Jacksonville County Sheriff T.K. Waters went off on people who jumped on the shooting that killed three black people to push their anti-gun narrative.
Waters fed them a truth pill:
“The story is always about guns — people are bad — this guy’s a bad guy,” Waters said. “If I could take my gun off right now, and I lay it on this counter, nothing will happen. It’ll sit there — but as soon as wicked person grabs ahold of that handgun and starts shooting people with it — there’s the problem.”“The problem is the individual,” he added. “Now guns are a tool that people use to do horrible things. But it’s the individuals that wield these things. So we are working hard to try to stop that. But in this situation, in this case, there was nothing saying—, there was nothing illegal about him owning the firearms.”
Good for Waters.
The left never wants to blame the perpetrator. It’s always someone else’s fault, especially politicians, because it’s just way too easy to get guns! Mental health! Society! Trump!
Ryan Christopher Palmeter had many manifestos and writings filled with hatred towards minorities. I wrote about how the Jacksonville police released the writings, but we still don’t have the Nashville shooter’s manifesto.
Palmeter killed himself.
Palmeter also bought the guns legally. He did not have a criminal record or red flags.
But one thing makes the mental health screams become questionable and a slippery slope.
In 2017, Palmeter “was briefly held under a state law called the Baker Act, which states a person can be ‘taken to a receiving facility for involuntary examination’ during a mental health crisis.”
Will the left use this as a way to control who can get a gun in Florida? Where would it stop? You have doctor-patient privilege. Also, the majority of people who have a mental health crisis (I had a small one a few years ago) are not violent people, nor are we racist or hateful.
