Yesterday, for whatever reason, Michael Ian Black decided to pipe up and blame men for America’s so-called ‘gun problem.’ Because that lame argument was SUPER HELPFUL after a horrible tragedy where 17 innocent people lost their lives.
Let’s not blame the actual gunman.
No, let’s blame MEN (oh, and the NRA).
Until we fix men, we need to fix the gun problem.

Maybe Michael missed it, but there was a certain man who stood out in all of this horribleness, a real hero.
MEN like football coach and security guard Aaron Feis, who died protecting Stoneman HS students yesterday, don't need to be "fixed."
Fix yourself, Hollyweirdo. https://t.co/ebeZItsLz3— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) February 15, 2018
BAM.
Michelle is right if Michael feels like he’s broken maybe he should spend a little time FIXING himself.
He responded:
Michelle, neither you nor I know enough about Aaron Feis to know anything about his life, but we do know enough about the shooter to know that he was broken. We've seen so many men just like him, and there will be more. Thank you for your incredibly thoughtful response. https://t.co/8Lcg8Qr3a2

Let’s not talk about the guy who saved a bunch of people, no no, let’s focus on the killer because otherwise, Michael’s ignorant argument falls apart.

WOOT.
Just spoke to someone about this. Main question: WHO IS RAISING OUR MEN?! We are emasculating boys, allowing Eminem, Video Games, Hollywierd, and PC crap negatively influence boys – then we wonder why they become irresponsible, irrational, and out of control young adults.

Far too many people are wrapped up in ridiculous identity politics and are losing focus on what is important. Too many men are being told they shouldn’t be men, and that’s a huge problem.
Fair point though, Michael isn’t exactly a bastion of masculinity.
