“If we save just one life it is worth it”. This is the battle cry of gun control advocates and legislators every time a new gun control bill is introduced. They tell us that restricting guns, banning what they call “Assault” weapons and further infringing on the only right that explicitly states “Shall not be infringed” is key to saving the lives of our fellow Americans and especially our children.

We have seen a tremendous push towards passing so called “Red Flag” laws. These laws would allow authorities to take away the guns of a person who has not committed a crime based on testimony by someone else claiming that the person is a threat to themselves or to society.

Earlier this week a 17-year-old male student entered the high school where he attended and while undergoing his daily pat down for weapons he shot 2 administrators and fled. His body was later discovered in a forest from a self inflicted gunshot wound.
