Tim Burchett Spoke The Truth About School Shootings
Highly Respected ^ | March 29, 2023 | Scott Greer

Posted on 04/01/2023 2:48:08 PM PDT by River Hawk

The mainstream media is apoplectic after a Tennessee congressman spoke an uncomfortable truth. Following the horrific Covenant School shooting, reporters hounded Republicans to get them to support gun control. Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett gave them the answer they definitely didn’t want. “It’s a horrible, horrible situation,” Burchett told inquiring reporters. “And we’re not gonna fix it. Criminals are gonna be criminals. My daddy fought in the Second World War, fought in the Pacific, fought the Japanese, and he told me… ‘Buddy, if somebody wants to take you out and doesn’t mind losing their life, there’s not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it.’”

He shot down reporters’ demands that Congress do something about guns. “I don’t see any real role that we could do other than mess things up, honestly… I don’t think you’re going to stop the gun violence. I think you got to change people’s hearts.” When pressed on what he would do to protect his daughter in school, he says he homeschools her.

98% of mass-shootings occur in “gun-free zones.”

The only purpose of “gun-free zones” is to encourage mass-shootings.

Ask Joe Biden.

He wrote the “gun-free zone” act of 1990.

Repubs have had nominal control of the Tennessee General Assembly for over 10 years and the RINOs have blocked real constitutional carry the whole time.

Gun free zones ... because the gun grabbers knew they would need victims.

It’s what made the Japanese so dangerous. Lack of respect for their and others lives. The nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved tens of thousands of American and ally lives.

Ohh reminds me of this from THE LIFE OF BRIAN.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgp9MPLEAqA

LORETTA:(Stan) I want to have babies.

REG: You want to have babies?!

LORETTA: It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.

REG: But... you can’t have babies.

LORETTA: Don’t you oppress me.

REG: I’m not oppressing you, Stan. You haven’t got a womb! Where’s the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!

LORETTA: crying

JUDITH: Here! I— I’ve got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans’, but that he can have the right to have babies.

FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.

REG: What’s the point?

FRANCIS: What?

REG: What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can’t have babies?!

FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

everyone has a right to self defense

self defense is self defense

stop taking away people’s right to self defense

stop pretending that you are protecting people by taking away their right to self defense

I doubt it. He pushed it and took credit but on his best day he couldn't write a grocery list.

Also, As a man I hate my dad, I want to be like my Mom!

She had babies and so will I.....OR ELSE~!

I have to laugh at these trans people. They are essentially sodomites who want different equipment.

The whole school thing turns on a dime once a school bus full of kids gets hit by a crazy. I know people who make a lot of money hardening school facilities. They sell locks, cameras, ballistic materials, etc. Bring up the school bus thing to them and they turn white. There are 500,000+ busses running twice a day in the US, it’s impossible to protect them.

This fellow is right, you cannot stop someone who is willing to die unless you get very very lucky.

But the act, as the statistic proves, did not result in the desired outcome.

The result was exactly opposite to the desired outcome. Unintended Consequence of and idea that originated in a shriveled mind. See my tagline.

All a crazy needs to do is steal a heavy truck and ram a school bus.

Or just come up as it’s picking up kids, board, shoot the driver and go down the aisle firing.

It actually saved Japanese lives as well, then and after. How many co flicts has that nation been invoved in fir the past 78 years? Or even internal civil wars? I guess they learned something about nuclear war that we and Russia and Iran and North Korea have not (yet).

The people I know in school security DON’T ever want to say anything about the 500,000+ yellow boxes on wheels that run across the country twice a day. These yellow boxes run the same routes at the same time daily. My view is that much more damage could be done by a 5 gallon gas can full of gas and a BIC lighter than an “assault rifle”.

IMO the school shootings like most active shooter situations are PERSONAL with the shooter(s) who want to see the people they are killing be torn up. They are just like any other serial killer in that regard in that they want to punish their victims. The same can be said for pedophiles and/or rapists, they want the feeling of power over their victims. Even their decision to go jihad and decide to possibly give up their own lives gives them a sense of power and control.

This somewhat new twist with tranny’s doing shoots seems to me another form of payback to the people they target who they consider to be the reason they are self-destructive. They blame their mental illness of gender dysphoria and the pain it brings them on someone else. IMO since they have essentially torn up their own bodies by using drugs and/or surgery they have already started to self-immolate themselves so death by cop isn’t off some of their radar.

I think the media and many politicians like to watch the world burn. The media because they are dull of intellect and the politicians because these types of killings take away from the way they strip mine the country and do their thievery. No logical person with a decent IQ would agree that men can be women and visa-versa. It’s bread and circuses.

The bottom line is that evil will do evil and stopping it is nearly impossible. It’s unfortunate that the general public in America has no more knowledge of these horrible things that look like people than they do how their steak is produced.
