity:

Evil exists. Period.

Evil has existed for many millenniums.  It has taken brave men and women to stand up and combat those with evil intentions to keep the masses safe. People have had to take responsibility for themselves and their families – or suffer the consequences. Evil sometimes touches the lives of very few, and other times countless millions. The battle between good and evil has always existed and will always exist.

While pundits, politicians, and the media make demands to restrict citizens from owning firearms, criminals and evil-doers laugh as they know what the rest of us know – laws do not apply to those who ignore them. Politicians will promote laws that will do nothing….zero – to stop evil. Any new laws will absolutely impact law-abiding citizens all the while decreasing safety and creating more victims.

Selective outrage is not a reason to step on people’s rights and freedoms.

Stay safe.
