Guns

Sympathy and charity are the natural reactions to a tragedy. Using the deaths of innocent people as an immediate platform for political gain is inhuman. So, naturally, that’s the route Hollywood elitists chose to take just hours after the school shooting in Santa Fe that left 10 dead and several injured. 

Moments after another school shooting, this time in Santa Fe, TX (between Galveston and Houston) on Friday, CNN.com regurgitated a dubious interactive article claiming that there have been 22 school shootings in 2018. Not only did CNN’s count not follow the congressionally-backed definition of a mass shooting, while their examples did all occur on a school campus, many were beyond the realm of…

During MSNBC’s breaking news coverage of Friday’s Texas school shooting, former ATF agent and NBC News law enforcement analyst Jim Cavanaugh took time to attack President Trump for commenting on the tragedy at a White House event, dismissing those remarks of sympathy for the victims as “empty words” since the President had not pushed for gun control.

The news that the National Rifle Association has chosen Oliver North as the organization’s next president left NBC “baffled” on Tuesday. Both the Today show and CBS This Morning focused heavily on the “controversial” figure’s connections to the Iran-Contra scandal from 30 years ago.  

So far, FNC is the only national network to highlight a recent story about an elderly Philadelphia woman, Maxine Thompson, who used a gun to fight off an intruder who was trying to break into her home and refused a warning to go away. It's just the kind of story that the public should hear about more often to counteract the liberal narrative that guns are used primarily to commit crimes when, in…

On Sunday's CNN Newsroom, early morning anchor Natalie Allen repeatedly freaked out over President Donald Trump citing the failures of gun control in Europe in his address to the NRA as the CNN host hyped anger expressed from French and British political figures. She employed words like "preposterous" and "bizarre" to deride the President's speech.

Once again, protests against the NRA at its annual convention, this time in Dallas, have been pathetic. Turnout has been "shockingly small." One event had "maybe 100 (people), half of whom were journalists." An actress involved in the protest movement attended — accompanied by allegedly armed security guards, who illegally "chase(d) Texans out of a public park simply because they asked if she…

On the occasion of the annual NRA convention, in Dallas, New York Daily News sports writer Mike Lupica charges that President Donald Trump and his NRP friends are now living in fear of the high school students advocating against the Second Amendment. Without once mentioning mental health as a major cause in mass shootings, Lupica attacked Trump, Vice-president Mike Pence and congregants of the "…

On New Day Sunday, CNN did something it does not typically do in that it actually allowed a pro-gun guest to be on and argue against the type of gun control pushed by liberal activists. Although Georgia gun dealer Hal Shouse was allowed to complain to CNN host Christi Paul about her failure to challenge anti-gun activist Cameron Kasky the day before, the segment also suffered from audio…

After President Donald Trump spoke to the National Rifle Association convention on Friday, CNN has not surprisingly reacted by bringing on liberal gun control activists and given them a mostly unchallenged forum to promote their agenda and bash gun rights supporters. On Friday night, Anderson Cooper spoke with Parkland student activists David Hogg and Cameron Kasky, and, the next morning, host…

Not only did the major liberal network news outlets (ABC, CBS, and NBC) and Spanish-language networks Univision and Telemundo ignore a lawsuit alleging a House Democrat of ‘child sex abuse’ during their Thursday evening broadcasts, they also completely overlooked the student-led Stand for the Second nationwide school walkout against gun control. This blackout came after they collectively spent 10…

Clyde Haberman’s “Retro Report” is advertised by the New York Times as a re-examination “of the leading stories of decades past,” but functions more as a way for Haberman to gather up and repurpose old liberal talking points from previous failed bursts of activism. Haberman’s latest, “Battle Was Always Uphill To Get Gun Laws Passed,” tackled the National Rifle Association, the new epitome of…

On Monday morning, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle read a brief suggesting "serious hypocrisy" on the part of the NRA for barring guns from a speech by Vice President Mike Pence because the pro-gun group generally supports allowing law-abiding citizens to bring guns into most public places. It seemed to be lost on the MSNBC host that the Secret Service will be providing security for the event, so the…

It’s always fun when cosmopolitan progressives done their pith helmets, grab their notebooks and head off study the fabled natives of the American interior -- that vast, dark blank space between NY and LA.
