Yesterday, 21 people, including 19 children at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas were murdered by 18-year-old Salvador Ramos. Ramos, who was shot and killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent, was a resident of Uvalde and he was also a local student at Uvalde High School.

Additionally, 10 other people were injured, including Ramos’ own grandmother who he had shot at their home before he set off to launch his attack at 11:30 am local time.

After arriving at the school, Ramos apparently crashed his vehicle into a ditch but he was able to get into the school despite trading shots with a police officer, who he wounded.

As is always the case after a shooting, Leftists sprang into action demanding more gun control, in other words, more laws, but Ramos had legally purchased the semi-automatic rifle he used to commit murder, from a local gun store on May 16, 2022, which incidentally, was his 18th birthday. So-called “progressives” don’t want gun control. What these people really mean by gun control is the banning of certain types of weapons. And allowing them to ban one type will only lead to more bans.

Later, yesterday evening, formerly Vice President Biden asked the nation to pray for the victims and their families and he said the nation has to ask itself "When in G-D’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby? When in G-D’s name will we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?"

So, once again, Democrats are demanding that Congress ban the so-called ‘Assault Rifle’ or AR-15, which was the weapon used by Ramos. The reason that the NRA, the National Rifle Association or ‘gun lobby’ works against efforts to ban any weapon, apart from the obvious Second Amendment Constitutional right, is that banning weapons will simply not prevent these attacks.

It's a fact that Ramos or anyone else could have used another type of weapon or method to achieve the same result, had an AR-15 not been available. And I am certain that a 17-shot Glock 19 and a knapsack full of magazines would have worked just as effectively. And depending on which AR-15 you buy, they’re about the same price as a Glock, so banning AR-15s is not the answer.

But school security is... I am calling on school administrators to do what we all know in our gut needs to be done. Schools must beef up security by restricting access to a single controllable entry point or ensure that all entrances are locked with video, or CCTV and either a dedicated security employee or one of the administrators granting access after they have verified that the visitor poses no threat and this may also include checking bags.

Everyone at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde would be alive today if the administrators of that school had simply provided adequate security to protect students and teachers. If Ramos had been denied entry, 21 people would not have been murdered in that school. We don’t need to ban weapons. We need to protect ourselves from crazy people who get them. It’s that simple.

Banning guns is not the answer. More laws is not the answer. The reason crazies like Ramos pick schools to shoot up is that they are gun-free zones, with little or no security. Those parents who today mourn the deaths of their children would gladly accept tighter security at their dead child’s school if they could have them back home safe and sound.

When Is It Enough? - S6, E17

by Bill White

[Transcript]

As you know, a couple of weeks ago, the U.S. Congress gifted Ukraine $40 billion, a total of $58 billion of taxpayers’ money, so far this year, despite the efforts of Senator Rand Paul.

And since 2020, Congress has passed three COVID relief packages that add up to over $190 billion for public and private schools. The vast majority of that money has gone to school districts and remains unspent, with some estimates that more than 80% or over $150 billion of the money remains unallocated.

Remember when Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats and even some Republicans said the country couldn’t afford just $5 billion President Trump had requested to secure the nation’s southern border? These same people have no difficulty spending over $200 billion, of your money, for their projects.

So, in the wake of yet another school shooting, after 19 students and two teachers were murdered in Uvalde Texas, because the school district there refused to spend money to secure the safety of those children, remember, it’s not because there isn’t enough money. The government is awash with cash for Ukraine and for schools to buy equipment so that teachers don’t have to attend schools, to do their jobs, the government just doesn’t have money to protect our country, and the school administrators never have any money to protect your children.

Thank G-D, my children are out of school with two of them having recently graduated from universities, but if you have children in school, in America, and you’re paying tax, ask yourself, why are you voting for people who refuse to protect you and your children? Why are you allowing these school administrators to have jobs that you pay for with your tax dollars?

When are you going to say enough? When are you going to put a stop to the government’s unchecked foreign spending? When are you going to tell these people that their services are no longer required?

When my kids were in high school, in the UK, I recall every time I went to their school that I had to be granted access to the building. There were two doors and both of them were locked, and someone was there to ensure that my reason for being there was legitimate and that I wasn’t a threat to anyone inside that school. It’s not rocket science. It’s common sense.

But Leftists want to ban guns. The ‘Progressives’ want more laws when really, all that needs to be done is to spend the money schools already have to provide an adequate level of protection for children and teachers. You can ban every gun and even if you could collect them all (and good luck with that), the crazies would just use knives or baseball bats or whatever they can get their hands on… It’s not the weapon that’s the problem. It’s the crazy people and the total lack of security at what has been intentionally and foolishly created as a gun-free zone.

