The left wing media whores spin 24-hour wall-to-wall coverage of these shootings which severs to feed this violence. And their close allies in entertainment desensitize with continuous gratuitous violence, all for the pursuit of their own personal wealth.

There is far, far more blood on the hands of the MSM, and Hollywood, than the law abiding gun owners of America.
