Another school shooting and another predictable reaction.
They run out to their microphones and social media accounts before all the facts are in, screaming to ban these so-called “assault weapons.”
This time, though, it seems like they were out there faster than ever screaming “it’s the guns.”
Now, as far as I know, a rifle doesn’t walk into a school and shoot children. A Ford Explorer doesn’t drive itself to a Christmas parade and mow down people including children.
Why did the shooter commit this heinous act? What drugs was she on? Where’s the toxicology report? Where’s the manifesto?
It’s not the guns.
