The Left's obsession with your guns

The left has their act down. Honed over decades. They want the 2nd Amendment reversed and they're not going to stop until they get it. Each gun related incident is their opportunity to advance their position. Their power to do this is emotion. So each incident the emotion is escalated to deafening levels and coverage that is total. Their single answer is give us your guns. They'll settle for this takeover in increments.

The right has its act down too. Dealing with this gun-grabbing obsession for decades. They know this political gamesmanship top to bottom through and through. Just as the left is locked and loaded, they too are prepared to immediately dig into every single element surrounding the incidents and expose the entire environment that allows such catastrophes to happen. They've heard their one time AG say "never let a catastrophe go to waste" and they respond.

Today Oregon Muse summarizes. Parkland shooter was known to local police, known to the FBI, known to teachers and school administrators, who all did nothing. The armed guard at the school allowed six minutes of shooting as he cowered outside the building. At every level of government top to bottom, law enforcement, schools, public services all failed to do their jobs, and still the answer is clamp down on guns. Not a single one of them accepts the responsibility of their own jobs.

The left insists on a national conversation but shaped and directed by them to drive their gun grabbing agenda under the wording of sensible laws. They are not capable of discussing their own policy and behavioral failures. Compare national conversations between CNN scripted version and Trump's own of actual listening.

Yesterday Tucker Carlson tried to interview Florida state Senator Gary Farmer specifically about this stacked failure, but Farmer's idea of government failure is its failure to successfully clamp down on guns. While filibustering his own script, the single thing he can discuss and with no variation, he actually says, "you're not listening, Tucker, that why you have two ears and one mouth." As usual, guilty of the thing he is charging. Tucker is trying to get him to respond to known government failures at several local points of responsibility and national level of FBI, but Farmer cannot even hear that. Farmer cannot allow that to be discussed, so he bathers and accuses Tucker of interrupting his filibustering.

If you're not on blood pressure medication, I recommend these three short videos. This is what you're in for if you're interested in engaging conversation. Better, I think, to just beat them to death electorally until they can face the futility of exercising their obsession, their manipulation of traumatized young people, and their emotion-based methods to eliminate your Constitutionally protected rights. There really is no point in talking.

Disclosure: I don't own any guns and I don't want any. All of the gun owners I know are Democrats. In their view they are being reasonable. They're not interested in busting a move Constitutionally protected rights. They just don't see a point in allowing such fierce weapons. They would disagree with this characterization.

I don't understand Trump. I acknowledge he's more clever than I am. He's offering to make bump stocks illegal and raise the age for allowing gun ownership. I wouldn't budge an inch. He says that he's willing to accept those restrictions while also hardening soft target schools. Maybe he knows the restrictions will not pass Congress. Maybe this is his art of the deal. I don't know, but he sure is fascinating to watch. His listening session was real. He had his own handwritten list of points he wanted to be sure to make, including, "I hear you" while he had no idea what his invited guests would say. And it was heart wrenching. For some reason, he wanted his list shown. He showed his card. He knows what his opposition will do with whatever they see. CNN's contrived Town Hall was scripted, and they used the children for maximum emotion and for national indoctrination. They do know how to put on a show. But so does Trump. And Trump does it better. CNN's show works only for CNN viewers. Trump's show works for every reasonable viewer. Trump's audience grows while CNN's audience diminishes.
