I no longer read or watch any in-depth reports of mass shootings anymore.
As a result I keep my posts on this topic to a minimum.
Why?
Because the Narrative resulting from the recent, back-to-back mass shootings in El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH have followed same predictable and tiresome trajectory:
1. Blame Our Grand Nagus for "not doing enough."
2. Demand "commons sense" gun control measures, which is Newspeak for eliminating the ability for law abiding citizens to purchase firearms for their personal protection against criminals--and tyrants..
3. Label anyone who disagrees with gun control as mass murderers who haven't gotten around to killing anyone yet.
Since Leftists "won't let a crisis go to waste" to further their political-social agenda, I'm not given any time to mourn and grieve over the tragic loss of life.
Nor do leftists want to address any of the other factors which led to mass shootings: Mental health issues, drug use, absent fathers, nor the failure of current gun control measures to reduce these tragedies.
Nope.
It's: "Get guns off the streets."
So I tune out their noise and conduct a minimal amount of fact-checking, even from sources I like and trust.
And if we give in to the demands of leftist demands, will they like us, or at least leave us alone?
Nope.
They will hate you even if you disarm.
