A year ago this week, the nation witnessed a horrible shooting at the Santa Fe High School in Texas.

Ten people were killed; several more were wounded.

The mainstream media treated the country to a week-long diatribe regarding the supposed evils of firearms.

Of course, if one were to only listen to Democrat presidential hopefuls like California Rep. Eric Swalwell, one would think that every mass shooting is carried out with a so-called “assault weapon.”

Swalwell even said that he wants to confiscate many commonly-owned firearms. And those who refuse, he says, would go to jail.

Not that it would have done any good to confiscate AR-15 style firearms before the Santa Fe shooting. The killer there used a shotgun and a snub-nosed revolver.

Now, now, now. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.

That’s a truism...if the criminal, mentally ill, evil shooters didn’t bring guns into schools, then they could not shoot people in the schools. But, they do...so the good guys might as well be armed, too.
