In theory, it was a straight news article from the Associated Press: a man trying to rob a gun store in a Russian city opened fire, killing at least six people.

But AP managed to work a pro gun-control message into its article.

By Russian law, this convict who tried to rob a gun store was not permitted to own a firearm. Yet, he managed to acquire a handgun.

If the liberal media had one iota of brains they would watch any Hollywood good guy/bad guy movie and learn what everyone knows: Bad guys ALWAYS get guns.

Please excuse this far out opinion: Putin and Li have told Hussein that they cannot risk sending their peacekeeping troops to the US to protect him etc until Hussein disarms the citizens. This is holding up TPTB crashing the dollar, starting the communist inspired uprising in urban areas, implementing marshal law, begin arresting Hussein’s opponents, shutting banks to issue the Amero and chips and creating the New World Order. That is why so many Black Ops False Flags, Hussein’s impatience and Biden’s gun blather.
