    Pulling on the heartstrings of Americans on Valentine’s Day, President Joe Biden urged Congress to implement unprecedented gun bans, magazine bans, ammo bans, and going after gun manufacturers. He pushed for these draconian measures by evoking an emotional reaction, through the exploitation of the Parkland shooting.

    “The Parkland students and so many other young people across the country who have experienced gun violence are carrying forward the history of the American journey. It is a history written by young people in each generation who challenged prevailing dogma to demand a simple truth: we can do better. And we will,” Biden said in a statement.

    This Administration will not wait for the next mass shooting to heed that call. We will take action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer. Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.”

    For those who remember, this was a tactic employed by Donald Trump as well, who took to his pulpit after Parkland to call for removing due process.

    “I like taking the guns early like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers after the shooting.

    “Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump said.

    In the afternoon on Feb. 14, 2018, a man identified by authorities as Nikolas Cruz, now 22, walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and opened fire with an AR-15 rifle. The shooting left 17 dead, including 14 students. Since then, this tragedy has been exploited by the anti-gun crowd as a means of removing guns from the hands of law-abiding citizens. Dozens upon dozens of “red flag” gun laws and other such bills have been passed and are being used across the country.

    Although the ostensible intention of these laws is to stop a future tragedy, it is important to point out that there were already laws on the books that should’ve stopped Nikolas Cruz from ever getting a gun. This is a fact that is ignored by Biden and the rest of the anti-second amendment ilk.

    Citing Cruz as the reason for advocating the erosion of the 2nd Amendment, the anti-gun activists are claiming he should’ve had his guns taken which would have prevented the tragedy. Sadly, however, they are ignoring the fact that he was accused of multiple feloniesand should’ve never been able to purchase a gun in the first place—but law enforcement failed to act on any of it.

    According to a report by CNN, records obtained from the sheriff’s office by CNN show the law enforcement agency received at least 45 calls for service relating to Cruz or his brother from 2008 to 2017.

    As TFTP previously reported, Cruz warned that he was going to shoot up a school and kill people and the FBI did nothing. “I’m going to be a professional school shooter,” A YouTube user named Nikolas Cruz commented on a video on Sept. 24, 2017. The video was posted on the channel “Ben The Bondsman,” and the owner, Ben Bennight, immediately took a screenshot and submitted it to the FBI. Nothing happened.

    While this is bad enough, the Sheriff’s department records show that police were given this exact same warning—a year before—because Cruz had been declaring his wishes to shoot up the school publicly.

    According to the records, in 2016, a neighbor warned police that Cruz posted on Instagram that he said he “planned to shoot up the school.” The person who made that call came forward in March and said that she begged the sheriff’s office to intervene. Instead of intervening though, police told her that they couldn’t act until Cruz actually did something.

    The incompetence is staggering, especially given the fact that making a direct threat of violence is illegal.

    A few months after he said he wanted to shoot up the school on Instagram—because the police failed to heed this warning and the dozens of other ones—Cruz bought the rifle he would use in the shooting—none of the gun control laws or the actual laws on the books designed to stop him from getting a gun worked.

    In Florida, if a person making death threats intends for the victim to fear for his or her safety, specifically fearful of death or bodily harm, it is considered a credible threat under the law, which changes the crime from stalking, a first-degree misdemeanor, to aggravated stalking, a felony of the third degree. Cruz was reported at least 4 times for this very crime before he bought his AR-15 — and police did nothing.

    The reactionary nature of disarming Americans because deranged psychopaths kill people is dangerous and only serves to keep the guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. Moreover, deranged psychopaths don’t even need guns to cause mass death.

    Biden has been outspoken about his desires to disarm Americans and gun-control advocacy groups are pushing both executive orders and legislative packages to make sure this happens. As Democrats control both chambers of Congress and the White House, these actions have an even better chance of getting rammed through.

      1. We need to use asymmetric warfare. A frontal second amendment attack will only make us losers.

        To anti-second amendment hacks always respond that they are CCP, communist China shills. Never accept their arguments at face value, but respond that they are Marxist agents of Venezuela, responsible for US voter fraud.

        Just stop dealing with these anti gun idiots like they are human. They aren’t. It’s Chinas greatest desire that America be disarmed. Speak to that directly.

        Who do you think these creeps serve?

      2. It is accurate to say the Dems. are solely concerned with political, social, and cultural issues, little else. Their economic ignorance and/or indifference is obvious and going to cause major problems in the US. The actions of the new Prez since taking office clearly show this.There are some big problems brewing which will manifest soon, and are going to contribute to economic pain for citizens. The seriousness of this issue can’t be overstated.
        For one, container shipping rates for imports are skyrocketing, and have on the average doubled just since 2019, and climbing rapidly. There are some reasons for this. Dependence on Chinese manufacturers and goods is now rapidly increasing again, instead of domestic production which is again diminishing. Another is a severe global shortage of shipping containers (a likely strategic move of hoarding by China). China sees we are going back to having a massive dependence on them, and they are raising shipping rates like crazy (supply and demand). Another reason for increasing shipping costs is the fact cargo ships cost a lot of money to operate if empty. Imports to the US are up, and its exports are down. Therefore loaded ships must charge even more since many return home basically empty. This too can cause many routes to be cut back since they may not be profitable (causing broken supply chains for companies).
        There is a scrambling by companies to find shipping containers by offering exorbitant rates, hoping they can get enough to meet demand. If enough cannot be found this cause two more big problems – further adding more shipping costs again, and a breakdown in the supply chains.
        It is said China is orchestrating all this for two reasons – they want a monopoly on shipping, a monopoly in manufacturing and production, and monopolizing ports all over the world. The picture is a more complicated than stated in this post, but it appears since DT is no longer in office China moving ahead with no power to check it, certainly not from an impotent US. They are acting very aggressively and with impunity, and will not stop until their goals are met and solidified.
        It may be a good idea to go and buy what you need soon because of coming price increases or it simply may not be available. Shortages won’t be manufactured goods only, but food too. Broken supply chains, shortages, and dramatic price increases cause drastic ripple effects though the economy and society, so there’s lot more surprises coming our way.
        The present Admin. has to be the most incompetent and dishonest in history; appropriate measures to rectify this coming mess appear non-existent.

      3. We should band SEX as a weapon.
        It has been used since the beginning of time.
        It has cause more fighting’s, more death, disease, loss of revenue, etc. etc. etc.
        We just keep getting in trouble just to shoot a load.

        LOL

      4. Blah Blah Blah

        It’s really really simple and does not need long dissertations or rationale.
        “Thou shall not infringe” period – end

        If they want to change the constitution to make their illegal grab legal – try it! That’s when Jakartaman leaves his home locked and loaded to DC

      5. Believe it or not the Constitution doesn’t give anyone any rights. It enumerates and defines the rights everyone has by birth as a human being. As stated by the founding fathers of this Republic. Its like Benjamin Franklin said “We have given you a Constitutional Republic if you can keep it. I don’t know if he really said that but supposedly he did. It was also called an experiment by the founders. It takes vigilance and dedication to maintain something so unique as this form of government. If corrupt elected officials are left to “run the government” while we the people are to busy indulging ourselves in other things,we can’t honestly blame anyone but ourselves. Of course it didn’t happen overnight it’s been going on for a long long time,but we are reaping the bitter fruit of it. If the people cannot unite and put away their differences and find some courage then forget it,it goes into the ash bin of history and we become boot licking slaves.
