Another slaughter.<\/p>\n

This morning, the media is awash with the usual detritus – liberal hacks demanding gun control, almost visibly re-zipping their pants after getting the news of a new mass shooting (other than the mass shooting that happens every weekend in Chicago, Newark, New Orleans, Detroit, Oakland, Stockton, and North Minneapolis; they’re only concerned about mass shootings of people who look like them<\/em>)<\/p>\n

But if you take anything away from today’s “news” “coverage”, just remember:<\/p>\n

It’s the fault<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0NRA<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0“Gun Nuts<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: \u00a0Maybe the NRA was responsible for this, too?\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 2: \u00a0Was Wayne LaPierre behind this<\/a>?<\/p>\n

UPDATE 3: \u00a0MN’s gun control jackals are having an event at a “pride” event in Golden Valley today. \u00a0Why do I picture Nancy Nord Bence and Ron Latz doing cartwheels every time news of a shooting comes through?<\/p>\n

UPDATE 4: \u00a0Darn that NRA<\/a>!~<\/p>\n

The similarities between the November attack on the Bataclan nightclub in Paris and that the shooter who appeared to target a gay dance club during the Muslim month of Ramadan “indicates an ISIS-inspired act of terrorism<\/strong>,” Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Intelligence officers are combing through terrorism databases to see if there are any known links between alleged shooter and a terrorist group, Schiff said. Multiple outlets, including CNN, reported Mateen made a 911 call before the attack, pledging\u00a0allegiance to ISIS<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whenever an event like this is in the news, I urge people not to believe the news media any more than usual for the first 72 hours; \u00a0the difference between any ethical reporter and outlet and Katie Couric or Diane Sawyer<\/a> is one big fat paycheck.<\/p>\n

But all the signs so far seem to be pointing toward “terror attack in support of ISIS” rather than “crazy guy with a gun”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
