So, are more high profile shootings planned?
If the perps are Muslims, will the event be characterized as terrorism or will that aspect be shoved under the carpet (again)?
“With the gun debate focused on state-level politics, high-profile shootings will exacerbate the division between these two Americas: in restrictive states, a demand for more laws; in permissive states, a demand for more guns.”
She seems to be admitting that the left has lost the debate. “High profile shootings” have always been the primary tool of the disarmists to pass more restrictive laws.
What she fails to consider is that national law can drive state law. We are very close to a national reciprocity law. Only an indifferent or pro-second amendment president is needed to obtain it. Once it is in place, the last few “may issue” states will fall.
I cannot see the citizens of New York seeing everyone else around the nation being allowed to protect themselves, but they will not be allowed to because their elites want to protect their organized crime buddies and the ultra rich.
If National reciprocity passes, no New Jersey mugger will be able to mug a stranger without wondering if they are from Pennsylvania, and might be armed.
