Betsy Devos Bombs On “Guns in School”

Being a conservative and not understanding the applicability of guns in American society is like being a sports analyst with no athletic experience.

Many “conservative” elites in policy making pay lip service to the idea of the Second Amendment because, as conservatives, they are obligated to a prima facie support of the Constitution.

In reality most elites, conservative or liberal, have no idea why our founders insisted we have unobstructed access to firearms of our choosing. 

If asked they fall back on rehearsed answers about the right to self-defense or hunting, neither of which are mentioned in the 27 words of the Second Amendment. (1) 

Betsy Devos, Donald Trump's pick to head the Department of Education, demonstrated her ignorance about guns in American society earlier today when pelted with questions by anti-gun Senator Christopher Murphy of Connecticut.

Devos' response was bewildering considering Murphy gave her so much rope to hang him with and because no bear, grizzly, black, or brown, has ever attempted an active shooting in a federally-mandated gun free public school.

In all seriousness Devos, had she any practical or philosophical experience with firearms, could have boiled Murphy in his own water with any of the following responses: 

"Well, Mr. Murphy, school resource officers are armed with guns. Are you suggesting armed law enforcement officers not protect our school children." 

"Well, Mr. Murphy, some states authorize public school teachers to receive CLEET certification to protect their students from active shootings with guns. Are you suggesting armed citizens with law enforcement training not protect our school children from active shooters?"

"Well, Mr. Murphy, had one teacher at Sandy Hook been armed with a gun she could have killed Adam Lanza as he smashed his way into that elementary school, which was on lock down. Instead, a federal mandate that you support prevented any Sandy Hook teacher from being armed and, as a result, twenty children were murdered as they screamed for their parents. So, yes, Mr. Murphy. I can say, definitively today, that guns should be in schools." 

Instead Betsy Devos choked at Senator Murphy's questions, ending her response with an apology for the "gun violence" that rocked Connecticut in December 2012. (2)

Very disappointing. "Sad!"

 Footnotes:

1. Ask your state and federal representatives why the Second Amendment exists.  Their response will likely be anything but "defense from tyranny of the state", unless they are Libertarian or members of the Tea Party. 

2. No gun, in the global history of firearms, has ever committed an act of violence. Guns, despite pronouncements of the left, are inanimate objects that cannot function without human intervention. 

The State Will Not Protect You: Ft. Lauderdale Active Shooting Rampage

-Gun free zones and open borders are killing scores of innocent Americans. 

-The PC Left has more blood on its hands than ISIS. 


Ft. Lauderdale, FL - A very familiar scene unfolded at another gun free zone in Ft. Lauderdale on Friday.

A low IQ jihadist  import, void of human reason and rationality, shot several  forcibly disarmed Americans, murdered five, and created an apocalyptic scene inundated by hundreds of heavily-armed state and federal police helpless to do anything but gather survivors, count KIAs, and begin a lengthy and costly investigation pointlessly centered on 'shooter motive'. (1) 

Gun free zone active shootings in America, where the Supreme Law allows citizens to be armed anytime and anywhere, press the assertion that the state prefers these mass killings to continue. (2) A seeming absurdity on its face yet plausible considering the frequency and dependability of shootings in gun free zones that only result in continued mandates against armed Americans being responsible for our own protection.

The Ft. Lauderdale killer, like all jihadists and deranged active shooters, chose his location not based on tactical advantages, but because he knew victims would be disarmed by state and federal law that unabashedly violates the human and constitutional right of Americans to be armed when and wherever we choose.

The state, that shamelessly maintains gun free zones, is especially culpable in the Ft. Lauderdale shooting. 

Not only did the state previously have custody of the shooter, and the gun he used to kill five innocent people, it failed to adjudicate him mentally ill despite meeting every observable standard of an armed and dangerous paranoid schizophrenic professing, to the FBI, a compulsion to serve the world's largest terrorist organization. 

