Distractions. This past summer, that youngster in South Carolina killed nine people during a church meeting. The Left, unable to exploit the shooting as a failure of tougher background checks (the fellow should not have been able to buy the gun, but the FBI didn’t flag the sale in time to prevent him from arming himself), so instead they targeted the confederate flag that he was seen holding in a photo taken before the shooting. They were largely successful in diverting attention from the failures of the background checks and the thing was blamed for the shooting instead of the shooter.<\/p>\n
Last weekend, after a shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic, another nut killed three more people – he had a history of sociopathic behavior, but again the NICS failed to flag his gun sales – so the Left blamed criticism of the discussion of PP being in the used baby parts business. Not the fact that they were selling baby parts for fun and profit – the discussion about their practice.<\/p>\n
This week, it’s Islamic terrorism. In a rational society, the discussion would be about how we can make ourselves safer from terrorists, but instead the social justice warriors want to make it about the inanimate objects instead of the people who commit these crimes. Take, for example, this tweet from that fellow who wants us to think that he’s Black and doesn’t mind questioning his mother’s virtue to further that perception;<\/p>\n
\nGuns are the ULTIMATE phallic symbol.
No item in our society looks, and even functions more like a penis than a handgun.<\/p>\n
