Piers Morgan’s latest asshattery: Police officer who disarmed Atlanta school shooter did not really stop the shooting

Piers is either a buffoon, or he is just trying to keep his 15 minutes going

An armed guard successfully disarmed a 14-year-old shooter who had opened fire at an Atlanta middle school on Thursday. Thanks to the courageous off-duty school resource officer, only one student was shot and no one was killed.

Yet CNN host Piers Morgan on Friday argued that the armed guard, an unidentified off-duty Atlanta police officer, “was NOT able to stop” the Atlanta school shooting, apparently because the teen shooter was able to shoot just one student before he was stopped.

“REVEALED: Armed guard was NOT able to stop Atlanta school shooting,” Morgan posted via his official Twitter account. He then linked to a story with a headline that completely contradicted his questionable claim. “Armed guard disarmed teen in Atlanta school shooting, says police chief,” the headline read.

Here is a hint Piers, do not link a story that refutes your claim. But, I suppose in your haste to score points, you chose to ignore the facts. The fact is this. You seem to be intent on never admitting that anyone who is armed EVER stops any crimes. You are not interested in honest, open debate are you Piers? Of course not, because you know open honest debates will expose your vacuous arguments for what they are, nothing but Leftist clap trap!

 

Your Marxist Moron of the Day is NY Governor Andrew Cuomo

Andrew Cuomo, Marxist Moron

What a clueless political hack this man is. Chris Wysocki lays Cuomo‘s idiocy bare

Are the police above the law? Do they get the “David Gregory Exemption?” Because in his haste to Do Something New York Governor Andrew Cuomo forgot to exempt them from his draconian new gun control law. That’s right, if a cop is carrying more than 7 bullets, he’s breaking the law.

Even better, if a cop brings a gun to a school, he’s breaking the law.

The NY SAFE Act, which was championed and signed into law by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, bans all magazines that hold more than seven bullets and pre-1994 high capacity magazines, and prohibits the carrying of guns on school grounds.

But because no loophole for law enforcement was included in the law, every police officer in the state is technically in violation of the statute even though the prohibition is unlikely to be enforced, according to New York Assemblyman Al Graf.

Graf — a former New York City police officer and the ranking Republican member of the assembly’s powerful Codes Committee — says that the ban could even impede the efforts of officers to respond to a school shooting.

“The language is unclear, and to go further, a cop cannot go on school property with a gun,” Graf told The Daily Caller. “They weren’t exempted from that, either.”

There was actually a story that was relayed to me the other day about a New York City police officer who went to a school the other day to pick up his kid, and the security guard told him that if he came to the school with his off-duty gun he would be arrested,” Graf continued.

Arrest the cops! I’d pay to see that. And to see the egg on the faces of the stupid liberals who created this mess in the first place. Knee-jerk liberal idiots, turning everyone into felons — even the police!. For the children of course.

This is one of the unintended consequences when politicians, usually liberal politicians contract Do-Something-Itis! They go into emoting mode, and spit out some ineffective knee-jerk legislation that does as much harm, if not ore, than it does good.

A list of President Obama’s 23 executive orders on gun violence

Via the Lid, who sums up the usefulness of these EO’s

What a pile of nothing. Both the POTUS and the SCHMOTUS had been warning that Obama would take hard constructive action on gun control.  For days advocates of the constitution were worried that Obama would seek to destroy the Second Amendment by executive fiat. Instead his actions were the typical political “We will do better and we will study.” One thing the POTUS missed…there is no executive order preventing the Federal Government from selling weapons to Mexican Drug Cartels…everyone would support that one. 

Basically, these 23 EO’s are a pile of emptiness. Of course, the Democrats can use these later when they do nothing at all to stop the next high-profile shooting. They can then tell us that they did not go far enough. Of course, they can say the very same thing if they get a new assault weapon ban pushed through too. They new that new gun laws will not prevent the next school shooting, but, they are hoping they can get some more restrictions in place now. Then, when those restrictions are ineffective, they can use their emotional appeals to aim for even more restrictions in the future. The Left is all about getting what they want incrementally folks. This is why we must never sleep on them. They are persistent if nothing else.

Chris, at Wyblog points out two troublesome items from the list

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.  

17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.

I do not like these either. I have never had a doctor ask me about guns in my home, and I would never answer such a question, but, again, this is one of those cases where we might rightfully wonder where these two executive orders could lead.

Your doctor is spying on you. And depending on what you tell him, he’ll rat you out to Dear Leader faster than you can say “Second Amendment.” Because it’s now his duty to ask you about your guns.

Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker started us down the fascist trail by offering a $1,000 bounty to folks who turn in their gun-owning neighbors. Dear Leader took it one better. Your doctor can’t tell you if your teenage daughter asks for birth control pills. But now he’s required to tell the feds if you own a gun.

