Will banning assault trucks stop more violence?
 

Leftist media outlets reacted to the devastating attack in Nice not by blaming Islam or even terrorists, but by suggesting that an inanimate object €“ the truck €“ was responsible for the carnage.

Instead of pointing the finger at Islamists, CNN, CBC and the New York Times all published headlines that served to hide the true nature of the attack.

CBC reported, €œChildren feared killed in Nice as truck attacks family event€�. Presumably, the truck was somehow able to manifest artificial intelligence and plough itself through dozens of victims.

Not to be outdone, CNN reported €œTruck rams crowd; 84 dead in Nice,€�
again providing a convenient way of avoiding any mention of the
ideology that inspired the driver

The New York Times went with €œTruck attack on French crowd; Scores
die,€� again pinning the blame on the vehicle rather than the Islamist
inside it.

Given that the truck alone, and not the ideology that radicalized the
terrorist who used one as a weapon, is to blame for the massacre in
Nice, the solution to stop further violence is simple; Ban deadly
assault trucks.

The Left Wing Regressive will only get on board with you if
trucks can somehow be used in an insurrection. They don't
care about anything that kills folks as long as those things
can't be used to toss their asses out of power. They
are only after banning "insurrection weapons".

Had Reginald Denny dropped it into first and kept on trucking he would
have been a racist, right wing terrorist.
