NY Times: Stop calling "gun control" Gun Control

[Mikej]

Have any of you read the COMMENTS to that article? Scary!

You don't need a subscription. Right click on the link, when the box drops down select "Open link in inPrivate window" that USUALLY circumvents that bullsnot.

Hey, thank you! On MY right click it's an "Incognito Window", just sayin'. Glad to hear it's useful for something other than, uh, adult entertainment.

So I read some of it. Pretty much read like you'd expect from an anti firearm/2nd Amendment Karen/snowflake sort. I wonder if she, HE'D, be screaming if the article had parts of it edited out, by the government? You know, for the good of all?

But they HAD to turn it to Asian Hate, because it it was a "sex addiction" that would make him a VICTIM and cancel the crime. Because as we all know, it is NEVER the victim's fault.

It's clearly an EPIDEMIC OF GUN VIOLENCE/NATIONAL HEALTH CRISIS/VIRUS.

Ooops.....nothing is a "crisis" with Biden at the helm (until he approves with the narrative). But, using such "medical terms" is useful in this time of the CCP Virus. It helps the LEFT to come up with even more restrictions on Americans. Note that this was put out in Dec. 2020.

Aloha, Mark

The Dems have only one solution, which is more control over the citizenry. They seek a one-party system to enforce that final solution, and that demands a one-problem narrative. Extremism, COVID-19, gun violence, white supremacy ... these are but symptoms of the same epidemic, and the only cure is ... more Democrats! When their policies work, it proves they are right; if their policies fail, it shows they just aren't going far enough. Anyone who's ever cracked open a history book (or '1984') knows what I am getting at here.

You can call it whatever you want, it's still tyranny.

Typical leftist crap. The left turned the word "Liberal" into a bad joke, an epithet so they started calling themselves "progressives" because progress is good, right? Only deplorable Neanderthals would be against progress. But their antics will no doubt trash the Progressive term and in a few years they'll finally cop to what they really are: Communists.
To misquote Shakespeare, "A turd by any other name still reeks"

Redefining common terms in plain English. A favorite trick of the political left.

Language matters. This language doesn’t help.

Oh I knew the first time I heard the term "gun safety" roll out of the mouth of one of those Bozos -- probably the fake Hispanic O'Rourke -- that the game was afoot. I mean you'd have to be a monster to oppose "safety" right? Just more gaslighting wokeabulary from the beta cucks.

Marxism 101. Orwell did a fantastic job of warning us about this. We didn't listen, obviously. Now an unlawfully present foreign national is an "immigrant," any gun owner is a "white nationalist," and a girl is a boy, a boy is a girl, a tax increase is an "investment," global cooling became global warming became climate change, and acts of terrorism are "man caused disasters." And yes, gun control is now gun safety for who in their right mind would oppose "safety" except for a trans-phobic, climate-denying, racist insurrectionist? I mean the mentally-ill Syrian incel who shot ten white people in Boulder is a white man according to the wokeabularians.

No, it is is not even remotely accurate or honest. It is a deliberate attempt to obfuscate the real agenda, which "control" adequately covers.

No, no, no. You're simply confused. Here, let me clear it up for you.

Gun Control:


Gun Safety:


Gun Violence:


Gun Hazard:



See? It all makes sense.

The 30 seconds I spent on the author's Wiki leads to some pretty obvious assumptions ( you know, the kind he would have about a knuckle dragger such as myself).

Over educated, elitist, no children, lives to work. Also,his personal opinions are superior to yours because he's been cursed with the new and improved secularist "white man's burden ".

Personal attacks are okay if he's making the world a better place.

But if he's ever on the receiving end, it's definitely a hate crime.

I have more scar tissue on my knuckles and fingers than Mr. Bruni has on his entire body.

Unless his lipo for flanks and love handles left a mark maybe

I was thinking he must have some calluses on his knees, but what do I know.

1) I like rattlesnakes a lot better than the DNC.

2) "We must try to eschew obfuscation and espouse elucidation!"
Spoken like a true intellectual! You are a scholar sir.

3) The Proggies know that their true agenda would be rejected out of hand if it were accurately presented so they lie and obfuscate.

 

[Uberhoo]

Gun Safety laws are not gun control = the BIG LIE
(one of too many to count from the left).

 

[Capn Jack]

you're cordially invited to engage in self-fornication, you disingenuous yutz.

 

[crstrode]

But I LIKE rattlesnakes.

I like the look of rattlesnake hides tacked up in my garage.

I also like coyotes and spiders. People, not so much.
