In Anti-Gun Fever, Media Misses Some Crucial Facts

Gun control advocates often bank on scaring people into supporting their agenda. That’s how they’re fighting a “reciprocity” bill that requires concealed handgun permits to be honored in all 50 states — just like driver’s licenses. The scaremongering was on full display last Sunday, in CBS News’ “60 Minutes” lead segment by Steve Kroft on the dangers of concealed carry.
It comes at a strange time considering Wednesday’s Florida high schoolattack, where 17 people died in a “gun-free” zone. For that matter, all mass public shootings in Florida have been in places where general citizens weren’t allowed to defend themselves, and since 1950, over 98 percent of mass public shootings in the U.S. have occurred in these gun-free zones.
In November, the House of Representatives passed the reciprocity bill by a 231 to 199 vote. Senate Democrats are pledging to filibuster it, and Fox News reported that Democratic leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), would give “his blessing only for a handful of vulnerable lawmakers to support it.”

Progressives generally push the point that a disarmed society would be a crime-free society. They believe in a utopia that has only blue skies and unicorns. Being gun less society does not increase a person's safety, it puts a person's safety at risk. On a grand scale it reduces the risk criminals face from the public they prey upon, and places a significant burden on the rest of society. A person who chooses to remain gun less unwittingly contributes to making crime easier for criminals. They will not accept the truth that if you take all the guns off the street you still will have a crime problem, whereas if you take the criminals off the street you cannot have a gun problem. Take for example Norway, England and Japan. This is not about Gun-Control, it's all about People Control.
Meanwhile a look at Parkland Florida's School system is revealing and say's quite a bit as to how Nikolas Cruz fell through the cracks and was never busted at school.
Broward County's new NAACP collaborative discipline policy is absurd:
COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENT ON SCHOOL DISCIPLINE THIS AGREEMENT
http://www.ncjfcj.org/sites/default...tive Agreement on School Discipline - MOU.pdf
That’s the link to Broward County’s School Discipline ‘Agreement” and it’s signed by the Sheriff, State Atty, local judges and the NAACP.
On page 29 it outlines how various behaviors will NOT result in suspension or expulsion. Instead they receive warnings, lectures and possible detentions.
These infractions include:
All student misbehavior and these non-violent infractions:
Disrupting or Interfering with class or school functions
Affray - fighting in a public place
Theft if less than $300
Vandalism if damages under $1,000
Disorderly conduct
Trespassing
Criminal Mischief
Gambling
Loitering
Prowling
Harassment
Alcohol -all related offenses
Possession of Cannabis
Drug Paraphernalia
Threats
Obstructing Justice w/out Violence
Hmm... if I'm not mistaken Trayvon Martin also was resident and a product of this system. It makes you wonder how many other teens have fallen through cracks because of this "Agreement".
