Ban idiots, not guns!


So we have more guns than ever, and gun violence has declined by "nearly 50%"? Wow is right.

And from the Washington Post no less, not exactly a bastion of
conservative thought or a stronghold of irresponsible journalism.

Certainly we are seeing a shift in the type of violence however.


I think the kind of violence the media sensationalized would not
happen as often if they did not make it so sensational.
Terror only works if we are so easily terrorized.

The simple fact remains, most stranger danger murders are people
nobody cares about, being killed by people nobody cares about and
nobody cares.

That doesn't stop the left from lumping these murders in with the
terrorism when they want to puff up the perceived danger.
