NEW YORK TIMES ^ | 28 APRIL 2017 | MATT STEVENS

As President Trump took the stage to champion the Second Amendment at a National Rifle Association convention on Friday, a United States senator sought to counter his message by unleashing a Twitter storm using the names, ages and pictures of gun violence victims.

Senator Christopher S. Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, who has fought for increased gun control since the 2012 school massacre in his home state, posted on Twitter on Friday morning to urge his followers not to watch Mr. Trump’s speech and instead, “think about who we are fighting for.”

Sounds like Sen. Murphy is fighting for the grabbers, those the 2nd Amendment was designed as a guard against.

Don’t believe those Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

What good does it do to post this b/s from a known lying Leftist outlet other than demoralize the readers? If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a relatively reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization.

The Lying Left wouldn’t recognize the truth if it ran them over like a freight train. And if they report a fact with a Lying Leftist evaluation, tone, and conclusion then it is still a deception.

And how many of those shootings were committed by law-abiding citizens who were legally in possession of said firearms, and who obtained them legally?

Hmmm.... And which gun law would prevent outlaws who don’t care about the law, from obtaining and using a firearm?

And in the meantime, the same-said laws would cause millions of law abiding citizens to go unprotected, disarmed by the law.

Murphy and other gun-control proponents will NEVER talk about the carnage in the inner-cities, nor the lack of prosecutions of illegal gun owners.

How about trays full of identifiable baby parts????

And do the shooting victims have location labels, like Chicago???

Why can’t this senator and the rest of the Looney Left show this much enthusiasm about keeping murderous Muzzies out of this country?

Did he show photos of the “alleged” Sandy Hook victims ... no, I didn’t think so because there were none.

Because he’s afraid he’s going to be shot by law abiding American citizens one day.

Maybe someone should point out that no gun laws would have stopped the massacre of all these innocent children...

I know... Facts are hard to contemplate....

Don’t go there, there are Freepers who live in the area and know what happened...

...and of course the authorities aren’t going to release photos of gunned down murdered child...
