The antigun crowd keeps feeding the media the same lie about availability.

No amount of emailing conservative anchors or the NRA seems to move any of them to tell these simple truths.

Firearms capable of doing these shootings have been commonly available since the end of WWII.

In the 50's, less than $100 and a stamp would get you a surplus US GI carbine by mail order.

200 rounds of ammunition, $7.

30 round magazines, $2 each.

The ads are in online copies of shooting magazines.

And those of us who were shooting at that time remember some better deals in some sporting goods stores.

Why didn't we have these events back then?

They are refusing to admit that this is all about mental health.

Why didn't we have these events back then?

We didn't have the "if it feels good, do it" attitude.

We didn't raise children to believe that their “feelings” were the most paramount things in the universe. And if they were offended, they were entitled to a sincere apology couched in language that they could review before accepting.

We didn't raise children that were convinced that they were entitled to a detailed and in depth explanation of "why should I" every time any adult told them to do something.

All that entitlement and permissiveness ain’t working.

Society has changed, the guns have not.
