CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 14, 2022
DID YOU NOTICE THAT THE DAY AFTER PRESIDENT BIDEN DELIVERED AN ADDRESS ABOUT GHOST GUNS, A MAN ATTACKED SUBWAY CAR RIDERS IN BROOKLYN, INJURING 19, INCLUDING 10 WHO WERE SHOT? FIVE OF THE VICTIMS WERE IN CRITICAL, BUT STABLE CONDITION AS OF LATE TUESDAY.
THE IRONY SHOULD NOT BE MISSED. NEW YORK HAS SOME OF THE TOUGHEST GUN LAWS IN THE COUNTRY. SO DO OTHER CITIES AND STATES WHERE CRIMINALS USE GUNS TO COMMIT THEIR CRIMES.
HERE’S THE LESSON: CRIMINALS WOULD NOT BE CRIMINALS IF THEY OBEYED LAWS. PUT ANOTHER WAY, THE DEFINITION OF A CRIMINAL IS ONE WHO BREAKS THE LAW. THE PROBLEM IS DISTRICT ATTORNEYS, PAROLE BOARDS AND POLITICIANS WHO DON’T PROSECUTE CRIMINALS SUFFICIENTLY. THEY LET THEM OUT OF PRISON EARLY AND THE MOST VIOLENT AMONG THEM COMMIT MORE CRIMES; OR THEY OFFER LOW, OR NO BAIL, AND THE RESULT IS THEY COMMIT NEW CRIMES AGAINST THE PUBLIC.
PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISORDERS, LIKE THE SUBWAY SHOOTER APPARENTLY HAS, SHOULD BE CARED FOR IN AN INSTITUTION, NOT ALLOWED TO ROAM THE STREETS.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS WE NEED MORE GUN LAWS. NAME ME ONE LAW THAT A CRIMINAL WILL OBEY IF THAT CRIMINAL IS INTENT ON DOING HARM. YOU CAN’T. I’M CAL THOMAS.
