Biden’s Gun Control Proposals Will Do As Much to Stop School Shootings as David Hogg's Pillows

President Joe Biden took advantage of the third anniversary of the Parkland school shooting to call for stricter gun control laws.

For most Americans who only ever followed the story of Parkland through the mainstream media, that call made sense. Most journalists only cared about my daughter's murder and the murder of 16 others as far as they could use it to prop up their own political agenda through an opportunistic teenager who has now become a partisan pillow salesman.

But for me, having done a thorough investigation into what went wrong and why in Parkland and in other school shootings in recent years, I expect Joe Biden’s gun control proposals to have about as much effect stopping school shootings as David Hogg’s pillows.

For all the sound and fury about the fact that the Parkland shooter used an AR-15, the fact is that he could have used a musket and murdered as many kids. That’s because the police gave him 11 minutes all to himself in a building with 800 kids.

Thank you Mr Pollack. Keep up the good fight against the anti Americans now running the country(in to the ground). Safety and freedom seem to be on a road out of town.

Kevlar only goes so far before ballistic plates are needed.

Biden’s gun policies don’t care about school shootings.

They are about gun ownership restrictions.

to criminalize (and further tax) owners of over 400 million firearms will be:
1. unconstitutional
2. impossible to enforce as most Americans will simply not comply
3. the cause of needless bloodshed in the event there are any attempted “enforcement actions” -— both innocent American citizens in their homes and whatever “enforcers” the dictator-wannabees can deploy... will die
4. insane (except as another “control the sheeple” measure for the dictatorship-wannabees)

imho, these people are trying to damage America in any way they think they can, whether it is our defenses, our energy independence, our economy, our citizens’ jobs, our alliances, our faith, our moral values, our communities.. you name it they have a destruction plan in the works.

these enemies of America ARE dangerous because they’ve wormed their way into power positions. They need to be removed from our government and other power positions in our society, ASAP, if USA and our civil liberties are to have any chance of survival now.

Media Control would go a lot further in stopping school shootings than Gun Control. They’re the ones who glorify the school shooters and make them into celebrities, inspiring others who crave attention and fame to emulate them.

Biden's Gun Control Proposals are not designed nor are they intended to stop, or even slow down school shootings. Their intent is to disarm the law abiding Citizens of the United States and render them helpless to defend themselves from who the Government intends to unleash upon them.

But again, as I have heard over and over, the Police will protect you. So I suppose that there is nothing to worry about.

Stopping school shootings is NOT their goal. In fact, they want more of them so they can “justify” total confiscation from the honest, non-violent people.

Did you actually say “unconstitutional”? These assclowns are all anti Americans. Including the 800 million(/s) that voted for pedo joe and commie-la “fweedumb” hawiss.

Most of the fake president’s “wants” have already been shot down by the Supreme Court. He’s just making noise for his low IQ followers. He’s a joke!

1) tell a progressive something is unconstitutional and they only want it more.

2) this will enable the Left to selectively prosecute folks ... look for their attachment to felons voting to disappear as they exempt people charged with illegal gun possession from any amnesties.

3) the Left needs blood and suffering to advance their agenda.

4) the Left is that, it’s the Cultural Marxism in them.

They couldn’t care less about preventing another Parkland. All they care about is disarming Americans.

A blunderbuss would make a awful mess in room full of people.
