Not Good for Guns
« on: December 31, 2017, 11:48:10 AM »
I won't post a link since it's the Fox News live main page that changes a few times an hour, but currently, the top six stories all involve shooting and/or potential shootings of one kind or another. Not good for gun rights. I'm sure some of it has to do with the psychology of this time of the year, but still, the 24/7 news cycle is not helping.

24/7 news doesn't help anyone.

As horrible as this is gun rights survived a school full of dead kids, an angry Dem POTUS and a massive media push, so gun rights will survive this.

They will. I just hate to see a slew of these make the news when we have bills waiting on votes. Seems like every time there's important legislation in the pipe, the news goes overboard on the shooting stories.

Gee, you noticed that too?  What an amazing bunch of co-incidents.

LEO just killed today, plus 3-4 LEOs and non-LEOS injured in Colorado by some puckhead.  I'm too disgusted to get or disseminate any details.
