EPISODE IV: EUROPE STRIKES BACK
STONKS PARK · SEASON 2

[Colion Noir @MrColionNoir]

An armed dad reportedly stopped a school shooter in Oregon.

Then someone on Instagram said:

“Good guy with a gun is not the answer.”

Wait… WHAT?

She says we should prevent school shootings instead of relying on “blind luck.”

I agree prevention matters.

But the school had locked doors.

The shooter got through them.

Police arrived in about three minutes.

And an armed civilian was already there.

She calls it luck.

But he made a decision to carry long before that day.

And when he saw what was happening, he made another decision.

He went inside.

Here's my question:

If an armed citizen stops a school shooter, is that proof armed civilians can make a difference, or does the fact that a shooting happened mean prevention already failed?

I want to hear both sides.

🚨THE BIDEN TAPES THEY FOUGHT LIKE HELL TO BURY JUST DROPPED — AND NOW WE KNOW WHY

70 hours of raw audio the Bidens and Democrats spent a fortune trying to keep locked away.

Jesse Watters played the receipts: a full decade ago, while he was still VP, Biden was already a blithering mess who couldn’t even remember the names of his own staff.

This is the cognitive decline they gaslit the entire country about for years. This is why Special Counsel Hur called him a “sympathetic elderly man with a poor memory” to dodge charges. The tapes prove it started way earlier — and they knew.

They covered it. They protected it. They let an incapacitated man sit in the Oval while the media lied to your face.

No more hiding. The truth is out in full.

An audience member asks Harvard Law Professor Randall Kennedy how he can claim conservatives aren't discriminated against in academia, after she had to lie about her political views on papers to graduate college and fears being passed over for promotions because of her politics.

Everybody wants a safety on their first gun.

I get it.

When you are new to guns, a safety feels comforting.

It feels like the thing that keeps the gun from just going off.

But this video shows the other side.

A man allegedly pointed a gun at his ex-wife in a packed restaurant and tried to pull the trigger.

The gun did not fire because the safety was still on.

That may have saved her life.

But now flip it.

Imagine someone breaks into your house.

You draw.

You are justified.

You press the trigger.

Nothing.

Because the safety is still on.

That is the part new gun owners do not think about.

Under stress, your brain drops small details.

Your hands lose fine motor skill.

That tiny lever you thought you would remember?

You might not.

I know because I have done it in training.

Manual safeties are not automatically bad.

But if you carry one, you better train until sweeping it off happens without thinking.

Because the worst sound in a real fight is silence.

Be honest:

Would you trust yourself to remember a manual safety under stress?

@The_RomaArmy The woman in that video might as well have been my ex-wife. Sure, divorce was incredibly difficult. Sure, splitting the family was incredibly difficult. And even though I'm not "back on my feet" the way I think I should be, I'm glad I don't go home to her anymore.
