Gun Control for We but Not for Thee

Audio By Carbonatix

And here we are again. Like clockwork. More instances of gun violence in Canada and Rhode Island, that the Left doesn’t want to talk about, know about, or address. There will be minimal calls for red flag laws or gun-control, and the media will allow both to quietly drift into obscurity. Again. Because somehow trans violence isn’t really violence at all, it’s a continuation of “the struggle” or “resistance.”

Two more shooting incidents. Two more headlines. Two more moments that feel so painfully familiar that the talking points can be copied and pasted from the last one.

This week, we watched tragedy unfold in Canada, where a school became the scene of terror. Hard to say the culprit was “Trump’s America,” eh?

And then again in Rhode Island, where a hockey game turned into horror as a father killed his ex-wife and child, then himself. Also, not an issue of ICE, white nationalism, or other conservative core issues.

Different locations. Different settings.

Same national script.

And immediately, the same responses briefly follow:

Gun control.
Mental health.
Hate.
Radicalization.
Red flag laws.

We regurgitate outrage long enough to make interview soundbites…but not long enough to do anything more than talk.

Because what we are witnessing is not random.

It is patterned.

It is cultural.

And it is deeply connected to a society that has lost the ability to tell the difference between stability and instability—between truth and confusion—between compassion and chaos.

Red Flags Aren’t Missing. We’re Ignoring Them.

The conversation always turns to “red flags,” as if these tragedies come out of nowhere.

But they don’t.

The problem is not that warning signs are invisible.

The problem is that warning signs have been normalized.

We are raising young people in an environment untethered to reality—where identity is fluid, truth is negotiable, and emotional instability is reframed as bravery.

We have created a culture where confusion is not treated as a crisis…but as a virtue. And then we elect the most confused and manipulative to public office and rope off the bathrooms while they are in them.

When Chaos is Celebrated, Violence is Inevitable

We have normalized mental illness, instability, and ideological obsession so thoroughly that discerning danger becomes nearly impossible.

How can a teacher, a parent, or a community intervene when the very behaviors that once signaled distress are now defended as identity?

How can we “red flag” a young person spiraling into delusion when delusion itself has become socially protected? Celebrated and Elevated?

We are told to affirm what is disconnected from biology, history, and reality…

…and then we act shocked when reality collapses violently in public.

A Generation Untethered

Our willingness to tolerate chaos, confusion, and deception is creating a generation that is:

Less grounded
More fragile
More self-centric
More reactive
Less capable of empathy
Unbound to consequences
Unbound to truth

What could go wrong?

Apparently…this.

Again.

And again.

And again.

We will continue to see violence in schools, arenas, and public life as long as we refuse to address the deeper roots:

• We are not forming children in truth.
• We are forming them in instability.
• We are not teaching them to endure hardship.
• We are teaching them to reconstruct reality.
• We are not discipling maturity.
• We are applauding confusion.
• We criminalize any dissent.

This Is Not Just Policy. It’s Culture. It’s Truth.

These tragedies will not be solved by slogans.

They will not be solved by hashtags.

They will not be solved by political theater.

We will continue to reap this destruction as long as we lack the courage to parent well, lead well, and honor what is true.

Truth matters.

Reality matters.

And mentally unstable people without either are being handed matches while sitting atop mounds of dry tinder.

Here is my “Red Flag Warning” from September 2024.
