If that’s the case, then you’d better get to it — there’s a lot of people out there speculating wildly and making accusations about the case.
Oh, and don’t forget all of the producers for the mainstream media outlets — probably best to start with them.
Can’t embed that particular clip so you’ll have to click through to see it.
I understand that the NRA is, so far, completely silent. I don’t blame them. The anti-rights crowd will twist anything that the NRA says, so it’s pointless to make any remarks. [Update: I stand corrected. Source.]
The anti-rights crowd is even going as far as threatening the lives of law-abiding citizens. Way to stay classy.
And, not that I watch anything on television of any consequence anymore, but I hear that some of the networks are cutting and running and trying to distance themselves from anything involving firearms.
In a statement that I happened to hear on the radio on the way to work, the producer said something to the effect of, “This decision has nothing to do with Friday’s events, as we’ve been planning this for awhile. The show will be canceled immediately and there will be no reruns and no video sales.”
Uh-huh.
It’s not just television.
No doubt, everyone has heard that a (rather mediocre, in my opinion) sporting goods store is trying to distance itself from firearms that have a certain appearance for fear that people might see them associating with, I dunno, black rifles.
I’ll buy all my sporting/outdoor stuff elsewhere now, thanks.
And I just heard that an online retailer (worth less than dirt? interesting) has suspended all online sales of firearms. Never mind the fact that there’s nothing wrong with that as they still need to be transferred via FFL in the recipient’s state of residence anyway.
Who’s going to cut and run next?
Looking at Google stats this morning, I see that page views on my 9MM Carry Options rant have quadrupled in the last few days.
That, and I hear tell that firearms sales have been brisk. Oh, and ammunition — I stopped by a local retailer on Sunday and found that ammunition is getting wiped out.
I wonder why.
What does the citizenry see? What do they know?
