When the Newtown spree killer mowed down 20 children six and seven year olds and six adults, the call for federal gun control reached a fever pitch. It was thwarted in the final furlong by lovers of firearms freedom, galvanized into action by the legislative threat to firearms freedom. This time, after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School slaughter we have a Republican-controlled House and Senate and a Republican in the White House. And yet we’re seeing momentum for expanding [unconstitutional] background checks, raising the minimum age for a long gun purchase and Presidential support for due-process-denying “gun violence restraining orders.”
At the same, firearms freedom restoration — in the form of The Hearing Protection Act and The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act — are stuck in development hell.
What’s going on? What’s so different about this mass shooting aftermath as compared to the others that triggered former Second Amendment champions to Rubio to the forces of civilian disarmament?
Is it a cumulative effect: Vegas, Sutherland Springs, Parkland? Is it the mainstream media’s love fest with the ignorant teenagers demanding that the government curtail or eliminate their civil right to keep and bear arms? The fact that Donald Trump is our president?
You’d think the fact that the failure of multiple government agencies (including school authorities) to intercept the killer multiple times would make this spree killing less a focal point for gun control. But it sure doesn’t seem that way.
Are we losing ground here? If so, why now?
The media is on a full court press, unlike anything that we have ever seen on this issue. They decided as soon as this happened, that THIS was going to be the time to pull out all the stops. They decided that they were going to push gun control in every story, 24/7, on every news outlet, in every newspaper, on every network. The AssPress and CNN have marketing agreements with virtually every news outlet in the country. That means, it doesn’t matter if your local TV station or Newspaper might be in a Conservative area, or even have Conservative view points, The AssPress is going to push their stories to the news station/newspaper website.
Many other organizations have similar agreements with CNN.
Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo and Google are coordinating with the Press and manipulating search terms, “trending” stories and news so that you see exactly what they want you to see.
The media doesn’t care about facts, they don’t care about the truth, and they think they can pull the same trick that they did on the redefinition of marriage to accomplish their agenda here.
Remember, in 2004, Protection of Marriage Amendments won across the country. In 2008, KALIFORNIA voted for a Protection of Marriage Amendment.
The media decided that after the Kalifornia loss, they were going to shift public opinion. They then went on a full court press, and they pumped story after story after story into the marketplace to ensure that only one side of the debate was heard.
It wasn’t long after that that Marriage Amendments started losing and the redefinition of marriage started in the more liberal States.
Now, we are at a place where people are getting fined and their businesses shut down because they don’t toe the line.
Until we get a true alternative to the AssPress and the other Mainstream outlets, the left is going to continue to have far more influence over culture than their numbers would allow otherwise.
They have corporations, the entire media industry, Hollywood, TV, and most of the internet on their side.
Conservatives don’t like to get into the trenches and fight for all they are worth and we continually react, react, react while the left is pushing, pushing, pushing.
I wish I had an answer to what we can do. Short of separation, I don’t think there is a great answer.
This is “different” in that the Left is so rabid and tireless that when they discovered they could use/abuse teenagers to carry their water for them it seems to resonate - it also lets them cry about how the same victims/tools they are abusing are being “attacked” by those who disagree for them. They are holding kids hostage to their agenda and will destroy a few of their lives without ever saving a single future victim...the muzzies strap bombs to kids - the left straps kids to the bombs of the LSM and others....
Social Media.
The left also has a narrative ready for these situations and they also use bots and services like Thunderclap to magnify the talking points.

They sure had people in place to magnify their message.
Has anyone explained yet how Cruz gained entry into the building with his weapon?
You missed one (the most important one):
175K New RAT voters from Puerto Rico
fbnewscycle.com? is this a fake story? Could someone post the main picture as I don't know how.
This is different because Trump is President, and because they are being funded by Soros in a desperate (but successful) effort to cover up the incompetence of Coward County and their Sheriff, and/or the manufactured operation.
At 9:30 AM Hogg was in the closet hiding from the shooter talking with the girls. The shooting started at 2:30 PM the same day.

Affluent, white, liberal neighborhood, primarily.
Trump.
Repubs control House and Senate.
Great answer! Since this one proves that govt from the FBI to local sheriffs dept to the armed school guard are absolutely incompetent, they have to deflect blame to....law abiding gun owners.
Race has zero to do with this...numbers did. Like a plane crash when a lot of people die they question the safety of flight. Never mind the fact that a car is far less safe more will want to drive a car and yet act in horror that 150 people died and demand an explanation but we hear crickets at the 33-35 K that die a year in cars.
One thing I’ve noticed is how fast everyone got “on script” as far as banning guns. Almost like it was pre rehearsed.
Why? Or how?
The “how” is that the Broward Sheriffs knew it was coming and did nothing to stop it.
The “why” remains unanswered.
Coincidence with The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act effort?
Coincidence that the Supreme Court was going to rule against the Union money machine when Scalia died?
Holy chit! Interesting. Is there a chance the system he was uploading to was in a different time zone?
Has anyone explained yet how Cruz gained entry into the building with his weapon?

That’s just one good question in a long list of unanswered questions.
- What were guys dressed in swat garb outside one of the school doors doing when one of the guys carries out a bag and puts it in the back of a SUV?
- Where are the cctv recordings? Has Cruz been positively identified as the shooter and the only one?
- Where is the girl who said she ran into Cruz and had a brief conversation with him nonchalantly on the sidewalk outside the school? Some reports say she indicated there was gunfire going on inside at the time she ran into Cruz.
- Are we to believe that after Cruz shot up the place, he nonchalantly walked out of the school down the street to McDonalds for a big mac?
- Are we to believe he nonchalantly came back in the area after his Mac attack so he could get arrested?
It would really be different if it had happened in a private or a religious school.
He verbally said the time and time stamped. I thought it might have been a voice over or something. Go look at another video it's not.
I also think that is the biggest reason.
#2 is trying to cover up the massive bureaucratic (read government-liberal) failures.
