Today’s read is from blogger and columnist known for his lists, John Hawkins. Here’s an excerpt:

The whole idea that you could be relaxed, in a safe public space and have some nutjob try to kill you for no reason is understandably frightening. This is why gun control advocates have begun trying to deliberately mislead the public by lumping in lunatics trying to kill innocent people with gangbangers popping off at each other in the statistics for “mass shootings.”

The non-stop news coverage gives people the impression that it’s far more common than it actually happens to be. Again, it’s always sad when someone dies, PARTICULARLY a child, but statistically, your kid is far more likely to die in the tub than in a school shooting. So contrary to how it’s portrayed, we’re talking about a rarely occurring event.

Certainly, the “solution” offered by gleeful gun control advocates every time there’s a mass shooting won’t work. So, what might work? Let me suggest a few ideas, most of which don’t get taken nearly as seriously as they should be by a media that primarily looks at school shootings as a great opportunity to push a liberal agenda.
