Talky pointy
We touched yesterday on the left’s out-of-the-gate seizing on the Roanoke shooting to kick off the latest gun control push. It’s what they do, and no one was surprised that they did it - tinged as always with warnings like “we can’t wait any longer,” which imply, I guess, that everyone knows the left’s gun control agenda would stop killings like this, and we’re all just dragging our feet because the approval of the NRA is more important than the lives of folks like Alison Parker and Adam Ward.
That’s the implication, and it’s hardly new. They dropped it after Charleston. They dropped it after Newtown. They always drop it. They never explain how the laws they want would stop a determined killer like Vester Flanagan - who cares nothing for his own life - from getting a gun legally or otherwise. But that’s not really the point. The point is to turn an act of evil to their advantage in the news cycle, and they’re as dependable as the sun rising in the east in their willingness to take the cue.
But now that Obama himself has waded into the game, pay attention to something else. As he jumps into the tired contrast between gun crimes and terrorism, listen to the tone in his voice as he references the latter. What do you hear?
I’m sad and slightly disturbed, but not in the least surprised, that people like Obama, Terry McAwful, and the race hustlers are Black Lives Matter couldn’t wait to run out and politicize these murders. It’s both shameful and shameless at the same time.
No, Obama again shows the importance of getting a Constitution-hating, America-hating Marxist out of our White House....and then cleaning it real well.
This guy is more dangerous to the country that I thought. And that’s saying a lot.
That's the whole point of having these shootings.
I wish I knew how to start a movement:
WHITE REPORTERS’ LIVES MATTER
Anyone so mentally ill that they cant figure out which sex to be attracted to shouldn’t be allowed to buy a gun.
“I’ve come to believe they need a certain level of violence in this country. They are willing to accept a certain level of killing to further their political agenda.” — Wayne LaPierre
Sadly, recent events show that LaPierre didn’t know how right he was.
Online, my FRiend, online.
And it nevers makes any sense because it's not the guns, it's the mental illness.
Wait.. when the diaper-heads kill someone we are told not to judge them all by the actions of a few
So why then should we ALL have to surrender our guns for a few nutjobs?
If they want to politicize it, I’ve been thinking of yesterday’s unhappy, treated unfairly, incompetent product of the grievance industry as wait for it ... a domestic terrorist.
Blaming the gun for this shooting is like blaming a fork for making someone fat.
0bama is Vester Flanagan and America is his victims.
Let’s deny guns by race. If your ethic group leads in gun violence, you do not get a gun.
Let’s deny guns by drug test. If you test positive for drugs, you don’t get a gun—ever!
Let’s deny guns by a brain activity scan. If you show excessive emotional responses to a stimulus test, you don’t get a gun.
Shall I go on?
Obama does not want us shooting his terrorist friends.
They let the cat out of the bag years ago. The goal is still to make guns illegal.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, came out in favor of a ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns.

“I wish I knew how to start a movement: WHITE REPORTERS’ LIVES MATTER’”
>>> I know. This happened to my hometown station and hit close to home. The son of a very, good friend of ours works as a cameraman at WDBJ7, and MY son’s roommate went through high school with the reporter who was killed. Sadly, instead of “white lives matter” it’s GUN CONTROL FOR ALL. Now...if a WHITE man had killed 2 black reports....ya...then “Black Lives Matter” would be international news instead of more gun control :<(