Remember when asking librarians to report “suspicious” reference requests was tantamount to detonating the pillars of our civilization? Me neither.

Yeah, so much for that patient confidentialty and “right to privacy” thing. It only applies when it doesn’t conflict with progressive groupthink. Like I said, fascism.

As I stated above, never trust the political Left. Always assume they have ulterior motives. And remember that their number one priority has always been total control of our lives. 

Some very good questions for those screaming for us to ban guns

Over at The Daily Clash, there is a great list of excellent questions that ought to be posed those calling for more gun laws in the wake of the Newtown school massacre. Be sure to go read them all, but here are my favorites

Did you know that the shooter had an altercation with school staff when he tried to enter the school the day before the shooting?

Doesn’t Connecticut already have some of the strictest gun laws?

Wasn’t this school a gun-free-zone?

I would add this one. What law could be pass that the gunman would have obeyed?

Also, I had a discussion at work today with two men. One of them was denouncing the “rednecks” who love guns. He seemed to believe that limiting magazine capacity, and limiting the number of bullets one could purchase would be good ideas. As a bartender, I stay out of political conversations, unless someone asks me my opinion. This man did ask for my thoughts. I said the best way to handle the prevention of mass shootings in schools is with armed, trained security. His response made me angry. Without missing a beat he said that we could not afford that. I responded that with all the money spent on education, and the worsening results, we ought to address safety first. And between the States, counties, Washington DC, and parents, the money could be found. What I did not say was that if the government mandates your child attend school, then their first, and most serious obligation is to protect your child.

After the two men paid, one of them, the one that was silent, came back and said I had raised a great point, one that made sense. He noted the heroic principal that went at the gunman. “Too bad she was not armed.” he said. “Yes,” I answered “maybe she would not have stopped him, but, she would have had a much better chance.” I find it odd that Liberals wish to continue NOT allowing people like that principal even the choice of carrying a gun.

 

Break time

All of this blogging and writing about the school shooting has worn me out. Too emotionally draining, my eyes look like Hell, it seems that since the birth of my niece Savanna Grace and nephew Logan Alexander, and the passing of Logan at only three months that I get extra emotional over kids. Frankly, I dread the time when Savannah will have to start kindergarten, she is three now, not because I do not want her to grow up, or make friends, but because I do not trust our government to protect her. 

So, I am going to go do some house cleaning and watch football, and oh yeah, play with my niece Talk to y’all later

 

Morally retarded publicity whores threaten to descend on Sandy Hook Elementary

The Westboro Bastards Church is going to go too far one day. 

I cannot think of a more cruel bunch of trash. To seek to inflict more pain upon these families? If these miscreants possess souls they must be black. Like I said one day they will picket the wrong person’s funeral. 

I guess the Left would argue we need “evil control”

Since the Left deludes themselves into believing that a law will make violent criminals, of nut cases behave, why don’t they just demand a new bill banning evil? Which is exactly what caused the school shooting Friday, evil! Stacy McCain makes a great point

Meanwhile, the New York Times has a story about the shooter’s first victim, his mother. Something that crosses my mind: You start your murder spree by shooting your own mother in the face, and end it by killing yourself — why kill all 26 innocent women and children in between?

Evil.

Adam Lanza wasn’t “autistic” or suffering from an “illness.” He was evil.

 

 

Daniel Greenfield: The only way to stop a bad man with a gun is with a gun

Greenfield is a great writer, and he lays out the rational position on gun ownership here

It takes a gun to stop a man with a gun. That is the hard truth of human affairs. It is why we have a Second Amendment, it is why we have armies and police, and it is why people own guns.

There is no going back to a time before people owned guns. There is no going back to a time when violence did not exist. There is only the reality that killers stalk the streets and that we can either defend against them or take comfort in empty outrage.

Guns stop shootings. Not all the time and not every time, but they do. Gun control does not. Media coverage calling for gun control does not.

Go read it all, including the numerous cases in Europe where bad guys have walked into schools and murdered kids despite Europe’s vaunted gun control measures. Laws do not stop killers, force does. Murder is evil, and those that would end mayhem and murder by disarming the law-abiding are aiding evil whether they know it or not.

I just could not write about anything today

For several reasons.

Too angry at our education system that blows through money like crazy, but cannot pay to have proper armed security in our schools.

Too angry at those who could not wait to use this unspeakable tragedy as political fodder.

Too enraged that such evil exists.

Too angry that so many will refuse to lay the blame where it belongs.

Too sad for those poor babies, and their families. Their lives are devastated beyond repair. 

Too angry that some other psycho bastard will be “inspired” by this, and too scared that once again, no one will be there to stop them because we are too PC to actually take the needed steps to prevent their evil act.

Too, too many damned things today. Dear Lord why, why?
