HOW ODD THAT MASSACRES MOSTLY HAPPEN IN "GUN-FREE ZONES"! When will the brain-dead Left wake up and draw the obvious conclusion? Gun bans kill kids

David Codrea:Attkisson’s ‘Astroturfers’ column highlights anti-gunner deception
fronts, investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson notes in the "Top 10 Astroturfers," a special report published Tuesday on her website. “These groups include Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, Everytown,
Everytown for Gun Safety, Gun Sense, It’s Time for Gun Sense in
America, Gun Sense Voter, I’m a Gun Sense Voter, Moms Take the Hill and
Stroller Jam.”
Attkisson is the award-winning former CBS News reporter whose interview with ATF whistleblower John Dodson put a face on the government’s Operation Fast and Furious “gunwalking” scheme. That's one of the stories explored in detail in her New York Times bestseller “Stonewalled: My Fight For the Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation and Harassment in Obama’s Washington.” Since leaving CBS, she has focused on subjects establishment media outlets are many times unwilling to acknowledge, let alone cover in depth, and has soldiered on independently, providing “fearless reporting” on what she understandably terms “untouchable subjects.” The “Astroturf” phenomenon may not surprise activist gun owners weary of media-amplified attacks on the right to keep and bear arms, particularly of late in responding to state ballot initiatives bankrolled by the Bloomberg Everytown machine. But Attkisson has a wider appeal that reaches a larger cross-section of Americans, to help alert them to the agenda-serving manipulation they’re being subjected to.
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” -- Thomas Jefferson
Syndicated columnist Charley Reese (1937-2013): "Gun control by definition affects only honest people. When a politician tells you he wants to forbid you from owning a firearm or force you to get a license, he is telling you he doesn’t trust you. That’s an insult. ... Gun control is not about guns or crime. It is about an elite that fears and despises the common people."
The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles -- Jeff Cooper (1920-2006)
Note for non-American readers: Crime reports from America which describe an offender just as a "teen" or "teenager" almost invariably mean a BLACK teenager.
We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
Two lines below of a famous hymn that would be incomprehensible to Leftists today ("honor"? "right"? "freedom?" Freedom to agree with them is the only freedom they believe in)
First to fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our honor clean
It is of course the hymn of the USMC -- still today the relentless warriors that they always were.
The intellectual Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) said: "The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."
How much do you know about Trayvon Martin? It's all here (Backups here and here)
“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” -- Robert A. Heinlein
After all the serious stuff here, maybe we need a funny picture of a cantankerous cat
