CNN is going to do what CNN is going to do

"My favorite is when they put up all the mass shootings on one screen with the number of people killed next to each one. Do they not realize they are putting up a scoreboard and encouraging the next psycho to say "Only X people killed? I can do better""

And they think guns are the problem.

What's really scary is when they step up to larger scale weapons to win this competition. Timothy McVeigh has them all beat, and he didn't need a gun.

Back in the good old days when they'd broadcast how many people had been killed in automobile accidents on a holiday weekend, George Carlin did a bit where he said, "The National Safety council has predicted 500 highway fatalities this holiday weekend. Right now we have 82. You're not trying".

if it bleeds it leads. CNN setting up a leader-board is nothing new. This is what the leftists do. They highlight the tragedy and misery of others as a lesson in how their ideology works and their opposition is to blame, even when the perpetrators are from their side of the ideological camp. These people are corrupt to the core from Obama on down, they are evil and why we let them keep breathing the same air we do is a mystery to me anymore.

Their slow, incremental, slow motion leftist policy making has infested the culture and politics. They are winning because the opposition, aka conservatives are spineless cowards who will not meet them on the field of battle, but instead bend their knees to these people asking for mercy and acceptance. It's sickening and you can see why the appeal of someone like Trump is attractive. He doesn't play that game. He doesn't need their approval.

The only person that Obama wants to have a gun was Michael Brown.

He didn't care hat he was sealing it from a cop.

What is funny about Obama getting TV time yesterday was that before the bodies even assumed room temperature, he was there to scold everyone on the utter lies he proclaimed. He just absolutely lied on TV and no one called him out on it. Not that anyone in his camp would. While vilifying gun crime on gun-free zone campuses, oh the fucking irony, he utterly fails to offer a solution of any kind and instead politicizes another mass murder by another rancid leftist, who used anti-christian bigotry to fuel his murderous rage and it's still blamed on conservatives and 2A proponents. This man has zero shame. None. Short of him holding the bodies of the dead as plea to emotion for him wanting abolition of the 2A, the totally lies about the states and counties with the strictest gun laws in the country and the levels of all-time high murder and crime within them. Fucking asshole.

It seems that gun crime rates (especially these sorts) are highest exactly where gun control laws are the strictest.

I hope all this gets hashed out in the next Republican candidate debate. Of course the Dems are reluctant to talk about anything of this at all, out of fear of embarrassing her highness. All they have is Mr. Bully-In-The-Pulpit pleading for "The Chicago Way."

Trooper, I think you are wrong. He would have been happy if Trayvon had gotten one off of Zimmerman. Also, I don't think Obama minds his Secret Service detail being armed. He certainly hasn't called on them to be disarmed, and they aren't exactly showing they deserve a higher level of trust.

Concealed carry would decrease the body count in some of these cases. But as Meth points out this was a gun-free zone...

Megyn Kelly was ranting last nite that reports of these mass shootings should be restricted to print media, and that splashing them all over the news encourages more wannabe infamy. I think she is onto something, but it ain't gonna happen.
