Yeah, trust the government and narrative parroting media– what could be withheld?

I was busy writing up my take on the MSU shootings and just submitted the draft to AmmoLand.
The police chief in the California city where 20 people were shot — 11 fatally — at a ballroom dance hall defended his decision not to warn the public for hours that a killer was on the loose, saying Wednesday he didn’t have enough information to effectively alert residents. [More]

“Systemic failures”… is that what they’re calling cowardice these days?

Now that the narrative has been shot they need to figure out the best way to deal with reality.

“Pistol”? Not “AR-15-style rifle”?
No matter. They want them all.
And naturally, “The employee has not been identified as police say they have yet to contact his next of kin.”
It’s not like he’s the victim here, and how many hours has it been? My immediate question is what kind of internet trail did he leave, and is it being brushed over as we speak?
We still don’t know much about the Colorado Springs moron, either, except they couldn’t get him on a bomb threat rap, some desperately want to establish a MAGA connection, and the information gatekeepers evidently don’t want anything that might conflict with that insinuation coming to the fore.

Not that these head-in-the-sand eggheads have any “answers” besides disarming you and me without due full process.
The reason I decided to give this one a link is not for the article itself, but for some of the comments, just to show the mentality this appeals to. The fanatic in point goes by “AE,” who at least put the lie to the “No one wants to take your guns” excuse:
If it weren’t for the legal gun owners in this country there wouldn’t be a gun violence problem…
Here’s what happens if you disagree:
I’ll go slow. If it weren’t for all the fearful and compensating man boys fighting for unrestricted purchase and use of firearms, there wouldn’t be any firearms in today’s society. Thus, no illegal gun problem…
There is absolutely no point in “debating” with such as these, or in establishing “common ground” dialog, as some ostensibly on “our side” are doing.

What we know about the suspect in the Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub shooting [More]
We don’t know if he’s one of those haters they’re presuming he is and then extrapolating that to apply to the rest of us. The photo suggests otherwise, at least in terms of being one of those “white supremacists” we’re told are the greatest threat. Where are the photos of him? Did he or did he not use social media, and if so, got links, or are we once again seeing those being taken down?
By the same token, we also don’t know if he’s just another self-loather.
We DO know that, aside from a renewed “ban assault weapons” blood dance and the not wholly unexpected revelation that he’s been on police and prosecutor radar before for bizarrely violent behavior, the left is also exploiting this to make people afraid to criticize real “all ages” red flags being waved with the potential to provoke low-hanging fruit.
Everybody and their brother in the “gun rights” world are going to be writing about this so I’m going to hold back and wait for more about the @$$hole to become known. At that point, I’ll decide if I have something to say that I don’t see anyone else bringing up.
At this point, I’ll use this post throughout the day as an aggregator if something comes across the transom that’s relevant and new.