And frankly, there’d be a lot more money to protect your children at school if our ‘leaders’ would stop sending our money to Ukraine and to Iran and all the other foreign nations. As voters, we elect Representatives and Senators to protect our interests, in our state, not to worry about the rest of the world. Back in March, in another of my Rants, I spoke about Government Spending, and so I’ll repeat … an intervention is needed, while there’s still a country to save.

Midday Rant – Billions to Protect Ukraine, Screw Your Kids’ Safety

On this episode we discuss recent tragedies caused by Mass Shootings in the U.S. (12:50), conflict between MLB players Tim Anderson and Josh Donaldson after Donaldson referred to Anderson as "Jackie" (35:50), current state of the NBA playoffs (48:35) and more!

Episiode 175: "Go Figure"

Actor Jon Voight responded to the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, by calling for new measures to be put in place for gun ownership by credentialing people based on their “mental capacity,” among other things. Joe Biden falsely claimed that January 6 rioters at the U.S. Capitol “killed two police officers” while giving the commencement address at the University of Delaware. Authorities are investigating whether or not a retired federal agent had advanced warning that a white supremacist was planning on murdering black people at a Tops Friendly Markets store in Buffalo, New York earlier this month. Republicans in Congress have introduced a bill to define what a woman is.

Emotional Responses Make For Bad Public Policy

by Bill White

[Transcript]

The racists are at it again. Truth is, they never actually stopped.

Tim Wise, who peddles himself as an ‘Anti-racist educator’, argued on MSNBC’s The ReidOut that the Second Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights to stop slave rebellions rather than protect individual gun rights.

Before I begin, just a quick detour on the subject of Wise being an ‘Anti-racist’… or an Anti-racist educator, whatever, I have the same yardstick for anyone who describes themselves as not being ‘Antisemitic’. If you have to tell me that you’re not, then you are. The evidence of you not being an antisemite or a racist is your actions not what you’re saying. So, if you need to tell me you’re Anti-racist, you’re probably one of their leaders.

Anyway, it was just one year ago that Carol Anderson, who is a professional racist currently drawing a salary as “professor” of African American Studies at Emory University, was touting her book, The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America, in which Anderson argued poorly that the “well-regulated Militia” found in the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was created to provide states with a mechanism to quell potential slave uprisings.

It’s only a week after the Uvalde Texas school shooting, but these racists are drudging up this false narrative once again. The fact that a majority of the citizens of Uvalde are Hispanic, as were most of the murdered students, AND the nutcase shooter… this obvious inconsistency in their philosophy does not seem to register with these idiots.

In an op-ed for The Washington Post in 2014, Anderson argued that the unrest following the 2014 Ferguson shooting was a manifestation of "white rage", or white backlash against African American advancement. Her resulting book, White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, expanded on this ridiculous theory.

People like Anderson and those who peddle this narrative again, like Tim Wise, in the wake of the mass shooting at Uvalde are the true racists. Even a cursory inspection of the historical documents exposes the foolishness of Anderson’s theory and likewise anyone who repeats her nonsense.

James Madison certainly gets credit, in June 1789, for the words “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” and “A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country,” against a tyrannical government.

But Samuel Adams had made the same sentiments a year prior during the Massachusetts ratifying convention, where he proclaimed “the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of The United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms…”

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay collectively wrote eighty-five essays, known as the Federalist Papers, to persuade people, from those in politics to the average citizen, that the new Constitution would be an aid in the growth of the young nation.

And it was in Federalist No. 29, that Alexander Hamilton wrote that a well-regulated militia composed of the people will be more uniform and beneficial to the public defense of all Americans. He argued that an excessively large militia can harm a nation's workforce, as not everyone can leave their profession to go through military exercises. Thus, a smaller, but still well-regulated militia, is the answer. In the end, Hamilton concluded that the militia, as it is constituted directly of the people and managed by the states, is not a danger to liberty.

Midday Rant - It’s Always About Racism for the Racists

And then there was another school shooting.
Not that they're shooting at schools, like the Russians do.
Typically, in the USA, some young man decides
to shoot some kids at some school.
These things may happen anywhere,
but not on a regular basis, like they do in the states,
and the reason why they do
is the gun infestation, like locusts swarming the land

the number of guns among people in the US
is way higher than anywhere else.
This insanity has proven impossible to cure
due to law-makers' ties to the gun industry.

But what allows this perversion to prevail
with no law-maker or CEO sent to jail.
It ties in with a deeply rooted sentiment
a mindless aversion to government
rooted in the birth traumas of the nation
and the shock of growing up too fast.

One misconceived argument is this
guns don't kill people -- people do.
But if that is so, 
and the Americans don't wanna let their guns go,
why don't they get rid of all the people?
That should take care of the problem.
But the notion is now
to get rid of all doors, keep the shooter out
One could just as well get rid of the floors.

Drain all the mores, Pave all the shores, Empty all the drawers,
Close all bookstores, Don't pick at sores
Always think up more schemes to prevent and end to war.

And Then There Was Another School Shooting
