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?
And Trump ALWAYS brings up arming teachers and bullets flying back at the bad guy. I’ve watched Trump talk about offensive and deadly capability within in the schools at official meetings a dozen times in the last week. He’s pounding it in the heads of everyone at the meetings. How does that fit in to your bad Trump scenario?
Context matters!
