Evan Todd survived the Columbine shooting 25 years ago. And he’s speaking out about the “maddening” call for more gun laws in the wake of every school shooting.
“More laws are not going to stop a mass shooter,” he continued, noting that Colorado had around 30 gun laws on the books at the time of the Columbine shooting. “When they’re intent on murdering other individuals they don’t care about the law. The law doesn’t matter whether it’s a gun law or any other law. They will break them.”
“Gun control is not a solution… The solution is to physically stop them,” he explained. “[Mass shootings] are stopped when someone confronts the shooter and the vast majority of time that’s an armed person.” But it’s not just the safety of schools and children at stake. Human history has shown us what can happen when a government denies its citizens the right to bear arms. In fact, Mr. Todd believes the only thing stopping America from a potentially oppressive government is the Second Amendment.
