I've even heard they are misusing apostrophes in the possessive form. Hard to give ANYONE credence who does that.

They need a certain amount of 'terrorist attacks' to continually justify funds, and keep pubic sentiment high enough, in order to fight terrorism.

They need a steady flow of drugs coming in, to continually justify funding and keep public sentiment high enough, in order to fight the war on drugs.

its classic 'Wag the dog' tactics.

I brought up MK Ultra in another thread and I think its applicable here too, we know for a fact in the 1970s and 80s our very own Govt ran illegal experiments using people and even kids, one of the goals was to create mind controlled assassins to carry out Govts dirty work....and here we are in in the 2000s, seeing a bunch of 'lonewolf' gunman carrying out mass shootings...which is driving the gun control debate and swaying the opinions of MANY people when it comes to guns and who should have access to them...Gee, it doesnt take much to see a connection!

This is not surprising...I'd be interested to see recent guns sales (especially AR-15s)
So the NRA must love every mass shooting then. It means an upsurge of MONEY coming in. And more money to give Republicans.

Of course they do. No one is happier in the aftermaths than Wayne LaPierre. He sees $$$$ following every slaughter, and he uses them to whip his supporters into a frenzy of donations to the NRA and buying up even more guns to add to their stockpiles. Every mass shooting is a payday for him.

Nah, its not the mass shootings...it's the subsequent "ban firearms" and silly "marches to grab guns" that bring in the $$$.

Which only happen because of the never-ending mass shootings. Which you are perfectly fine to allow to continue as long as no one takes away your personal weapons of mass destruction.

It isn't the tragic deaths of students that drives donations to the NRA. The donations are driven by the subsequent hysterical, mendacious rhetoric from Leftists.

You have only yourselves to blame.
