Gun Hypocrisy…

Well…after the latest mass shooting here in the US, the go to talking point for the right was that it was the gun free zones that caused the deaths since that’s where they occurred…not that crazies can get their hands on guns easily or that the hate spouted by the right spurred these nuts on….but the latest bit of hypocrisy is so blatant that I wonder why the media…oh, yeah, it’s the media…has not picked up on this…or at least not the people that used to do this job…while the right and the NRA are always pushing for more and more guns anywhere…even in elementary schools as they have here in Michigan…since they push the idea that “good guys with guns can stop bad guys with guns” but I guess it doesn’t apply to them…at every repub debate, meeting or event, guns are banned for a very surprising reason when you listen to the repubs normal talking points…they are banned for the “safety of the visitors at these events” so, guns everywhere else makes you safer but only at repub events do they make you less safe? The NRA even bans weapons at their conventions, a place where you would think that the “good guys with guns” would be welcomed to make that convention the safest place in the world. Look, lets be blunt…many. many studies have shown that more guns mean more killings…so,the next time you hear anyone on the right saying you should be able to carry a gun anywhere, ask them why not at their conventions? Hypocrites…but, you know that….geez…
