Now the Uvalde PD has stopped cooperating with the Texas DPS (what would happen to you or me if we tried that?) and is now doing their best to block the police bodycam footage from getting out. Word is that the bodycam footage contradicts earlier police claims that they were trying to get into the room... seems the bodycam footage shows them standing around and making no effort to get in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885711670756817935.post-83646163379306669032022-06-01T09:42:39.900-05:002022-06-01T09:42:39.900-05:00Not to beat the dead horse further, but it helps m...Not to beat the dead horse further, but it helps me to re-articulate this, in the unlikely event I do stumble across an undecided person with an open mind, to whom I can give the elevator speech.<br />1) the people screeching about how guns are the problem, are almost entirely grossly ignorant of what guns are, how they work, and what current gun laws are<br />2) the people screeching for more gun control CERTAINLY are grossly ignorant of the realities of armed defense and of gunfights. ie having unarmed victims locked up in a controlled area with an active shooter is why so many people are wounded/killed. <br />3) these same people also couldn't tell you how many people each year are actually murdered in the US, and how many were murdered by guns. <br />4) So, the people screeching for more gun control thus don't understand the guns, the law, or how gunfights work, yet they have no problem trampling the rights of everyone to fix what they see as a problem that the government created or at least made worse.<br />Given their complete ignorance of the technical, legal, and tactical aspects of guns and armed defense, why would you think their solution would work any better than it has before in places with extreme gun control like NYC and Chicago?<br /><br />Tom from E TennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885711670756817935.post-41453448651024097092022-06-01T08:14:09.339-05:002022-06-01T08:14:09.339-05:00I can't disagree with any of this, it's si...I can't disagree with any of this, it's simply true.<br />And that's bad enough. Even worse though (imo) is the massive Kruger-Dunning effect which is killing all of us... <br /> My God the Kruger-Dunning effect on display especially with people I have to work with who think being a big shot at work carries over to them being big shots who should be running the country. Not a one of them could pass even a basic gun safety test to get into my range/club, but they listen to NPR and are just on their high horses about banning "high caliber bullets" and "high capacity clips" and you don't need that to hunt with. <br />The unqualified and ignorant, coming up with solutions to a problem they haven't the remotest clue about except for what they see on tv.<br />I can't remember if you have "family language" rules here so I'll have to settle for saying "a pox on all of them".<br />In their ignorant arrogance they're going to bring down the Republic. <br />Grrrr.<br /><br />Tom from East TennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
