The Second Amendment is among the most controversial topics in society, especially in recent years. With a number of shootings occur, the media and politicking partisans seize on every tragic opportunity to push a failed policy proposal. The idea is that with increased regulation and more difficulty in acquiring firearms, gun violence will decrease. It operates under the assumption that mass murderers and terrorists acquire their weapons through legal channels.
In society, concealed carry and even carrying guns at all is under heavy assault from the gun control lobby. The argument here is that Gun Free Zones work and that by having a sign up that says “No Guns Allowed”, violence is deterred. This assumes that people who commit murder, which is against the law, will otherwise obey sign laws.
We’re showed continuously that the disarming of society fails.
Chicago, Illinois has consistently ranked among the highest in gun violence and crime, but while also having staunch gun control laws. The San Berardino, California terrorist attack occurred with guns despite strong gun control laws in the state.
But is the solution less regulations and more guns? The question runs deeper than this.
Tragically, there was a shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Holiday International Airport. A silent gunman entered the scene and opened fire, killing at least five people and injuring eight. The airport has been shut down as reports continue to come regarding the horrific incident at a place where people go to travel, not die.
Why didn’t a ban on weapons work? Doesn’t Gun Free Zone mean gun free?
Unfortunately, criminals don’t follow the law, hence why they’re criminals. At this point, it comes down to how to respond. Should a law-abiding American be able to carry a firearm for the purpose of self-protection?
Like with many shootings ranging from schools to other public places, a common denominator is a ban on carrying a gun. While nobody wants a crazed lunatic or a criminal carrying guns throughout society, these bans even apply to common citizens with a lifetime of obeying the law and being a peaceful contributor to social stability and order.
When administrators can’t even carry an emergency firearm at a school for self-protection, what kind of message does this send to terrorists looking to break us down? We’re vulnerable?
The same applies for the tragic airport shooting today. We can’t exercise our legal Second Amendment right to bear arms because we have the government to protect us. But where was the government today?
Five people are dead and eight are injured. That’s thirteen lives directly impacted and countless more affected as the tragedy will send a horrific shockwave though families, friend groups and social circles. It hurts to lose anyone, but to do so for unnatural causes is awful. Nobody has a right to remove another individual from this Earth. We have a right to our lives.
What if people were allowed to defend themselves in common public locations? This isn’t advocating for a Wild West, as many opponents of the proposed solution would suggest. Many gun owners are trained in proper ownership and safe handling, thus granting them the knowledge to conduct themselves professionally. Their holstered mechanism for self-defense would only be removed on that rare occasion that a terrorist or criminal sought to inflict harm.
Someone might have dropped the Fort Lauderdale-Holiday International Airport gunman before he could take or injure a single life. Why is this bad?
what kind of stupid argument is this, think about why only US has a gun problem, because one way or the other, its easy to buy arms there,impose a country wide strict arms contrl n see how the govt does its job
All over the world for the past century we have seen that whenever governments try to deprive their citizens or subjects of our God-given, natural right to defend ourselves with firearms the number of victims usually rises substantially. Also, in many cases, such as the Soviet Union, Red China, National Socialist Germany and many other slave nations, the government itself massacres or enslaves millions of victims. Gun control is people control. It always leads to death and/or slavery.
wow, keep them coming, this is so funny.
Communal cast€ist, Why don’t you eat some beef steak of your god cow like your Dalits and tribals fellows. Are you Dangai from Bharatya Danga Party? Are you tired of drinking cow mutra and applying cow gober on your ugly face for best shade results, yet? You dirty kuffar. Don’t forget to buy patanjali products only with digital transaction.Trump supporters are calling you rap!st, street$h!tter, Job thief and P00 in L00. You pagan people and your obsession with excrement. Why don’t you leave for communal Gujrat and take your Modi and Amit mahesh shah with you, Muslim-Dalit-Patel are waiting for you guys there with rods to put inside of yours and your families.ya?
You must believe all government is benevolent! Government is force. And when government does a bad job…..how do the people regain control of their country?
Frist of all the US is not the only country that has a “gun” problem, in that terrorist have hit much of Europe and the Middle East a lot heavier than here in the US, also if you look a violent crime places like the UK have about 4X the rate of violent crime and their reporting methods also hide unsolved crimes.
Second, calling this issue a “gun problem” is exactly wrong. We have a criminal/terroris problem. The problem is largely due to gun control where the good law abiding citizens are prevented from having the tools to protect themselves and criminals have an open invitation to kill in “No Gun Zones”
The solution is visions: Open carry at airports and on planes.

CNN Uses Black and White Photo of Florida Shooter and Crops Out “ISIS Salute”
Many are accusing CNN of taking the image of Esteban Santiago, an ISIS soldier, and changing it to B&W so he appears more “caucasian.”
In addition, they also cropped out the “single-finger ISIS salute.”

Where were all the ‘good guys’ with guns to stop this guy?
Disarmed per Florida law which prohibits loaded firearms in airports.
“A shoot-out is better than a massacre!”
Licensed carriers should have the right to carry anywhere and everywhere. The coward assassins always chose to slaughter where guns are NOT permitted (for their own safety of course). This has to change!
