I am not espousing a conspiracy by the government, though nothing is beyond this administration...I was jokingly saying to a few guys at work that all of these shootings were "Fast and Furious part 2". All of these shootings are set up to show how evil guns are and that something must be done. Everyone I was saying it to believed that it was a possibility. I wouldnt put it past the current government but I highly doubt it.
I am saying that the media is made up of people who individually and institutionally have proven their ignorance and bias against firearms and willingness to manipulate the story, intentionally or otherwise, to suit this bias.
It requires no cabal, no secret memos, no shady initiation right... Only that people are willing suckers to the snake oil they are selling.
