There are two methods of manipulation, ‘persuasion’ that the left uses to get gun control and the media is able to optimize both tactics with mass shootings.The first ploy is to pounce on a tragedy before the bodies are cold.Rahm Emanuel gave voice to this technique when he instructed: “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
Translation: if you have a horrific massacre, get right in there while the emotions are raw, while the victims’ families and survivors are still reeling.If you play your cards right you’ll be able to use their grief, their fear to get gun laws you wouldn’t have otherwise been able to pass.So a mass shooting is an opportunity according to Rahm’s Rule.
The second way media exploits a mass casualty event is to effectively use terrorism.The number of casualties in a terror attack is not as important as where the attack takes place.
“The goal of terrorism generally is to destroy the public’s sense of security in the places most familiar to them.”
People are far more likely to turn on gun owners if the tragedy is in their own backyard, a Walmart, a concert, or a club.These are places most Americans go at one time or another so the message is no one’s safe.The media then binge-reports on the tragedy, paints it as a national crisis, a recurring event, an ever-present danger that demands new gun laws.Thus these domestic terror attacks are tailor-made to achieve gun control.

The biggest danger for the Media is that they “jump the gun” by reporting on one of the many False-Flag Mass shootings before they actually occur.
It is all about controlling the masses - and the masses are law abiding.
Criminals and terrorists are a tiny minority.
The number one tactic now is that of trolling with lies to destroy members’ trust in the one organization that has defended their Second Amendment rights more than any other.
