Dana Bash’s Logical Incoherence on School Shootings
By Richard McDonough

Upon receiving the news of the horrific killing of six people, including three nine-year old children, by a deranged and troubled shooter in Nashville, the Democrats and their stenographers in what passes as our “news” media immediately began their cultish ritual: knee-jerk calls for stricter gun control. In a revealing exchange between CNN’s Dana Bash and Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Bash accused House Republicans of loving guns more than children. She asked:

Are you…telling the American people that mass shootings, including of young children, is just something that’s going to happen and you’re not going to make any moves, at this point to try to stop it?

The accusation, repeating the familiar liberal-media trope, is, of course, that Republicans do not care enough about the lives of our children to do anything that might weaken the Second Amendment.

In response, Crenshaw proposed a foolproof solution to end school shootings: station at least two armed guards in every school in the United States. Bash replied, sarcastically, with a generality: “So the answer is more guns?”

It is not clear why Bash thinks this question is legitimate. When one has a problem one often uses empiricism to resolve it — it is not a witticism contest.

Here’s an analogous hypothetical: if firefighters propose igniting backfires in an area between a housing complex and a massive forest fire, a cocky reporter with a Bachelor’s degree in Narcissism Studies and knows nothing about fire-fighting but has a flair for the appeal to emotion fallacies so popular within her profession, might sarcastically ask, “So the answer is more fire?” The answer would be… “Yes.” (Sometimes it is necessary to burn out an area in the path of the fire because this destroys the fuel for the fire in a controlled way to prevent a firestorm that would burn everything, including any animals and people unable to be removed.)

Similarly, when a doctor tells a patient he needs to vaccinate her with a live virus (cowpox) in order to prevent a virulent natural virus (smallpox) the patient might ask, incredulously, “So the answer to my virus infection is more virus?” However, the correct answer, by people outside of newsrooms who actually know something, might well say, “Yes, just as one can only fight fire with fire, sometimes one can only fight a virus with a virus.”

One could add numerous additional examples but the point should now be clear enough that even a liberal “journalist” can understand it.



Crenshaw responds to her question slightly differently though:

No, the answer is armed guards. The answer is armed guards, right? Yes, more guns – the kind of guns that protect the President, that protect you all at CNN.

Is it easy to get into your headquarters at CNN? Absolutely not. There’s armed guards there. There’s single points of entry. I think we should look at our schools as a place that is precious and have the same kind of security that your corporate offices do, that we do in Congress. You know if we consider a place to be important where our children go to learn every day, it should have the same level of security as every other place, whether it’s a shopping mall or a corporate office that’s hard to get into..........

Also makes "sense" to many of the FUDDS on here.

Ba da boom!

The Commie Socialist DemoRat’s and Libertards aren’t interested in a REAL solution to the problem.
They’re only interested in using each and every tragedy as another opportunity to disarm Freedom Loving Conservative American’s 😡

I do believe that it the point of the article...........

one more excerpt!


"Crenshaw proposed a specific concrete solution to stop school shootings that Bash cynically and casually dismissed by employing several logical fallacies because it doesn’t fit the liberal script of gun control. Unfortunately, this is par for the course in what remains of our “news” media. Most journalists are not trained to solve real-world problems. They don’t actually know much except what goes on in their privileged little newsroom bubbles. They are trained to grab eyeballs for themselves by making sensationalistic claims and accusing people, sometimes real heroes like Crenshaw, of heartlessness or malfeasance. It is no wonder that a majority of the American people believe that what passes for our “news” media is dividing the country with their constant politically partisan shenanigans."

Yep! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

As noted elsewhere, Gun control is not about guns. It is about control…

Even real sheep understand the importance of sheep dogs.

There are 27 schools in the city I live in. One of the largest has no less than 7-8 buildings, maybe more. Over 18,000 students. How many armed guards will it take to protect them?

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

One thing is for sure, more gun laws aren't "preventative" measures. After all, if laws prevented anything, why doesn't the law of "thou shall not commit murder" prevent anyone from committing murder.
The gun is just the tool to do it. Lots of choices for tools. Confiscate every AR known to man in the USA and it won't stop people from killin other people.

As many as needed. Who cares how many it takes.
And how about arming teachers after required training!

Every school in my old home town has a uniformed City Police Officer on Duty.

Do you realize you post alot like renegger50?

My question is.. who was first? You are him?

Who is trying to live vivaciously through another online peep?

Just askin… I hope curiosity doesn’t kill the Kay no hard feelings not trying to start crap. Just curious

Sorry… renegade50, my spell check was putting in renegger50 for some reason.

JakeBlues, Thats one of the best ways to explain how stupid the Dem's Gun Control truly is!!!

Pardon, but sometimes I am slow on the uptake......

By the mention of "renegger50, are you referring to "Renegade50"?

I've enjoyed the sobriquet, Geedubya, since 2001 on Accurate Reloading, Saubier.Com, TooCoolFishing,TexasHuntingForums and on 24Hr Campfire since 2008.

No offense to that gent, but I can't say that I am familiar with the "warp and woof" of his posts and retorts, nor would I know without checking the date of his original log-on to the 24hr fourm.

Typically I post in the General Big Game, Hunting Rifles, and Single Shot forums. At times I dabble in the "Ask the Gunwriters and Optics forums.

Lately, out of boredom I've been posting in the "Freak Show" more than in the past. Perhaps that is the cause of your confusion.

Many of my posts are from my own stream of consciousness. When posting efforts of others I always give attribution either setting that apart in "" and providing links. I find that much easier than trying to "recreate the wheel"

BTW,

I'm short, fat, bald and old, but even when young, I do not believe I've ever been described as "vivacious.

However, I have always striven to become a Professional Small Boy, and as such have always endeavored to live "vicariously"

ya!

That is entirely my fault on the confusion, lort no not you. Chilito is the member I am referring to in the above post.

Carry on, you sir are definitely an original type of gentlemen.
