D. Parker is an engineer, which may explain why I have an affinity for his 5 Freedom-Based Solutions to Mass Shootings. One thing I especially like about his 5 solutions is that they specifically argue against the instrumentality theory of crime.
What is the instrumentality theory? The notion that the amount of crime depends on the availability of the tools used to commit crime. Thus, under this theory, more guns = more crimes. But a cursory review of crime statistics shows that if guns were not available, murders would still be committed by knives, swords, hammers, screw drivers, steel pipes, baseball bats, neck ties, fists...well, the list is seemingly endless. Parker even brings back the now hard to find Male Your Own Gunfree Zone video. It is an amusing illustration of what would happen if Leftists instrumentality theory actually worked. But it does not.
As D. Parker points out, there is no need to take away the Constitutionally protected rights of Americans.
The fact is that repeating firearms have been around for 180 years, while semi-automatic firearms have been in existence for over a century. These types of mass murder attacks have been a phenomenon for only the past 30–40 years. Clearly, the cause is something other than the availability of guns.
We need to look at what society has been doing to our children for the past few decades, instead of what types of inanimate objects have been around for over 100 years. That will be the true solution to the problem, not trying to deprive the people of their common-sense civil rights.
So, why is it that no matter the situation, the only solution the Left proposes is the one that takes away guns from the average citizen? Like everything else, the Left intends to tear down this country. They are intent on destroying our rights, all of them including your 2nd Amendment rights. That is why they will never stop trying to take away your ability to use the most effective means of self defense. You and I therefore must be ever vigilant.
