“That is the Dems blame the NRA narrative. “
No it isn’t. It’s the logical fallacy “too few alternatives” to say it is.
It is part of the picture that the democrats use. Their true logic works like this:
1) gun’s, all guns pose a threat (primarily to our desire to impose Soviet style control on the population);
2) shhh, we cant ever say that in public;
3) ok we will ask or “sensible” gun control and use the same incremental tactics to play the long game. The rube will never know what hit them, like with healthcare;
4) but the GOP opposes this (they are on to our true aim);
5) we need an Alinsky bogey man to target and isolate and demonize;
6) cue up some victims to use to blame the NRA not for the actual crimes but by extension;
7) getting the NRA also eliminates huge financial backing for our foes, bonus;
8) announce and put forward that but for the NRA there would be “sensible” (read ultimate seizure) gun control and no shootings. The NRA is therefore to blame because it scares the GOP from doing the right thing; and
9) let’s get a RINO GOP Congressperson or two to accept our premise. Is McCain available? What?!?! Trump will do it?! No flipping way!!! Who needs a phony CNN townhall?
