The Answer to Mass Shootings is MORE Guns in Responsible Hands
by Don Boys, Ph.D.
America is shocked (again) as ten people, including one police officer, were brutally murdered by Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, who shot up a King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, Monday afternoon. The suspect is a resident of Arvada, Colorado, and all media reports reveal he has “lived most of his life in the United States.” Tuesday afternoon, the Sun reported he was “born in Syria” before he “came to the USA in 2002.” So he has lived almost his whole life in America.
The shooter’s brother said Ahmad “had a history of paranoid, disturbed and anti-social behavior.” But being paranoid, disturbed, and showing anti-social behavior is no excuse for planning and carrying out a mass shooting. But that will set up his defense—he was nuts.
The National File reported Ahmad’s Facebook page included “pro-Islam and anti-Trump messages.” He is a Muslim Jihadist who hated Trump and was known by the FBI! I believe the FBI connection is getting to be a pattern.
The radical racists caused a stir when they jumped on what appeared to be an issue—a white male shooter who was handled gingerly by police when a black man would have been shot down on the spot. Then it was announced that he was a Middle Eastern man, not white. Many tweets were deleted by embarrassed racists. One was the niece of what’s-her-name Harris who tweeted, “The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country.”
Whatever, losing the racial component, there was regret from the progressives because the shooter was not white; consequently, all the major gun-grabbers jumped on the gun control issue. What did you expect? They take advantage of every crisis to preach, push, and promote their leftist agenda.
