Want to End Mass Shootings?

You do?  The answer is quite simple:  

First, never, ever publicize the name of any mass shooter(s) ever again.  EVER!  Not their name(s), their sex, their race, their religion, their sexual preference, nor their particular reason for committing violent, unwarranted, premeditated mass murder.  No "manifestos."  No "suicide notes."  No nothing...

With me so far?  To continue...

And second, please, PLEASE take down all those infuriating "Gun Free Zone" signs.  Right now!  Today!  This. Very. Minute!

Get it?  That's it.  If you're busy, go ahead and do something else.  You've learned all I have to teach you on this subject.  Unless you'd like a bit more proof...

Dum de dum de dum de dum...

Okay.  You're still here.  Good.  Now, allow me to further pontificate.

The scourge of so-called "mass shootings" has grabbed the Dinosaur Media and the Country by the throat.

Those unfamiliar with guns, or those perhaps directly and negatively affected by them, or are afraid they'll be, have coalesced into a raging mob of wannabe gun-grabbers, whipped into a frothing group of hysterics by the corrupt Media and the Progressive Left, who are seemingly ready to resort to the pitchforks and the torches to finally take down this last remaining bastion of American freedom.

The simple fact is, you either grew up with and are familiar with firearms, or you weren't, and aren't.  And you're either comfortable with your fellow Americans exercising their fundamental, 2nd Amendment Rights, or you're not.  And with the Democrat's and Media's help, there's more of the latter than the former.  Like, two to one.  Unfortunately.

Now, that didn't used to be a problem; back in the old days, like 20 years ago, and the Two Hundred years that preceded it, if you wanted a gun, you bought one.  If you didn't, you didn't.  No longer.  Now, for some unearthly reason, those ever-helpful Progressives have made it their business.  They want to insert themselves between you and the Bill of Rights.  Between you and your local gun store.  Between you and your prospective mugger.  They have a "Higher Calling," they believe, and they're dead-set on their mission to eliminate guns.  Yours.  Mine.  Ours.  Period.  

So, as befits their majority in the House of Representatives, and notwithstanding the crystal-clear admonitions conveyed by the Bill of Rights, and recent Supreme Court rulings, these anti-gun zealots have embarked on a mission to first regulate them, then outlaw them, and to finally to confiscate* them.

And deep into this process they've had their way swimmingly, even into proclaiming schools and bars and churches and Government buildings and airports and train stations and military bases and God-knows where else, "Gun Free Zones."  

Sort of like notifying the hungry lions where the nearest herd of unsuspecting zebras might be found.

NOTE:  Criminals by their very nature do not obey laws.  That's the definition of a criminal.  And anyone desirous of going out in a blaze of glory and taking a bunch of innocents with them would look upon such a location with gleeful anticipation.  And they did, and do.  When the results are tabulated, we find that every single mass shooting in the past 20 years, save one, occurred in a "Gun Free Zone."  

Hellooooooooooooo!

But such facts have failed to sway the single-minded  (and perhaps simple-minded?).  They'll have their "universal background checks" and their "common sense gun laws," and their "assault weapons ban," no matter what!  And that, and only that, they'll tell you, will stop the scourge of mass shootings!

Those poor deluded dolts.  I'm reminded of Ronnie Reagan's famous quote:  "It's not that Liberals don't know anything.  It's just that most of what they know...is wrong."

You want to stop mass shootings?  Here, one more time, is The Chuckmeister's prescription:

Let me repeat: never, ever mention the name of the shooter(s) publicly.  And that comes from a guy with training in abnormal psychology.  We all know, statistically and more innately, that those who are embarked on making lots of others dead, are doing so in an effort to gain attention.  To get some of the attention they're lacking in life, most likely.  They crave publicity.  Don't give it to them.  Once they learn they'll die not only hated, but anonymous, they'll choose another outlet for their frustrations.

Think back:  Can you remember the name of the individual who shot up the theater in Aurora, CO a few years back?  Sure you can.  You know his hair color (red).  You know his nickname ("Batman").  You likely know that he drove past two other movie theaters that fateful night, looking for one displaying a "Gun Free Zone" sign, which he found in Aurora.

Did you know that?  If not, thank the Progressive Media...  

How about the person who rampaged through the middle school in Sandy Hook?  You likely know all about him as well.  You know he stole his mother's guns, and then murdered her before killing more than 20 little kids.  He had committed 5 felonies before he shot his first defenseless child.  Would more laws have dissuaded this mental defective?  You decide...  

And the duo that murdered several at the developmental school in San Bernardino a couple of years back?  You know who they were, how they were armed, the jihadist religion they represented and why they wanted to massacre innocents.  My question is, WHY?  Why should we be subjected to "manifestos" from murderous zealots who've robbed us of our loved ones and our peace?  Why should we have our noses rubbed in our own fecklessness and impotency?  Is that not rubbing salt in our collective wound?

Let's rob them of that publicity and watch the shootings subside. 

And again, tear down those damn "Gun Free Zone" signs!  Why tell prospective mass killers where they'll find scads of unarmed sheep to slaughter?  It's better for a prospective killer not to know where to find the disarmed.  Allow those who wish to carry concealed - and can qualify to do so - to do so.  And publicize the fact that facilities may be protected by armed guards.  The likelihood of someone, anyone being armed in a school or a church will surely eliminate most of the threat of such tragedies.  

Remember, if even 5% of the ducks were armed, do you think anyone would go duck hunting? 

Let's finally get real here, folks!  The people who are killing little kids and church-goers are not the 100+ million honest, honorable, law-abiding gun owners among us.  They're the miscreants, the anti-socials,  the religious zealots and the quirky, mentally-defective weirdos who need to be sought out and found before they can cause mayhem.   

In short, let's all stop allowing politicians and the Media to blame the innocent just because they haven't figured out a way to fix blame on the guilty. 

Remember, if guns cause mass shootings, then pencils cause misspelled words...

*  Sheriff Lee of New Orleans Parrish confiscated all the guns immediately following Hurricane Katrina.  Just exactly when New Orlean's residents needed them most.  How did he know who had them?  "Universal background checks."  A word to the wise should be sufficient...
