Political Muzak

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
The Obama Administration says banning ammunition protects the right to keep and bear arms.
It’s as if their speech-writer is a computerized buzz-word generator. Doesn’t make any sense, doesn’t have to, won’t fool anybody and isn’t intended to. It’s just soothing white noise.

I’ve been observing this for the past few years – mostly from Obama, but the Minnesota DFL as adopted it as well:
- Say whatever rhetorically fits the narrative
- Don’t worry about your voter base – low-information, gullible people, many of them with advanced degrees – prodding into it too deeply.
- Worry even less about the media bothering you with it.
It’s brilliant, really, if sliding into petty dictatorship is what you’re after.

Yeah, nothing says “protecting 2nd Amendment rights” to me like making millions of lawfully owned firearms useless. Especially since these guns are rarely used to attack police.
How does he sleep at night lying like that?
