Remember, They’re Wrong About Everything, Especially On Firearms
In June, the Washington Free Beacon’s Editor-in-Chief, Matthew Continetti had a good column about how the elite media doesn’t
know what it’s talking about in the Trump era.
“
They’re wrong about everything,” read the headline—and that is entirely applicable when it comes to news reports about guns and gun laws. It’s bad. We have media personalities not knowing the difference between semiautomatic and automatic—and not knowing that there have been laws regulating the latter since the 1930s. Again, liberal media folks, a semiautomatic system is one that discharges one round per trigger pull from a self-reloading system (aka virtually every firearm that’s sold on the market that isn’t a revolver or a bolt-action rifle). Second, every gun dealer with a federal firearms license has to perform background checks on
all purchases. Third, and this relates
to the Texas shooter, being convicted of domestic abuse prohibits you from owning guns. No debate here. If you’re found guilty of this offense, you should have your gun rights stripped.
On Sunday, Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, opened fire at a Baptist church, killing 26 people and wounding an additional 20 with a rifle. He was given a bad-conduct discharge in 2014 from the U.S. Air Force. Prior to that, however, he was convicted of domestic abuse against his wife and child in 2012, and given a yearlong jail sentence. That conviction should have barred him from owning guns, but he purchased a rifle in April of 2016 from Academy Sports & Outdoors. That’s the real question here. Instead, we have liberal mocking people for offering thoughts and prayers, even though they defended “Allahu Akbar” days before, and spouting off crap that is just untrue about firearms
