Gun control, as envisioned by the left, is a “heads I win, tails you lose” proposition. When discussing indisputable facts, including that the overwhelming number of deaths caused by the use of firearms occurs when those firearms are illegally obtained and possessed by black males in Democrat-controlled cities, the left argues that the problem is exclusively the gun and refuses dialogue on any other issue.Surprise, the shooter, Vester Lee Flanagan, in the WDJB-TV live shooting passed a background check! Flanagan was not the only mass shooter to pass a "Universal Background Check. Jared and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Aaron Ybarra (Seattle Pacific University), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barabara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School), Paul Ciancia (LAX), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), James Holmes (Aurora theater), Nidal Hasan (Fort Hood 2009), and Naveed Haq (Seattle) all went through background checks to acquire their firearms as well.
When the crime involves a black man shooting white victims, whether one or several, it cannot be discussed that the motivation was or may have been racial, so it’s still entirely about the gun. This is true even when the motive is overtly racial, as it was in Virginia.
...................
An interesting phenomenon occurs when, on the other hand, a white person does the shooting. Suddenly, it’s all about race, and racism, and hatred. The gun still matters, of course, but now the motivations and skin color matter to disproportionate degrees. The opportunity to paint with a broad brush, and to implicate whiteness and lawful gun ownership as the cause of the crime, cannot be wasted.
The purpose of the check is to create a National Gun Registry, in the hopes, one day in the future, to have a list for confiscation.
