Investor's Business Daily ^ | 6/20/2016 | Staff

Security: As night follows day, the mainstream press has been full of stories about how the Orlando shooting marks a turning point in the long battle for strict gun control laws. It doesn't, and it shouldn't.

OK, not as bad as I imagined. Thanks for the update.

Did Hillary really tweet “ENOUGH!!!”? I can’t find it.

If she did, what she really meant was, “We are not amused! Off with their heads!”

Henry makow just posted an article about how this is yet another crisis drill put over as spontaneous and real. I haven’t researched this but he said there are no cellphone images or videos from the 300 hip 20-something’s in the night club. If that’s true, what more proof is needed that this is another hoax perpetrated in a transparent attempt to crush the 2nd.

Gun control for citizens is the dream of every leftist blackrobe, every progressive politician, every demrat ever spawned from the loins of Satan, every celebrity in homowood with few exceptions, every DC lawyer, and every tyrant since the recording of time began. Now, is every form of gun control bad? No. Let us remove all guns from the aforementioned groups, and see how they like it.

What was the vote. Did the GOP support this tyranny, or just our enemies?

I’d swear I saw a purported video shown on the news within the first couple of days. Granted, about all there was to indicate “shooting” was some pop-pop-popping on the audio....

For the most part it appears that Republicans did not support these measures. It’s still Kabuki, in my opinion. Full of sound and fury, and signifying nothing.

Just keep this in mind: if there is no national gun registry (as in Australia & UK), then there is no confiscation, no ban.

Creating one requires legislation and most Democrats other than the fanatics will never vote for it.

In other words, eat it, DiFi!

Let ‘em think that. The only thing gun control drives achieve is losing elections for Democrats.

Well, the old media always makes sure no matter how republicans vote, they are still as bad as the demrats. They use the few to tar the entire lot they same as they use the few to tar the entire lot of gun owners. It is a mystery to me how some freepers fall for one instance and not the other??

While I’m no fan of social media & avoid it other than this site, it’s a social force & source of information, so much so that the old media wishes it had never come to be.

Walter Cronkite is dead and so is the news monopoly of NBC/ABC/CBS. Truth will out. They can put horns on Republicans from here to Christmas but I am confident the real story eventually gets told, and the tellers of fairy tales wind up looking like real idiots.

Absolutely, the old media monopoly has been busted thanks to FR, Rush Limbaugh, even Foxnews, and the like. I’ve been saying it for years; the Rats detest anything that falls outside the gospel of the NYtimes, WaPo and the alphabet networks.

This is no turning point, but if you listen to the media they hyperventilate how it should be and in weeks the AR-15 will be outlawed.

Then they turn to 5-10 stories on Trump, every single one negative.

I have never seen such bias - it’s overwhelming.

Trump sure is up against the propaganda machine and the GOPe and the Dems.

“...they hyperventilate how it should be and in weeks the AR-15 will be outlawed.”

Pray tell us, almighty media, just how that will be brought about. Legislation, logistics, enforcement, the whole enchilada, give us some details.

Which is worse? A homo who walks into a bar and guns down fifty people or a homo who quietly kills many more over a period of several years.
