A news item that emerged a few days ago seemed to encapsulate the increasing helplessness that has gripped America as gun violence reaches new heights.

The author of this dribble has got it wrong in the first sentence.

Gun violence is not reaching new heights. In general, it's been declining for 20 years (dramatically) along with most other categories of crime. There has been a recent uptick in urban areas, but overall the crime rate and gun violence is way, way down.

What is way up is the media coverage of gun violence and ensuring copycat crime by giving the shooters exactly what they want - LOTS of media coverage.

There is a reason sports leagues and the media who cover them generally don't show streakers. They know it only encourages more.

Rosie O'Donuts,Shania Twain,Bob Costas and Carl Rowan (youngsters,you'll need to google him) are known to have conflicting attitudes on the Second Amendment and ten bucks says that the author of this editorial does as well.

My attitude on this general subject is...the more that politicians and other government officials *don't* want me to have firearms the *more* I want one.

They’re still trotting out that 74 school shootings lie. That has been debunked but don’t expect the left to correct themselves. There’s nothing like a good lie to keep the sheeple stirred up.

I note that according to this graph there was but one mass shooting in the 1950’s, that most wicked and oppressive decade in American history, according to the leftists.....
