The New York Times is confused why Republicans don’t want more gun restrictions and want more concealed carry after the Alexandria shooting.
At first the answer is obvious. Republicans under attack want to defend themselves.
I think there is more to the NYT pearl clutching than that. The Revolution Chic of the Leftist Elite like their revolutionaries alive.
Saul Alinsky and Bernardine Dohrn are both professors. Mumia Abu Jamal and Oscar Lopez Rivera became celebrities from prison.
There is nothing for limousine liberals to gain from one of their revolutionaries getting shot by an armed Congressional aide while trying to ambush a Congressman. It makes them look even more unhinged and concealed carry a better idea.
We need to be easy targets for them to get their Che wannabe rocks off. Notice how there wasn’t a problem with Antifa until a bunch of Alt-Right fought back and kicked some ass?
They will never admit to it but I think it’s true.
They can’t enjoy their political snuff film if the intended victim kills the star.
It’s been somewhat entertaining listening to all these left wing, anti-gun radicals trying to explain how this guy doesn’t represent all Democratic Socialists but does represent all white, male, gun owners.
They also like to have their revolutionaries alive so they can be pardoned. :\
It was suggested over at Legal Insurrection that the Dems need to get rid of the whackjobs before they lecture us on gun control.
I responded that they can’t. They NEED violence to drive The Narrative ™, and although it would work better for them if the violence was brought by a White Christian NRA-card-carrying TEA Party member, violence is violence and they’ll take what they can get…
… which says something about them and The Narrative ™.
They NEED violence. They NEED victims. They can’t claim to stand for victims’ rights when there are no victims.
Notice the tone of the NYT article: you can imagine them scratching their heads with a baffled look on their face, saying, “gee, how come they still like guns?” Then they trot out the usual lies about background checks and a couple of choice bites. Then professional publicist and bloomberg shill Demanding Mom once again is described as “springing up overnight after newtown,” when it was revealed ages ago that the gun confiscators had a “playbook” that included a section about taking advantage of a mass shooting.
Even though the tone is “head scratch” it is obvious to a careful reader that this is yet another editorial masquerading as news.
And people still think that the NYT is trustworthy.
