The Contemptible American Left
By Steve McCann
February 23, 2018
The American left, whose enthusiasts traffic constantly in victimhood and noble intentions, are once again exploiting and manipulating a tragedy. They are now shamelessly claiming not only that teenagers who have been victims of or witnesses to a shooting must be the recipients of the nation's sympathy, but that whatever they say – however inane or uninformed, as long as it conforms with the left's anti-gun orthodoxy – cannot be questioned. Their unfortunate experience gives rise to their newly minted status as unassailable spokespersons in any debate regarding gun control. Therefore, anyone who has the temerity to question or criticize these newly anointed voices of reason is an insensitive brute who favors continued and unabated gun violence.
I am a victim of gun violence, as I was shot as a young boy by a man whose unambiguous intention was to kill me. I own handguns today because of the experience of coming face to face with the evil that permeates some men's souls. However, what I, and others of similar backgrounds, have to say will be ignored by the left and the media, as their agenda is not to solve the underlying factors inherent in mass shootings or gun violence, but rather to gut the Second Amendment – to make it meaningless in the inexorable march toward their ultimate goal, controlling the federal government in perpetuity.
When I was shot and left for dead, there was no organized police presence, and all law-abiding citizens were disarmed. The death of another homeless, displaced, and orphaned boy, buried in an unmarked mass grave, would have been just another easily ignored casualty of postwar Europe. But I am supposed to accept the absurd notion that somehow it was the inanimate object the man was holding, and not he, that was responsible for the attempt on my life. And I am supposed to ignore the fact that his mindset was such that he would have used any weapon available, including his hands, to accomplish the same goal.
I have been unwavering in my determination to never again face a similar circumstance. I have had firearms in my possession for the past 60 years, as I am fortunate to live in the one nation on Earth that has embedded in its founding documents the right to bear arms.

It is for that reason, as well as my life's experience, that those determined to take away or limit my right to own a firearm, as part of transforming the greatest nation in the history of mankind, will not succeed. I, and many millions throughout the length and breadth of America, will not be cowed into silence or acquiescence.

One can only hope that the Progressive Marxist Left's current disgusting display of 'Will-to-Power' political bullying and intimidation will convince more people of their boundless vicious intent. They cannot be reasoned with or accommodated and will never be satisfied with half a loaf. It is not their way. They are not playing any secrets anymore. They mean to subjugate you. me and every American out there who doesn't knuckle under to their intimidation. There is really nothing to reason with these Marxist Fascists, it is only for us to oppose them with all our might.
Did you know that the government, and specifically law enforcement, does not have any
duty to protect the general public?
The Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that the police do not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation.
So on February 14, 2018 when Nikolas Cruz began his massacring in Parkland HS. Scott Peterson the officer on duty at the school was using his constitutional duty as a Deputy Sheriff not to enter the school for the six minutes it took to kill 17 students and teachers. Meanwhile Nikolas Cruz was reported on at least 36 times as a problematic child including his Social media site where he made claims he was going to be a School shooter of students. the local law enforcement and the FBI did nothing.
While I empathize and have a lot of sympathy for the families of the children killed and the survivors, Gun Control or confiscation of guns, banning of the AR-15 or other rifles tricked out will do nothing.
