“Softening folks up for a round of gun control rhetoric.”
You nailed it. We need more guns in the hands of responsible citizens not less.
That's what happened in Canada when that nut case shot all those women at a Univercity in Montreal. The Lepine shooting.
The Liberal government later inplemented the gun registry.
That is the exact spin the media is doing now after that mall shooting I noticed. Ignoring the reason these nut cases and doing these shootings, and going after gun ownership.
The media in that Montreal case never did mention that the shooter was a Muzzie, raised by a very strict Muzzie father who despized women, beat his mother constantly and kept her covered.
The name "Lepine" wasn't even his birth name, although media never did print his Muslim name. I guess they figured using his "western" name, nobody would make the connection, and it worked.
