Woman uses CAR to plow into crowd… why not blame the CAR?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Alright, we've got some sad news here today.
Four people are dead after a 25-year-old woman has plowed her car into a homecoming parade crowd at the Oklahoma State University.
44 people have been wounded and sent to the hospital.
The four dead include at least one child, a two-year-old boy.
This car just went full speed into the crowd.
And so I want to send out prayers and condolences to the family members of this horrible tragedy that should not have happened and this massacre.
That has been caused by a woman who used a vehicle to murder people.
And now I want to ask the question beyond the sadness and beyond the prayers.
And this question is a serious question and it gets to the politics of our nation.
And the question is this.
Why aren't the gun controllers on the left blaming the car?
Why isn't the car manufacturer being sued for the deaths of these people?
Why is the driver blamed?
You see, because when people are killed by a crazy person, usually on psychiatric medication, who uses a gun to kill or wound a similar number of people, all the people on the left, the political left in the United States, blame the gun and the gun manufacturer And they say that we should ban guns.
Well, then why aren't we banning cars?
A woman killed four people and wounded 44 more.
There may be yet other deaths that we don't know about.
And in fact, it's not just this woman and this massacre.
There are, I don't know how many thousands of deaths every year in the United States from people who are driving cars and killing people with them.
Why aren't we banning cars?
Isn't it time to ban cars?
And this 25-year-old woman, she didn't need a background check to buy this car.
So obviously we need background checks for car purchases in order to protect the public from car massacres.
But it's a serious question.
I'm not being facetious.
This is a serious question.
Why is it allowable for someone to kill people with a car, and yet the car doesn't get the blame?
When if someone kills people with a firearm, then the gun gets the blame.
Now I know some of you may be listening to this, and you have an answer to this in your head, and your answer is this.
Well, cars are primarily designed to be used for transportation, not killing people.
Guns are primarily designed, you think, for killing people.
That's the difference that I've heard from people who hate guns.
Well, I can tell you you're...
You're incredibly wrong on that point.
Guns are never designed to kill people.
That's not the intention at all.
In fact, in nearly every use of a firearm, that firearm is used to de-escalate violence and save lives and protect lives.
And if you don't believe me, ask yourself.
If a murderer or mugger or gang member showed up at your front door right now, banging on your door, breaking in your window, started to come in, what would you do?
You would pick up the phone and dial 911, probably, if you're an anti-gun person, right?
Why do you call 911?
The answer, whether you wish to admit it or not, is because you want men with guns to come to your house and do what?
Stop the violence.
Mm-hmm.
So even in your own actions, you are admitting that guns are used to stop violence.
You are not calling 911 and screaming on the phone, come here and shoot this person.
You're actually screaming, come here and protect me.
So you admit that guns are used to protect lives, especially your life in that circumstance.
Now, some of you who are listening to this who are pro-gun, you wouldn't call 911, and I don't blame you.
You would just grab your pistol and take care of it yourself.
That's called self-reliance.
That's called self-defense.
And in Texas, that's called defending your castle.
So someone breaks through your window, you shoot them, the cops show up, they give you a high-five.
Because you shot a bad guy who was breaking into your home, and that's one way firearms are used to protect lives, to protect your family, to protect your children.
So guns are not designed to kill people, nor are they designed or intended to cause violence or cause harm.
They are issued, in fact, to police departments all around the world by every government With the support of virtually every citizen for the purpose of defending lives, preventing violence, de-escalating violence.
And if you don't believe me on this point that guns are used to de-escalate violence, then ask yourself, would you want the police in your city to be disarmed?
If you are anti-gun, in other words, and you think nobody should have guns, does that include the police?
If you answer honestly, your answer would be no.
You want the police armed because you want them to use guns to defend life and prevent violence.
Correct?
Of course it's correct.
Nobody who's anti-gun says we want the police to have no guns either.
What are you going to do if the police have no guns?
Are you going to send them out into the streets with slingshots?
Are they going to throw rocks at them?
What are the dark guns?
Paintball guns?
How are they going to De-escalate violence if they don't have the ability to threaten violence against the attackers.
You see, guns are used to assert the right to invoke violence if someone doing something bad does not comply with the request to stop harming someone or threatening some innocent person.
The mere presence of a gun is the presence of the threat of violence, but not the act of violence itself.
This is why most guns are never used in violence.
Most guns are used to prevent violence.
So getting back to this car business in Oklahoma, this tragedy, all these people were killed and injured by this drunk driver, and yet we blame the driver and not the car.
That's interesting, but in a shooting, we blame the gun more than the person.
Well, what about when a white cop shoots a black citizen?
We hear a lot of news about this, and it happens from time to time.
Why is the white cop blamed and not the gun?
Isn't this an interesting point?
When a white psychopath shoots up a movie theater, we blame the gun.
When a white police officer shoots a black person, we blame the police officer, not the gun.
Why is that?
The answer is because it has to be made into a hate crime and no one will believe you if you say that guns hate black people.
So you have to attribute it to the police officer and say the white cop hates the black person and that's why he shot them.
It just wouldn't make any sense to say guns only shoot black people and not white people.
And no one would believe that.
It's just too ludicrous even for leftists to believe, although they'll believe almost anything.
So, you see, who gets blamed is all based on politics and not reality.
A woman uses a tool, that is a car, drives into a crowd, kills a bunch of people.
They blame the woman.
A young man uses a gun to shoot up a theater.
They blame the gun.
A police officer with a gun uses the gun to kill a black person.
They blame the cop.
They blame hatred.
They blame racism.
So you see, there's no consistency across any of this.
So let me lay it out for you what the real consistency is, in case you're curious.
Guns and cars and hammers and other objects, they're all tools.
They're all tools that can be used for good or evil.
They can be used to save lives or they can be used to destroy lives.
What matters is the intent of the person that's controlling the tool.
It is their intent that determines the outcome, that determines how these are used.
In the case of a mass shooter, it's the person whose mind is altered by the psychiatric drugs who decides to pull the trigger when the tool that he has purchased is aimed at someone, and thus he destroys their life on purpose.
In the case of the car and the driver, it is the lack of good judgment by the driver that gets into the car, perhaps drunk or perhaps medicated, who drives that car into a crowd, perhaps on purpose or maybe inadvertently, depending on the circumstances.
But it is the person who directed the car.
The car did not seek out the crowd.
This is not a Stephen King novel come to life.
The car isn't killing people.
In the case of the cop, circumstances vary.
Sure, there is some racism in police departments across the country, but by and large, cops do a very difficult job.
And they're asked to do the impossible, which is to de-escalate violence in a society that is increasingly insane and medicated and people hopped up on drugs all the time and out of control.
And cops, overall, do a pretty darn good job.
From time to time they make mistakes.
Maybe some of those mistakes are race-based, but I think, by and large, they are not.
By and large, most cops are trying to just get home alive, do their jobs, Not cause violence and not get killed in the process.
I know there are exceptions to that.
There are some bad apples in the police.
They do exist, but they're not the majority.
So think about this.
Anytime someone talks to you about gun control, ask them about car control or medication control.
The reasons that you're given behind all of these things vary based on the politics of the person who wants you to believe their agenda rather than the reality of what's actually happening.
And I want you to think about this from the point of view of reality.
