Gun homicides down dramatically, Americans unaware

It’s not jiving with reality.

Coverage of the navy yard shooter is fading.

Mass murderer was a Prius driving Obama fan and liberal. And they shouldn’t push that narrative. Because it’s stupid. However, if the found a F250 with a Palin sticker on the back and one guy who said he saw him at a Tea Party rally once, it’d be all the talking heads were talking about.

Dumb: What Obama really needs is an Oklahoma City moment

Heh.

Articles of faith, apparently.

The NYT is crapping its pretty little panties: The nation’s police chiefs are finding an alarming increase in criminals’ use of assault weapons — the high-powered battlefield rifles that used to be banned, back when the federal government showed greater concern for public safety. The 10-year ban expired in 2004, despite the vows of presidential […]

Remember how those rednecks supposedly killed a census worker and wrote ‘fed’ on him? Yeah, could have been a suicide.

Lou Dobbs says people shot at his house. I’m sure bloggers and news columnists will be out there blaming a political ideology for this one, right? Two shot in LA synagogue. Still on the loose. Little speculation on this one in the press. And the FBI killed the leader of a mosque in a raid. […]

Ok, we’ve gone from blaming guns, to NRA, to conservative radio, to 911 operators, to the economy. Now, ammo. If only ammunition was more expensive, people wouldn’t be committing these mass shootings: The man who gunned down 13 people at an upstate New York immigration center fired 98 shots from two handguns in a little […]

I’m not hungry. Good. My butt is dry. Better. I’m warm. Life is good. Cool, nothing to do but hang out and try to figure out why this starfish isn’t lighting up. Come on, light up . . . light up . . . light up or I’ll cry . . . li . . […]

Pictures that contradict the narrative. What I Saw At Lobby Day In Richmond The Best ‘White Supremacist’ Minority Protests Someone showed up with a guillotine.

The narrative is that “OMG Rand Paul is going up to Canuckistan to have a surgery and he has a hate boner for socialized medicine“. Not until you get to paragraph 8 do they tell you he’s paying cash.

CNN is pushing the narrative that US culture is responsible for the Crimean school shooting. Actual quote: As Russians struggle to come to terms with a horrific US-style school shooting in Crimea, which has left at least 20 people dead and dozens injured, Kremlin-controlled media are blaming the “corrupting influence” of the West for inspiring […]

22 injured, suspect killed in Trenton arts festival shooting This could not have happened since New Jersey has all the gun control. Heck, they recently just passed even more. Moms Demand Something or Another was there. This shooting doesn’t fit the narrative and will not be covered.

Schools are safer than they were in the 90s, and school shootings are not more common than they used to be, researchers say But that’s not the narrative.

But this never happens: Engle confronted Samson after he entered the church. Samson pistol-whipped Engle. After Samson shot himself, Engle went to his vehicle, got his own weapon and held Samson at gunpoint until police arrived, police said. Except when it does. The narrative in larger media outlets is different.

Do we lack the political will to do something about inner city violence? Probably. It doesn’t fit the narrative.

White supremacists shoot people at black lives matter event. But, you know, there’s this: By Tuesday afternoon, police said they had arrested a 32-year-old Hispanic man in South Minneapolis and a 23-year-old white man in nearby Bloomington. The suspects were not identified and no other details were released. My guess, based on recent events, is […]

From the blog: We are in the third year of our industrys national effort to ensure that the system has all the appropriate records put into it. We call the initiative FixNICS and we have been successful through our direct efforts to convince 16 state legislatures to pass legislation to ensure that there are no […]

Removing prohibitions in parks. And the narrative of the local press is that there is an onslaught of gun bills, so it’s gun week. But, you know, the year of guns was a few years back.

First it was that gun ownership was on the decline. But those darn record gun sales kind of ruined that. So, now, the narrative is that there are more guns but fewer people have them.

The paper of making up the record does an entire story on Scott Walker that can’t get his name right. Because the narrative is more important than factual reporting.

This embarrassing piece by the paper of making up the record contains one fantastic correction: An earlier version of this article misidentified, on second reference, the person who was shot in Ferguson, Mo. It was Michael Brown, not Darren Wilson. An earlier version of this article also referred incorrectly to the shooting of Trayvon Martin. […]

For the record, I’m holding off judgment. Basically, two weeks later and the narrative has gone to shit. But something worth watching. Anyhoo, some Ferguson stuff. NYT buries the lede. Sure, he was shot six times. In the front. ENDO was there “You’re not supposed to shoot so many times” And Wolf Dumbass: Why Can’t […]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. And isn’t fitting the narrative.

Nothing to see here but the side that fits the narrative.

Yup: When Crazed Shooters Can’t Be Linked To The Tea Party, Media Displays Admirable Restraint Goes against the narrative, you see.

And other thoughts on the movie massacre and political posturing. First, to quote Tam: I don’t care if every other gun owner on the planet went out and murdered somebody last night. I didn’t. So piss off. Before the bodies were cold and stacked away, everyone was playing pin the political label on the nut […]
