9. There is no connection to Bundy wearing pants and his crimes.

However, the topic of these last several days has included whether or not POC are subject to race-based discrimination.

Yet, because of the acts of Micah Johnson that discussion has been derailed and many vices are attempting to shift the narrative to talks about guns.

Alton Sterling was carrying a gun. However, it appears he was not reaching for the gun but he was also illegally in possession of a gun because he is a convicted felon.

Philando Castile was carrying a gun. He was legally entitled to do so. He was shot by a Hispanic officer who contends Mr. Castile was reaching for the gun.

Eric Garner was unarmed. He was choked to death even though all the evidence shows he made no effort to resist his arrest.

Michael Brown was shot and the DOJ's report confirms the officer's account that Mr. Brown was facing the officer, perhaps even charging the officer, and was not surrendering.

So far, the only connection between any of these incidents is the fact gun control advocates want to use them to deny people their rights.
