Notes from the Resistance
Egads, there are guns, too! “Everyone is walking around with guns there,” one former Floridian told NBC. “I consider myself a conservative guy, but if you want to carry a gun you should be licensed, there should be some sort of process.” [More]
What kind of extremist must anyone who disagrees with him be? (Disregard that I checked out his Facebook and the guy’s basically an Israel First copsucker from New York.)
NBC News is suddenly obsessed with Florida…?

Recent operations by the FBI and prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice has led to federal convictions for Florida residents accused of buying high-powered guns to arm the gangs in Haiti… “These international gangs and these criminal organizations have very sophisticated means and networks to be able to facilitate smuggling, whether it’s through shipments, out of the ports, airlines, different things like that…” [More]
I notice how it is “international gangs” are in this country in the first place is left unexplored.
Better to let NBC News of rigged flaming truck notoriety blame DeSantis…

As the NRA struggles, the gun lobby has a new leader in D.C. [More]
Not to be confused with the RIGHTS lobby…
Which is what NBC News is trying to do.

YouTube is the most-used social media app in the U.S. and has a large gun culture featuring people sometimes known as “gunfluencers”: social media stars and would-be stars who promote firearms and gun accessories, often in partnership with gun manufacturers. [More]
Once more, NBC News tries to blow something up.

Good thing for her they’re highly trained law enforcement!
Now maybe the NBC News “real reporter” can explain what a “legally registered gun” in Texas is…

A slight decline over such a short interval hardly signifies a trend, especially if those claiming happy days are here again can’t provide numbers to explain their suppositions.

Say, you don’t suppose NBC News is just trying to quiet jitters and shore up pre-election Democrat numbers, do you…?

Disinformation Reporter Ben Collins Failed To Correct the Gaza Hospital Story – Perhaps the Walter Cronkite Awards ought to have slightly higher standards? [More]
What, the “disinformation reporter” who called a Second Amendment rally a “white nationalist rally”…? And he’s the arbiter of “extremism”…?
I thought he’d promised to quit “journalism”…? (At least he got the “no skills” part right.)
As for being “depressed” over “death threats,” how were they delivered, were they reported to the authorities and what did their investigations conclude? Or more likely were they just “wishes,” something those of us who aren’t contemptible weaklings have directed not just against us, but against our children, and don’t let the losers slow us down…?
What can I say but “NBC News”? Don’t these people have a truck to blow up or something?
And I would say a Walter Cronkite Award is more than appropriate.
There’s a reason I call these people the DSM…

Time to go full Russell Brand on the guy, right?
Either that or this full-scale smear campaign is being waged because his X platform is doing a substantive end run around the authorized narrative and that’s got to be shut down.
Here’s one example from the above-linked NBC News piece, utilizing a familiar tactic and guilt by association:
The site is run by the far-right blogger Darren Beattie, a former Trump White House speechwriter who was fired in 2018 for having spoken on a panel alongside white nationalists. After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, Beattie promoted the baseless claim that the FBI had planted agents in the crowd who incited it to storm the building.
“Baseless” …?
Firearms killed a record number of children in 2021, study finds [More]
All by their own selves… and “children”…
See, start out with two big lies and your low-information mind control volunteers will be primed to absorb the rest without question.
It’s almost like NBC News has a thing for fraud…
I guess when they’re losing influence, they need to become more and more hysterical to get the attention they need to survive.

Julio wrote about this NBC News piece which didn’t even identify Hale as transgender. To make things more interesting, they said Hale was “gunned down” by police when confronted. [More]
Just be grateful they didn’t end the report with a rigged IED.

“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 …
No? What else would we expect from NBC News?
[Via Jess]
Even though everyone subjected to this piece was fed a decades-old and deliberate VPC deception, rather than notify them of a retraction and correction, NBC News just sneaks in and changes things, hopes nobody will notice and pretends it never happened.