Imagine if, instead, the Ft. Lauderdale shooter was a white NRA member professing to be a Christian crusader of the Knight's Templar ordained by the trinitarian god to commit acts of violence against Muslims to 'save Western civilization'. (3)

In that circumstance he would have been disarmed, incarcerated, adjudicated, and forced into an indefinite, confinement-based treatment program for the dangerously mentally ill.

The only conclusion to the state continuing to deny Americans our human right to self defense from criminal deadly force, in gun free zones it imposes but does not secure, is that it views our lives far less important than its control over our lives.

1. The Ft. Lauderdale airport shooter hailed from Puerto Rico where the average IQ is 84, 1 point lower than the Average IQ of American Blacks (85), and 16 or more points lower than the average IQ of White (European) and Asian Americans.

IQ, again, is not a "racist" measure of human worth or value, but of intellect, effectiveness, human reason, and rationality, especially when comparing lower IQ populations functioning in societies with higher IQ populations. 

NBA teams, for example, not being populated by people of average height is not because pro basketball is “racist” against people of average height. It is because the abilities of short or average height people are an improbable match for talents needed to be a professional NBA player. No amount of affirmative action could ever change that reality. 

2. The Supreme Law, for the factually-impaired Marxist left, is the United States Constitution.

3. The only thing more dangerous than a deranged, low IQ, armed jihadists in a gun free zone is the Marxist, anti-Western civ., PC, mass immigration policies that allow them existence within the United States.  

A Post Obama Era Perspective On Sandy Hook

Sandy Hook Elementary was on full lock down when the killer literally shot his way through the front entrance on 14 December 2012, gaining access to dozens of children and unarmed teachers.

15 December 2012 was the day after twenty children and six female educators were murdered in the federally-mandated gun free zone of Sandy Hook Elementary School. 

Four years ago today statist tyrants of the progressive left were giddy over their assumption gun ban legislation would sweep through congress, be signed by a president eager to disarm lawful Americans, and effectively erase the Second Amendment.

Months passed as our nation struggled with the magnitude of this unimaginable yet completely avoidable tragedy.

Instead of gun control, gun ownership proliferated throughout the nation as Americans overwhelmingly rejected our government's assertion that guns, not evil people, were the problem.

Regardless of their arguments progressive and statists could not convince the American people that disarming was conducive to our safety.

Instead of being repulsed by guns, as the left demanded, we took gun purchases to record highs after Sandy Hook, higher than any time during the gun crazed Obama years, as women gun owners became the fastest growing segment in the firearms industry.

Then came the 2016 Presidential election. With it the regurgitated mantra that Hillary Clinton, the nation's most anti-gun political dinosaur, would become the undisputed President-elect.

Gun culture braced for another war on our natural human rights to self defense from criminal deadly force. 

Progressives again sharpened their legislative pencils on the expectation Hillary would be President, only to be plowed under by the dreadnought of Donald Trump's America First agenda.

After the election freedom advocates breathed a sigh of relief that, for the second time since Sandy Hook, a civil war over guns and natural human rights was avoided.

Civilian and veteran-owned battle ready load outs of assault rifles, gun belts, plate carriers, DBAL, NODs, IFAKs and maxed out chest rigs were downgraded in 'threat level'.

Tactical shotguns came out of hiding to relieve AR and AK rifles as home invasions, not a war with the gun-grabbing Clinton administration, became the most likely criminal encounter for armed Americans.

The sociopolitical defeat of Hillary Clinton, and thousands of Marxist and Islamists she would have empowered, meant the threat of civil conflict over our natural human right to possess firearms was, at least for the moment, over.

Now, with Obama's illegal executive orders and political legacy facing summary execution by President Trump, gun owners have a rare opportunity to reclaim decades of transgressions against our rights, starting with an end to government-mandated kill houses known as "gun free zones".

Just as the Trump Administration is America's last opportunity to handicap progressive liberalism, by deporting millions of Democrat-voting illegals and non-citizens who hate America, it is also a chance, perhaps our last, to hold our incoming president to his word over ending the US government's unconstitutional ban on self defense wherever we, as free Americans in our free country, find ourselves.
