***but I’ve never seen the sheer HATRED for law-abiding gun owners higher than it is right now. ***
You should have been around in 1968 when Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy was shot! It was worse!
I was only eight, but I was around. Shook hands with RFK a day before he was killed while at Disneyland. So yeah, I remember.
The hate from the Left is the same today as it was in ‘68.
The difference is, we are hearing, seeing and reading it, real-time and in our faces. The Left is following The Won (who after all, is a community organizer and he got his community organized), who told them to “get in their faces”.
Back then, there were only four TV networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS), magazines and the newspapers.
Today we have added hundreds of TV channels, talk radio, Internet, social media, and a 24/7 news cycle. The saturation level of the hate is more easily felt.
The Left has reached the threshold where they are totally confident they can say whatever, whenever and in any way without and consequences to themselves. They are free to vent their hate at long last. The mask is off, and they are free. No more need to hide.
