Another tragic shooting has rocked Manhattan, and once again the left will demand more gun laws that don’t work. On July 28th, Shane Devon Tamura drove across America with a rifle and killed four innocent people at 345 Park Avenue. He shot an off-duty police officer, business executives, and security guards before taking his own life.
This madman traveled from Las Vegas to New York City with his weapon, passing through multiple states with strict gun laws. None of those regulations stopped him from getting to Manhattan and carrying out his evil plan. The gun control crowd will ignore this obvious fact and push for even more failed policies.
New York already has some of the toughest gun laws in America, yet criminals keep finding ways to hurt good people. Law-abiding citizens follow the rules while killers like Tamura ignore every single restriction. More paperwork and waiting periods would not have saved these four victims.
The heroes in this story were the security guards and police officers who tried to protect others. Officer Didarul Islam died trying to keep people safe, leaving behind a pregnant wife and two children. These brave Americans represent the best of our country, not the politicians who exploit tragedies.
AWR Hawkins is absolutely right that doubling down on gun control is pure foolishness. We have decades of proof that criminals don’t care about gun laws, permit requirements, or background checks. They will always find ways to get weapons and hurt innocent people.
Instead of attacking the Second Amendment rights of patriots, we should focus on mental health and keeping dangerous people locked up. Tamura apparently had brain injury issues and drove across the country planning murder. The system failed to stop him, not because we need more gun laws.
Americans deserve leaders who will protect them from criminals, not politicians who blame law-abiding gun owners for everything. Every time there’s a shooting, the same failed politicians demand the same failed solutions that have never worked anywhere.
We need to defend our constitutional rights and reject the lies about gun control being the answer. The only thing that stops bad guys with guns is good guys with guns, and we must never forget that truth.
