In his 10 pm EDT presser, Mayor Adams waited about 10 seconds to blame “gun violence” and that guns were the problem. He knew then it wasn’t the gun, it was mental illness but he can’t say that.
Playing devil’s advocate here and it may upset some.
The sheer lethality and easy availability in some states of the AR-15 combined with our godless, demonized culture is a sobering reality.
The founders wrote the 2nd Amendment before so called assault rifles were a thing (before video games, internet pornography, and other conscience-numbing lifestyles were a thing) and when American culture wasn’t as godless, broken, and mentally deranged. - Would they trust the average Americans of today with the responsibilities that come with freedom? 😕 Or would they still figure: better a corrupt yet armed populace still checks and balances, an even more morally bankrupt and bloated tyrannical government regime.
