Jacksonville County Sheriff T.K. Waters:
“The story is always about guns. People are bad. This guy’s a bad guy… The problem is the individual.”

Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters slammed the political Left’s anti-gun narrative over the weekend in response to a racially motivated shooting that killed three people at a Dollar General store that has been deemed as racially motivated.
The assailant, a white male in his early 20s, left behind manifestos that made it clear that he was specifically targeting black people.
“The story is always about guns — people are bad — this guy’s a bad guy,” Waters said. “If I could take my gun off right now, and I lay it on this counter, nothing will happen. It’ll sit there — but as soon as wicked person grabs ahold of that handgun and starts shooting people with it — there’s the problem.”
“The problem is the individual,” he added. “Now guns are a tool that people use to do horrible things. But it’s the individuals that wield these things. So we are working hard to try to stop that. But in this situation, in this case, there was nothing saying—, there was nothing illegal about him owning the firearms.”

Finally, a law enforcement professional speaking truth. If the same tact was used on cars. Everyone would be walking.
Truth pure and simple !!!! Every cop and politician should learn from this man. Surely the Marxist liberal filth will be “outraged” by what he said.
