No gun control.

The Democrats want to kill us because we are not Democrats.

I love it when I find out that my enemies are stupid. Makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside.

Beta O'Drunk is gonna be one surprised Mick if he thinks he's sending stormtroopers door-to-door to confiscate anything. Pissants like him live in that little 'I have a pen and a phone' bubble the Halfrican created for himself. No more.

it is nice to know the obvious is true. At least it is out of the open. Now gun owners, such as myself, can focus on the Democratic party “hidden” agenda.

”If it bleeds, it leads.” All journalists know full well that they are systematically on the lookout for bad news and negativity about society. Death: Reality vs. Reported illustrates the point very nicely. In 2016 the three biggest causes of death in America were Heart Disease (30.2%), Cancer (29.5%), and “Road, Falls, and Accidents (7.6%). Deaths in those categories do not reflect particularly poorly on society.

But the three leading cause of stories about death - by prominence in The New York Times and The Guardian - were Terrorism (>33%), Homicide (>22%), and Suicide (>10.6%). Even though they represent less than 3% (<0.01%, 0.9%, and 1.8%, respectively) of actual deaths in 2016, Deaths in those categories get almost 2/3 of the coverage.

The reason is that those deaths do reflect the society in which they occur. And, not coincidentally, they suggest the need for government action. The perspective of journalism is that society’s failings are important - and that journalists are the ones to identify those failings - and to guide the necessary government correctives.

A century ago, “liberalism” was the word for the perspective now called “conservative.” Since those who had motive and opportunity (that would be journalists, for those of you keeping score) essentially inverted the meaning of the word (in the 1920s), “liberal” has, de facto but, implausibly, denyedly, meant nothing other than “in accord with the perspective of journalism.” Political “liberals” simply go along and get along with journalism’s egoistic self-regard.

And that is precisely what Beto is doing with his anti-society “anti-gun” rhetoric. Neither more nor less.
