Guns, Cars, and USSR serial killers.

At it again...all for you.

Mostly I do not engage with those on social media when I see it will be a clusterf---...ummm...I mean when I know a bunch of liberal pussies will pile on with copy-and-paste me-too commentary that all ends with "you're just stupid."

But then there are those times I do. And this most recent school shooting, running commentary of which I had vowed to stay out, finally could no longer be ignored.

I could no longer keep my mouth shut because a video started going around wherein...


I'm sorry, Dear Reader, you want me to share the video with you? Hmmmm...Oh, totally. I'll be happy to...Yes, yes, let me go find it for ya...Of course. After all I am...That's right! I am Citizen Journalist and...Why, thank you for your kind words. Hang on just one sec let me get those collateral pieces for you...AND WE'RE BACK! 


Here is the boy's picture. If you watch the video — here is the link to #CrunkNewsNetwork video — you will note this young man is either wanting to be the next MLK Jr., or he's running for office. He has the cadence, the moves, the rhetoric. Yes, he's got the look of a P-HWPCDLRSFC* sharing FLOTSAM** we are too stupid to understand ourselves.

So, there I was, quietly ignoring Fakebook ramblings...

...when I could no longer ignore "my friends" on Bacefook and decided to stir the pot a bit. Here are three things that got their panties in a bunch.

"Andy, you do realize, don't you, that anybody can get anything they want illegally and that no law would have stopped him. I say this because there are laws that say it is wrong to murder, yet did that law stop that boy or any other person who has done these deeds? It did not. Laws have no power to stop the evil person."

Now, Andy agreed that laws cannot stop anybody who wants to do it, but he went on to say that the shooting was all the fault of the gun lobby. Then he went on to point out in a perfectly logical fashion the breakdown in the FBI's response pattern that let the identified future shooter get this far and we should make laws about that. My response was:

"My dear Andy, it is obvious you care. But more laws do not solve the very problems you mentioned. It is the execution of perfectly fine, strong, and robust laws already on the books that is flawed. Of course, there are reasons for that happening, too, and let me tell you, it has everything to do with The Deep State's need to control the populace. How do they do that? Take away freedoms one by one. Ability of an armed populace to defend against a tyrannical government isn't the only freedom under attack. Do not be fooled in this at all.

"Look, what you and others are advocating is equivalent to a man who takes his puppy out to the middle of the street and guts it. All the people who see it are horrified. Then somebody says, 'We need to pass a law that will limit puppies from ever getting made again because otherwise look what happens when puppies get in the hands of...'

"No more puppies? But what about the kiddies who want a puppy? And some do-gooder says, "But the puppy will get eviscerated so NO, you can't have one."

"Your arguments do not correlate to reality and ignore the concepts of freedom."

This is when Lori jumped in to defend Andy.

She said I was totally wrong and Andy was totally right and maybe I should get my head out of my...

NO! Lori didn't say that...exactly. Lori is a fine woman and she merely hinted at that extraction action with the words, "We may disagree but you are wrong."

My response to Lori — which response, by the by, will be the last I make on that thread — was this:

"Lori, gun manufacturers carry no more blame for school shootings than car manufacturers do for the driver that runs over her spouse six times when she catches him coming out of a hotel with another woman.

"School shootings are not the problem, they are a symptom of a larger cause.

"Interesting point that correlates: During the USSR's heyday, the country claimed to the world they had no crime. That was simply a PR stunt on their part. You know, selling the world on the awesomeness that was Communism. And a lot of the world bought it. But those who did not believe the propaganda knew the lies when they saw it. They knew them because their eyes were open to all the facts.

"For instance, among rapes, everyday murders, domestic violence, theft, drugs, the Black Market, etc., we now know the USSR had one of the most prolific serial killers of all time that terrorized the rail routes for years. They HID the crimes until finally the general populace rose up and demanded they find the perp. Their young daughters' bodies were being found littered in the woods like so much trash. This was not right. Do something.

"But the authorities couldn't find the guy. So, where could they get help to do it? Why, the US had this thing called the FBI's Behavioral Unit.

"But to get the help to stop the perp, the USSR would have to admit they had crime. This they would not do and the killings went on until finally the general populace could no longer be ignored and the FBI was brought in to advise on what to look for, how to process crime scenes in order to find him, and so forth.

"The man was caught. Those killings stopped.

"Therefore, if you think of the anti-gun lobby as a PR stunt on the part of the Deep State that is meant to control the general populace's perception of what the real problem is in order to weaken them in submission and take away their freedoms, then you won't fall so fast for their lies."

I daresay all of that will go right over their heads.

But there are reasons they call me The Most Brilliant Woman in the World. And one of reasons is that I know when to stop beating my head up against a brick wall...or at least take a break from it.
