The Narrative
It’s out in force, after the Tucson shooting. Sheriff and press blaming AZ’s gun laws. Blaming metal, like it’s 1980 again.
Media BS about guns.
Blaming the gun culture. Even though pot-smoking commies aren’t usually associated with the gun culture.
SPLC says if you look hard enough, obviously a tea partier.
Anti-gunners seem to be celebrating.
Despite bleating, support for gun control is down. And no indication that the Obama admin will change their policy on guns.
Some are pointing out the narrative doesn’t fit. But they’re gonna shoehorn it in anyway.

Peter King thinks we need a law banning guns within 1000 feet of government officials.
Nothing says “We have to do SOMETHING!” like an unconstitutional law; all they have to do is cut and paste from the Gun Free School Zone act and they can knock off early!

Call me old fashioned, but I blame dungeons and dragons!

I read in the comments of my local cat box liner’s web site that the recent increases in crime were caused by Netflix and lower my bills pop-up ads.
And to Mr. King’s proposition, is he going to make all government officials carry a flag stick from the local country club in their back pocket so we can tell where they are? Then we’ll all have to carry golf rangefinders to make sure we stay beyond what he thinks is minimum safe distance. Hmm… We should check his list of campaign donors for any connections to golf rangefinder manufacturers!

The question now is, what did Sheriff Clarence Dupnik know and when did he know it?
I’ve now heard they are trying a FOI for any information as to Loughner’s contacts with the Sheriffs office. But so far the Sheriff is stonewalling.
Methinks the Sheriff doth protestith to much… like maybe he is hiding something.

Seems like every time there is a high profile shooting, the anti-gunners act like someone is feeding them Viagra.

Sheriff Dupnick & his department are to blame. They have had several incidents of death threats from the shooter against several other people in the recent past.Did nothing. CYA ain’t gonna work this time, maybe.

Leftist pothead protégé of Democrat sheriff shoots pro-gun rights Congresswoman and murders Republican judge. Sheriff blames Rush Limbaugh.

The Sherrif has a duty to protect the people. In this case, he is the one doing them harm by trying to strip them of their rights.
Shame on him and his ilk.
