Epiphany

We cite the statistics over and over...

Something becomes obvious.

Violence with firearms in the US has been steadily dropping for decades now.

What that means is incidents which would fade into the background of the overall violence in the past stands out today.

Just look at Chicago.  Violence is the norm there.  Not worth reporting.

White suburban high school in Florida?  Panic ensues.

Why?

Because it's unusual and it stands out from the norm.

It doesn't matter that compared to a weekend in Chicago hardly anyone died.  The wrong people died.  The scions of white liberal suburbia died and SOMETHING had to be done.

It doesn't matter that murders with rifles is barely statistically noticeable against murders overall.

Yes, it's racism.  They don't care if blacks and Hispanics are slaughtered by the cattle car loads.

They condemn we gun owners for wanting to remain armed and call us racists...

Our culture's solution to this problem ignores race.  Out culture's solution to this problem ignores sex and gender.  Our culture's solution to this problem ignores sexual orientation.  Our culture's solution to this problem ignores religion.  It virtually ignores all social constructs.

Liberal society and culture doesn't want to be supplanted by our superior culture so it's fighting back, hard.

More (civilian) guns is less crime every place it's given an honest chance.

We're going to win.  We just have to brave the onslaught.

We will endure.  We will persevere.
