Tied by whom, Ben Dooley of The New York Times, the “D” part of the DSM? What was the purpose of writing this article?
I wonder if you compared all ammo sold by Lake City to the civilian market to the number of those rounds used in acts of violence what the abuse rate would be, and how many “0s” would follow the “.” to come up with a percentage…

Meanwhile, CNN/Aol repeats the Big Lie:
Firearms are now the No. 1 killer of children and teens in America, surpassing motor vehicles accidents, which had been the leading cause of death among youth until 2020.

Without a Trace
The Trace story quotes Byrna’s founder, president and chief executive officer, Bryan Ganz. However, on Friday, Ganz told the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project that he had never even heard of the Trace until the story appeared Thursday morning. The freelance writer who wrote the story claimed it would appear in a different publication. [More]

Dozens have gathered for two rush-hour demonstrations in the St. Louis metro Thursday afternoon, one in the City of St. Louis and another in St. Louis County… Many have brought flags or signs… [More]
I’m sure there’s a good reason the “real reporters didn’t see fit to mention they were Palestinian flags and the protestors aren’t Republicans…

Marching to a Different Toon
Chris Britt’s political cartoons are sometimes controversial, often outrageous and always thought-provoking. His take-no-prisoners style has been entertaining readers since 1991. A self-described liberal, Britt nevertheless delights in skewering deserving politicians of every persuasion. [More]
Can’t tell it by this. Or this.
Which side is funded by billionaires again…? The term “Astroturf” applies to the few elites who donate big, not to the legion of gun owners who donate small.
And elites control the DSM, which decides which cartoonists receive mass media promulgation.
I haven’t been this under-impressed by a mediocre, hate-filled intellectual lightweight cartoonist since Ted Rall.

If there’s one thing “Authorized Journalists” excel at, it’s attention to detail. Maybe this is another of those AI “hallucinations” we’ve been hearing about…
Funny, how many comment posters, including gun owners, believe “taking his guns away” and leaving him out would actually accomplish anything.
It’s All in the Presentation
Under current VA policy, if a veteran who defended this country has to go to the VA and ask for help managing his or her financial affairs the VA automatically reports that veteran to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System … and that veteran loses his firearm … automatically, no due process, no questions asked. This ion has not been made by a judge, it’s being made by a bureaucrat. All our Amendment would do would be … to say the VA, just because you’ve asked for help with your money, cannot automatically take away your firearm or report you to NICS unless a judge has ruled that that veteran is a danger to to himself or to others. [Watch]
Now look at how ABC News/MSN couch it, knowing full well most will not do more than scan the headlines and the first few words:
Senate approved amendment that would limit gun background checks for veterans
Then immediately tie that in with the Maine shooter being a veteran…
