The senate will be taking up this gun control nonsense here soon so prepare to see images of dead children splattered across the TV screen at every opportunity. The nightly news will turn into the daily body count as every gun crime that has been ignored will now become headline news. Nobody cared about all the kids who are constantly shot in inner cities or anywhere else for that matter but when there is an agenda to be pushed look out. Goebbels would love what is about to happen.

I KNOW! All this dogmatic crap from the NRA perverting the 2nd amendment for their business and the Gun lobby's benefit is terrible. I'm not afraid of fascism: I'm afraid of the heavily armed yokel luddites plotting to overthrow the fed like a bunch of unwashed bolsheviks.

Is the onslaught of media propaganda a new phenomenon in this country?

Certainly not.

Yes, attempts by establishmentarian media outlets to sensationalize any act of gun violence that occurs on a college campus or in any other educational institution (i.e. yesterday's shootings in Missouri and Kentucky) is going to become more frequent, that's a given.

Regardless, the anti-gun fearmongering of the last 30 days (essentially nothing new, just exhilerated since December 14th of last year) must be consistently identified and exploited by opponents of the this opportunism for what it truly is: an attempt to convey and establish moral authority for a political faction that ideologically despises the notion that an American citizen would own a gun for any other reason than, perhaps, to shoot a deer for food (and even such innocuous activities as hunting and target-shooting should only be carried out with a federally registered rifle stored at a local, federally regulated "gun club," no doubt).

Why doesn't the anti-gun clique within the political left just demonstrate a simple act of honesty and articulate to Americans that an eventual blanket firearm ban on modern firearm ownership is precisely what they want?

Maybe people should see exactly what happens during a bloody, horrifying, brutal slaughter on innocent children barely out of their preschool years.

Sounds like your all for seeing that. Exactly what will the actions that will be proposed in congress do to stop that slaughter you are salivating over? Oh that's right NOTHING. So you enjoy the show because that is all it is.

Never let a crisis or tragedy go to waste, eh?

So true--only once we can associate modern firearm ownership laws with the images of bloodied, bullet-torn children can we finally think rationally about gun laws!

Psychological manipulation, anyone?

Then you're delusional.

Scared of a few yokels, but not worried about a multi trillion dollar war machine.

I'm sure someone like you will be happy to arrange another shooting as long as you can get your way. The end justifies the means, right?
