Alleged shooter Natalie Rupnow, age 15, underage and unable to legally possess or own a handgun, illegally obtained a firearm, entered a gun-free zone at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin, and opened fire on a classroom before allegedly using the gun to kill herself.
Six were injured, and three died (one of which is the shooter). Two of the wounded were in critical condition.
Details from the crime scene and about the shooter will be a shitstorm of nonsense for days (maybe weeks), but one thing is always clear after an event like this. Democrats are racing to remind us how stupid they are.
Whoever is running the Biden administration didn’t waste any time either. They (doing business as Joe Biden) released a statement that adds to the tweeter owned above.
My administration has taken aggressive action to combat the gun violence epidemic. We passed the most significant gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years, I have taken more executive action to reduce gun violence than any other President in history, and I created the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. But more is needed. Congress must pass commonsense gun safety laws: Universal background checks. A national red flag law. A ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
First, None of that Mr. “More executive action than any other president in history” stopped this shooting. Second, nothing in that paragraph would have prevented this shooting. Not. One. Thing. Nor will any of the suggestions emerging from the mouths of the gun-grabbing troglodyte horde.
To the best of my knowledge, the number one deterrent to mass shootings is Gun Zones as opposed to gun-free zones. Mass shooters, regardless of their level of insanity or whatever delusions plague them (in the case of children, thanks to drugs administered to them to adjust their hormones or brain chemistry), always have enough sense – to target places where law-abiding citizens have been disarmed.
When was the last time a kid on SSRIs tried to shoot up a gun show or an NRA meeting? Never? It’s almost as if they know something the Democrats don’t. The number one deterrent to crimes like this appears to be the known presence of equal or greater force. Period. So, as I noted here, if you can’t stop the criminals, you’d best not disarm the citizens. Yet that is the first thing Democrats start demanding whenever someone illegally obtains or uses a firearm and kills some disarmed innocent bystanders because it is not about public safety or gun safety. They don’t care about you. They care about power and control and as the meme goes …
That Shit Storm of Nonsense?
Natalie (the alleged shooter) goes by the name Samantha (for reasons we do not yet know), but here’s a bit of intrigue (totally unsupported speculation).
Another common theme repeats if true. The police were allegedly warned months in advance of the threat that local schools could be targets based on social media posts (unvetted, so take it for what it’s worth).
One more.
It is a Democrat problem, which I explored a few times from a few different angles, here, here, here, here, and here (on my Substack) if you want to check those out.
And yes!, there’s more, but I’ll rescue you from that and leave with this. Abundant Life School is in Madison, Wisconsin. Heavily liberal, blue, and progressive city. The State and city prohibit carrying a firearm (open or concealed) into any building posts a no weapons allowed sign or policy, even if you have a carry license. And they aren’t allowed in schools or public building (for good measure).
Yeah, that worked – for the victims.
