We will be seeing
A good deal more press about shootings and “Gun nuts gone wild” and “Gun nuts who have a beef with the government” which is all part and parcel of the media message.
Meanwhile, back in Chicago, and St Louis, and Compton, and Detroit, people keep getting murdered every day, and there is NO PRESS ON IT because they are brown. Could it be that the press doesn’t care about brown people? That can’t possibly be the case, can it?
There was a time when it took a good deal of extra effort to be a black man doing anything. You had to be better than anyone else in almost every way. This gave us people like Ben Carson, and Carl Brashier (Both portrayed in their biopics by Cuba Gooding Junior, by the way, and both excellent movies).
The tables have turned. Now Gunnies are the new opressed class, and each time one does something stupid, we all are painted with the same bloodstained brush.
This will not get better. As the government pressure on gunnies increases, there will be more and more of this, and it will be used as more incentive to disarm us. We must all be on our best behavior with our guns and with our mouths. yes, we know statistically we’re the safest people on earth, yes we know statistically that a swimming pool is thousands of times more dangerous than the average gunnie, but the media doesn’t care about us anymore than it cares about all those brown people that die everyday, because it does not fit their narrative. Be the best you can be, in every possible way. And be that every day. Teach people by your example what they will never learn from the Media.

Said the same thing, in other words, just the other day, Og, but the message bears repeating and repeating.
Amen, Brother.
I see a danger if your theory of gunnies being the new oppressed class verifies.
In every large identifiable population, there are weak members. With the MSM waiting to rip into every one that does fail, there will be the occasional one who fails spectacularly. It won’t take many of those spectacular failures to keep the anti-2A sentiment going and reinforce it.
For example, we should be hammering on Gabby Giffords right now, but Hell won’t have the fury, etc.
The only way I see any hope here is to hurt the MSM as bad or worse than they hurt us. There aren’t many ways we can do that. The only glimmer of hope I see would be something TEA-partyish, and that has to be done right, just right.
Sen. Menendez is a big anti-2A guy, and he just got caught with his pants down. How come I’ve heard nothing from the NRA making the connection between his venality and his trampling of the 2A?
One of our big problems is that we can’t react worth beans with any speed.
I expect that you’re dead on, Dog.
The media isn’t ignoring the truth about Chicago and other cities because the people dying are brown. They’re ignoring the truth because it doesn’t fit their ideology. They will be just as happy to ignore the deaths of white people when their agenda and ideology requires it.
