The mask has been removed. They think we are evil and, for the most part, no longer attempt to hide their contempt for us. That is a very, very good thing.
The Parkland massacre has also been a liberating event for them. Anyone who is a 2nd amendment supporter is now a killer with blood dripping from their souls.
It is no great surprise that, once again, they insist against all of the evidence, very, very loudly, that our gun control laws are lax or non-existent and that the only solution to the problem of lunatics getting their hands on guns is to deprive law abiding citizens of their 2nd amendment rights.
An excellent summation of the situation is provided by Branco, via Steven Hayward,
Being big government enthusiasts the left is not able to blame those responsible for the complete failure of the elaborate gun control regime and maintain any credibility. Every single government agency, schools, police, social services and the FBI, involved in the shooter's life failed completely and spectacularly. As I have written before, this sad state of affairs is the norm, not an aberration.
The situation is much worse than it appears. Via Instapundit, we have this, incomprehensible to ordinary people, outcome in a "straw purchaser" and illegal resale of multiple guns prosecution.
"A Chicago-area woman arrested last year for her role in illegally selling guns to prohibited buyers, some with gang affiliations, was sentenced to probation and community service last week."
So, not only are the police, school administrations and FBI apparently disastrously indifferent to our safety, in the occasional event that the authorities actually arrest someone for breaking our supposedly non-existent gun control laws, there is no meaningful punishment for the offender.
The cognitive dissonance is deafening.
Obviously more laws that we will enforce occasionally at no real detriment to the criminals involved will ameliorate the problem. Good luck with that.
Several corporations which have offered discount programs to NRA members for years have discontinued the programs in the face of SJW social media attacks encouraging boycotts of anyone and anything connected to the NRA. Some retailers have announced changes to the guns they will sell and to whom they will sell them in service to the same SJW's. A very bad business model in both cases. The SJW's are never satisfied.
I will no longer rent cars from National. I have been renting from them exclusively for a very long time. I unsubscribed from Dick's Sporting Goods email list.
Yesterday I joined the NRA. I don't own any guns. Yet.
