The murder of 9 people at the Emmanuel AME church in Charleston, SC has left many reeling in shock and pain; the family members, parishioners, and friends most of all. The speculation about the criminal shooter and his motives (I refuse to use his name) has been running rampant. It is human nature to want to find out WHY someone would do something so evil. It is human nature to want to get answers as to WHY someone can hate someone so much because of their color, their religion, or their race.
We all want those answers, and we want them in hopes that we can understand and finally stop this kind of hatred and evil from inflicting the pain that the people of Charleston, SC are dealing with right now. However, several prominent people yesterday have already put forth their idea of what the answer is. As we noted here, President Obama was pretty much first out of the gate with the idea that if we have gun control, then this won’t happen again.
Late yesterday afternoon, Candidate Hillary, speaking to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, decided to jump on the bandwagon:
Hillary, at the same time that she was offering her condolences, basically called for a national conversation about guns.
Saying it was time to “face hard truths about race, violence, guns and division,” Hillary Rodham Clinton called for action Thursday in response to the shooting that killed nine worshipers at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C.
“Let’s unite in partnership not just to talk but to act,” Clinton said in a speech to a large gathering of Latino policymakers in Las Vegas. “As we mourn and as our hearts break a little more … we will not forsake those who have been victimized by gun violence.”
However, thus far she hasn’t offered any ideas or potential solutions as to why and what types of gun control would stop something like this from ever happening again. In fact, if some brave reporter attempts to ask her to elaborate, he or she will get this reaction and likely be banned from future events:
However, while she is gallivanting around the country, a few people are asking Hillary Hard Truths of their own:
Hillary Clinton who approved massive amounts of arms deals to Saudi Arabia through her foundation wants to talk about gun control.

While Mrs. Clinton in on gun control perhaps 1 of the 76 GOP candidates can remind us she violated about 37 different arms trafficking laws.

Ruh Roh Raggy! That pesky secret squirrel emails/foundation monster rears its head again. Dagnabit, people are supposed to STOP talking about that stuff because, as Queen Hillary so eloquently stated, “What Difference Does It Make?”
Well, umm errr… it makes lots of difference. You see, as many others are asking, why are Hillary and Obama making this about gun control; when even the gunman clearly stated that his motives are related to race. Therefore, how can gun control repair race relations? Inquiring minds want to know:
Obama .@TheDemocrats & @HillaryClinton are going 2 iGNORE the RACISM & TERRORISM of #DylannRoof 2 deflect 2 Gun Control? so over DEMS & PBO

You know what? She’s right. All of a sudden everyone is talking about gun control when instead the elephants in the room are Racism and Terrorism. Ladies and Gentlemen, gun control will not address the root causes of Racism OR Terrorism. Will tightened background checks, or rebalancing the access to guns in the country help solve those two issues? If anyone has the answer, I’d really like to know.
In fact, I’m positive that Hillary herself doesn’t know what the answers are. But then, she’s spent the last 30 or so years being surrounded by and protected by good people who wear guns 24/7. You know, like that time in Rome when she went strolling around on a shopping spree surrounded by guys with guns:
It will be a long road to understanding, even remotely, the psyche of someone so hateful and likely we’ll never get the answers to our questions. In fact we are still searching for answers regarding Columbine, Sandy Hook, Charlie Hebdo, or the James Holmes theatre shooting. Not only that, but gun control won’t give us answers as to what drove the shooter to murder 9 innocent people at the Emmanuel AME church in Charleston, SC 3 days ago. Here’s some Hard Truth for Candidate Hillary:
@PolitiBunny @HillaryClinton The hard truth is the existing gun laws were broken to get Roof the gun.

Hillary, like it or not, gun control isn’t the cure. The national conversation you want so badly to have should be about Racism and Terrorism, the breaking of CURRENT laws, and how to stop the hatred that drove the shooter to inflict terror and pain on innocent people.
Hey clueless Lefties-guess what? If the turd who killed those 9 people didn’t have a gun to kill them with and he was really bent on killing them he could have just as easily firebombed that church. Or place a conventional bomb in it. How do you prevent THAT? Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 9/11 proved that-who would have expected airplanes to be used as missiles? The ingenuity of twisted minds often keeps the crazies and the fanatics one step ahead of normal people-this is an unfortunate fact of life in today’s world.
I am so sick of these Lefties and their infantile “solutions” to problems they themselves often concoct out of thin air. And I am sick of them ALWAYS exploiting tragedies like these to push their idiotic agendas. it would be refreshing for them to just STFU for once when something like this happens-this would actually show some respect for the victims instead of using them as disposable tools for their twisted ends. But then again the Left is never known for having good taste.
Couldn’t agree more!
Unfortunately they will never realize that it takes years and even generations of hard work to do one’s best to stop such hatred. Gun control sure isn’t the cure, thinking it is is like futile swatting at the cloud of giant mosquitos circling madly around one’s head.
Since this particular shooter obtained his gun as a gift from a family member, exactly what “gun control” law would they propose to stop it? A law against transferring guns to family members? All sales, all gifts, all inheritances??
In South Carolina, taking a concealed firearm into a place of worship is prohibited. When someone is intent on murder, violating a few laws which control the behavior of law abiding persons to restrict their access to firearms and other means of self-defense, is no deterrent.
