Sounds like Asa is worth watching.
The Road to Recovery segment on ABC is well worth watching. Basically the whole panel understands what is going on....... except for Paul Krugman. He gets his butt whooped in this segment. Wonder how ABC allowed this one.
I did hear him claim this is a political agenda for the left (disarming the citizenry) but not quite that clearly.
What I didn't hear him say is that the worst gun violence happens in places with the strictest gun control (Chicago etc) who also happen to be at the bottom of the list for prosecutions of gun crimes. Talk about blatant pursuit of that agenda at the expense of the very citizens they are assumed to protect.
I also didn't hear him say (in reference to his comment regarding keeping guns away from criminals and mentally ill) is that any violent criminals who commit crimes with firearms should be taken out of society and locked up.
This is also true of mental patients who may go off their meds and become violent with any type of weapon, they should not be allowed to run around loose.
Gangbangers should be rounded up, interrogated, investigated, and incarcerated, until the murdering hoardes are eliminated.
Violent video games should require registration and cross checked just like criminal activity and mental illness. Maybe the schools should start concentrating again on "Thou shalt not commit murder".
Of course none of that is gonna happen anytime soon.
And most people will never know as the media will consult more Democrat Economist to continue this an immature ideological game instead of using common sense macroeconomics, 1. Allow the private sector resources for economic growth, and 2. Control cost.
