Be it by gun, hatchet, partner, or auto accident...

They only "care" and get "outraged" if it fits their narrative, everyone else can go pound sand. A recent amusing thing now is even if the murder does NOT use a firearm, they go to "just imagine how much worse it COULD have been if he had a gun"..

It is almost like the MSM, want gun murders to push their agenda, if they don't get one, they "imagine it", and YOU gentle reader, should nod in agreement.

The most recent example of this twisted logic..

That the alleged assailant in Nashville, Vincente David Montano, was wielding a pellet gun that only, quite convincingly, looked like a real gun changes the outcome, but not the terror. Some of us may decide going out to the movies isn’t worth it.

The strength of the gun lobby in America and the fears of some that they will lose rights conferred, they say, by the Second Amendment are only part of the reason such topics are mostly avoided in the business world, including in the business media. Our attachment to guns crosses lines of race, gender and sexual orientation: it is a national disposition. Who wants to mess with that?
