In the larger sense, however, the personal ownership of firearms is only secondarily a matter of defense against the criminal. Note the following from Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants. - Jeff Cooper

Katie Hobbs Spokeswoman’s Alarming Tweet After Nashville

All school shootings delight moonbats, who eagerly exploit them to attack our right of self-defense. But the transgender terror attack in Nashville on Monday was special. It served as a shot across the bow, warning normal people to passively accept the cesspool of depravity their country is being transformed into. Looks like the staff of leftist Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has been in no mood to mourn:

Fox News reports:

Hobbs’ press secretary, Josselyn Berry, made headlines after a picture of an armed woman from a Twitter account of the same name appeared to threaten violent action against “transphobes.”

A “transphobe” is anyone who puts up resistance to the transsexual agenda.

“Us when we see transphobes,” Berry’s tweet read, including a GIF of a woman wielding two handguns.

The offending post from Berry, a Democratic operative and spokesperson for Hobbs, has since been removed from Twitter for violating the site’s rules.

The tweet was aimed at fellow liberals like J.K. Rowling who fail to toe the line regarding psychotic transsexual doctrine. Berry denounces them for “bigotry.”

The Arizona Freedom Caucus notes that Berry tweeted this less than 12 hours after the mass murder in Nashville.

Letting these people disarm us would not be wise.

Transgender Terror Attack in Nashville

“We can disarm you,” liberals smugly assure us. “We have school shootings.”

True enough, school shootings are a trump card for progressives, who know they cannot inflict their agenda on a population capable of defending itself. Each one sends the media into paroxysms of euphoria, because they can be spun into forceful propaganda against our fundamental right of self-defense — even in the case of a terrorist attack, as occurred in Nashville yesterday:

Nashville police revealed that the 28-year-old who shot and killed six people at the Covenant School, including three children, identified as transgender and had a detailed manifesto to attack the Christian academy.

The killer was identified as Audrey Hale.

Mass murderers are not often female. The policy of fostering mental illness by encouraging psychotic transsexual delusions and pumping women full of testosterone so they can pretend to be men is turning out about as well as could be expected.

While Democrats/the media reflexively claim that our right of self-defense is responsible, the actual driver of this atrocity appears to have been Hale’s twisted ideology, as suggested by the existence of a manifesto.

According to Nashville Metropolitan Police Chief John Drake,

Hale was “prepared to do more harm than was actually done,” and that she had drawn up plans to attack another school in the area, but backed out of them because the school was too secure.

No wonder local Democrat authorities do not focus appropriately on increasing school security. Too much of it and there won’t be carnage to exploit for attacking the Second Amendment.

Adding to the media malfeasance this time is the concern for not offending the dead killer by failing to use her preferred pronouns:

The New York Times, CNN, USA Today, and other liberal media outlets have elicited scorn and outrage after they took measures to ensure that they were on the record as not “misgendering” the transsexual who slaughtered children inside a Nashville Christian elementary school on Monday.

Hale demanded that her psychosis be revered through the use of he/him pronouns.

Like liberal journalists, Hale’s mother is a gun control activist. However, the killer herself was probably more focused on transgenderism — speaking of which:

This act of apparent trans-activist terrorism against Christians comes days before a planned “Trans Day of Vengeance” which is scheduled for Saturday.

The “vengeance” sought by transsexuals is in retaliation against normal people for imaginary violence and for legislation that impedes the transsexualization of children, as was passed recently in Tennessee, protecting children from sex change procedures and drag performances.

Transsexualism is based on a fundamental rejection of objective reality. Unsurprisingly, transsexual militants are hardly paragons of mental health. Their current turn toward violent tactics is alarming in the extreme.

Here’s how America’s descent into the maelstrom of moonbattery looks from overseas:

Denver School Brings Back Armed Officers After Shootings

Leftists seize eagerly on school shootings as a pretext to disarm law-abiding citizens. So key is this strategy to advancing their quest for more power that they are willing to facilitate shootings by pretending that the gun is responsible, rather than focusing on solutions that would reduce violence. But Wednesday’s shooting in Denver has jarred local educrats to step back from insanity:

In June 2020, the Denver School Board unanimously voted to cut ties with Denver Police, following the murder of George Floyd.

If anyone murdered George Floyd, it was the dealer who sold him the fentanyl that killed him. However, this did not stop moonbats from kicking out school resource officers to virtue signal their commitment to the Black Lives Matter agenda.

But Denver Superintendent Alex Marrero told the Denver Gazette’s news partners Chalkbeat Colorado Wednesday he will have an armed officer at each of the district’s comprehensive high schools — a step that he acknowledges likely violates school board policy.

In a letter Marrero sent to school board members Wednesday, several hours after a student allegedly shot two deans at the school, he wrote that he is “committing to having an armed officer at each comprehensive high school.”

The Board of Education agreed late Wednesday.

When it isn’t just children who are shot but the educrats themselves, suddenly they are capable of grasping that guns are required to prevent violence.

Pentagon Panel Recommends Denying Troops Guns

Under Democrat rule, the military is undergoing the fundamental transformation that reduces every institution corrupted by moonbattery to a pathetic joke. A Pentagon panel has recommended troops under age 25 be restricted from buying guns lest they shoot themselves:

The Suicide Prevention and Response Independent Review Committee (SPRIRC) was formed by the Department of Defense in March 2020 to help combat the rising rate of suicides among servicemembers.

In the committee’s report, released Friday, the independent body recommends, “On DoD property, raise the minimum age for purchasing firearms and ammunition to 25 years.”

They really mean it:

The committee designated the suggested ban on gun purchases for soldiers under 25 as “high priority” and a factor that “must change.”

When it comes to suicide, where there is a will, there is away. Nanny state authoritarians ignore this as they bark that if you are killed by a gun, it will probably be your own. Having taken control, these people are now implementing policies based on their talking points.

It would be difficult for soldiers to defend a country that will not entrust them with firearms. But that is not an issue, as the ongoing invasion across the southern border attests. Liberals see the military as a social engineering laboratory, not a fighting force. Guns are superfluous. The important thing is to instill CRT and LGBT indoctrination in captive young minds.

Rather than employ constructive solutions like deploying the military, Democrats have addressed the border crisis by blathering about root causes. But they will not apply this approach to suicide in the military, because the root cause is cratering morale resulting from liberal subversion. Denying troops guns lest they hurt themselves will not improve the esprit de corps.

Gun control has proved to be a grievous failure, a means of disarming honest citizens without limiting firepower available to those who prey on the law-abiding.
