So who do we believe? Those who want to demoralize the America First agenda and dissuade someone they fear will win from running, or an “ex” Clinton insider with suspect motives (and a book to sell) who may know Trump is too toxic to win, and so wants to encourage him to try?
The gaslighting is only going to get stronger.
Gun Prohibitionist Abrams Spares No Expense on Own Security
People who must pay for their own security are private citizens, the ones to whom the Second Amendment was supposed to assure an uninfringed right to keep and bear arms. Most — including Abrams’ supporters — can’t afford to. That she would also deny them the means to protect themselves speaks of a swindled constituency with views manipulated by a subversive public education system, and a media politically hostile to guns in private hands.

Only two kinds of people would vote for this self-serving hypocrite: Ignorant and manipulated citizenship malpractitioners or evil apparatchiks who know exactly what they’re doing and why.

I am getting a kick out of “Comments,” particularly where animaladjusted leftists are melting down over this:
“Remove (a) licensed hunters of game … We don’t need to abuse and shoot wildlife but need to protect it … Hunters aren’t conservationists, they just use this as a sorry excuse for their bloody wildlife abuse and murder … Agree. It’s toxic masculinity at its best…”
You hear that, Fudds? They’re coming for you.

Staggering Around the Truth
“Every gun sold without a completed background check poses a potential risk,” said Rob Wilcox, federal legal director for the gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety. “And these staggering numbers show that we have a serious problem.” [More]
No, the serious problem would be if you could demonstrate the resultant carnage directly produced by this. The fact that you haven’t even cited one (I don’t count Sutherland Springs because time was not a factor, the Air Force withholding information that would have never shown up was), yet according to this there have been over a million “opportunities,” points to the whole purpose of this transparent propaganda piece being to gin up a hysterical demand for more controls on you and me and fewer restraints on government power.
And then they explain “the Charleston Loophole”:
The shooter had admitted to drug possession during a prior arrest, which made it illegal for him to buy or own a gun.
Anybody see Word One about Hunter Biden in all this fine “reporting”?
What else aren’t we told about? You’d think the National Institute of Justice’s 2013 “Summary of Select Firearm Violence Prevention Strategies” would at least rate a mention:
Universal background checks … Effectiveness depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration …

Alternatively, Stop Helping Information Controllers Create Manipulative Narratives
Stop Making Killers Famous [More]
Agreed. Make the @$$holes notorious instead by exposing their collectivist natures. After all, no monster who does this can possibly believe in due process and equal protection, which automatically makes them enemies of freedom advocates (even though the collectivists will throw out terms like “right-wing” to conflate them with traditional culturists.)
What I don’t agree with is withholding their identities for reasons highlighted here. Doing so makes us rely entirely on politically beholden “authorities” and their media allies for an “official” narrative, with social media tech giants erasing any online tracks that might lead to different endpoints. That results in the public being deceived by lies claiming outrageous crap like “Robert ‘Bobby’ Crimo III confirmed to be raging Trump supporter.” Engineered public ignorance is then exploited to gin up demands for gun bans.
So no, I don’t agree that names should be suppressed. Had that effort been more thorough, we would not be able to see for ourselves the following information I have been warned may be considered “law enforcement sensitive” (although I don’t see why):
I suggest if you’re interested in these that you save what you want before someone tries to disappear them.
More, not fewer people should be aware of these because it is our right to investigate claims for ourselves. After all, if the government wanting to keep things under wraps was a showstopper, Gunwalker would still be a state secret.
I submit that suppression is more dangerous than any desire of budding maniacs for fame, there is no credible data showing the behavior of anyone so twisted and evil would be channeled into more benign pursuits, and the most effective thing those wishing to deter mass killers could do would be to stop providing them with unlimited unarmed-by-law victim pools.
I do not know who is behind the photo/video site (it is registered through a proxy) and note that it also contains a text link I won’t post here that is extremely racist, offensive, and vile. The home page also links to an essay by someone who has developed a similar reputation for himself.
I share Mike Vanderboegh’s contention that racism– judging a person’s worth by anything other than their ideology and conduct as an individual — reveals anyone doing so to be a collectivist, that is, my enemy. That said, the information I have linked to appears to be authentic. That’s something those with the inclination and ability to verify things wouldn’t be able to do if we didn’t know where to start if we followed the advice we started this post with that no one with real reach is going to listen to anyway.
You know, the “real reporters” all parroting the narrative…
