Sports Illustrated’s Peter King has handed down yet another 140 character edict in the wake of yet another shooting. Why is the person charged with writing about football, on a night when the Ravens and Steelers play, writing about mass shootings? Because shut up, that’s why.
On Thursday night, King tweeted:
Of course, King doesn’t elaborate on what the “something” he wants done is. However, he approvingly retweets and captions Bernie Sanders multiple times in his timeline. So, probably safe to say the “something” King has in mind that will solve school shootings in America is just a smidge different than what Wayne LaPierre has in mind.
King’s fellow traveler in the leftist sports media, Albert Breer, obviously had confiscation in mind when he captioned King’s tweet and put out this gem:
Neither King nor Breer should be complaining about the school’s security arrangement at all. The Oregon Community College, where 10 people were murdered, was a gun free zone. As was Aurora, Trolley Square, Virginia Tech, and far too many other scenes of mass horror. Even the security guard at the school was unarmed.
In other words, this was “doing something.” The security or lack thereof at the community college was exactly the kind of “something” that Bernie Sanders and the gun control crowd would affect all over the country if he could. GFZ’s are the utopia for the anti-gun crowd.
Moreover, they’re proof that the ideas these people have are awful. It’s no accident that schools are regularly targeted by wackos looking to go out in a blaze of murderous glory. It’s because they know there’s an excellent chance that they’ll be the only person with a gun on campus. Breer and presumably King’s sterilized, gun-free world is nothing short of a red flag in front of the bull of psychotic rage.
And if I were to peruse the list of 141 shootings since Newtown, I would be sure to find that nearly, if not all, took place in GFZ’s. Yet, the answer from the gun control crowd will always be, like Breer said, that “Americans have blown it” when it comes to their rights. As opposed to maybe, just maybe realizing that there’s a pattern to all these shootings. A pattern that proves that they’re gun control utopia is in fact a killing field.
