More often than not the media pushes the anti gunner agenda without even having the facts of what weapons were used, or even how many people were injured or killed. Instead they use what very little factual information and play to the feelings of the people, the cover on the newspaper below is a prime example of this. Thanks to MrColionNoir for posting it up earlier today.
They use phrases like "Same Gun Different Slay" and "Maniac used 'Newtown' weapon" because these are key words that will play off the emotions of the general public who tend to believe everything they read.
However when facts are released the media and gun grabbing legislators are slow (if ever) to apologize for misleading the sheeple, I mean people.
For example this news flash has been making its way around Facebook and other social media sites.
Here we are presented with the facts that this "maniac" did not use an AR-15, he in fact snuck a shotgun (Thanks Shotgun Joe for the suggestion) that was in pieces and assembled it after gaining access to the base. He also used the handguns that he obtained from the security officers he shot.
This is not an issue of the gun being evil, it is again an issue of mental health. This man had sought help from the VA for mental health issues, and like many other veterans fell between the cracks and red tape that is plaguing the VA.
In no way should this man have had a firearm in D.C. in the first place since it is a gun free zone, and bases are also gun free zones. Which apparently did not matter to him, he was bent on killing.
This tragedy will be the front for the newest push on gun control, and they will have new evidence that we the people shouldn't own firearms because it will make a safer society. It's not a gun problem, it is a problem with evil, mental health, and criminals being criminal.
Get ready to push the flood of gun control back again, let your legislators know where you stand. Let them know that we need to look at the key issues and problems instead of constantly blaming the gun.
If anyone in the shipyard had been legally allowed to carry I'm pretty sure he would not have gotten so far or killed so many, if any.
