The same people who want to disarm us are the very ones setting up all the necessary conditions for an American Beslan. – David Codrea
The predictable reaction from doctrinaire gun-grabbers following the Florida school atrocities has been to ignore demonstrable causal factors and focus on citizen disarmament. What we see unfolding in the latest “children’s crusade” tactic is but a variation of the preferred “progressive” approach of using emotion to inflame “feelings.”
That doesn’t change the fact that the world works based on what is, not the way we might wish it to be. And the fact remains you could give the antis everything they ask for… scratch that, everything they demand, and here’s what happened in a country that did:
“The Beslan school siege (also referred to as the Beslan school hostage crisis or Beslan massacre started on 1 September 2004, lasted three days, involved the illegal imprisonment of over 1,100 people as hostages (including 777 children), and ended with the deaths of at least 334 people. The crisis began when a group of armed Islamic militants, mostly Ingush and Chechen, occupied School Number One (SNO) in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia (an autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation) on 1 September 2004. The hostage-takers were the Riyadus-Salikhin Battalion, sent by the Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev, who demanded recognition of the independence of Chechnya, and Russian withdrawal from Chechnya. On the third day of the standoff, Russian security forces stormed the building with the use of tanks, incendiary rockets and other heavy weapons. As of December 2006, 334 people (excluding terrorists) were killed, including 186 children.”
