It's getting really scary out there folks.  These are going up in NY but I am sure it will spread.  I have told you more than once that leftist ideology always leads to totalitarianism.  I suggest you be prepared to defend yourself.

This from people that refer to the detention centers as "concentration camps".  I see that there was total panic in Times Square last night when some noise that sounded like gun shots (and wasn't) went off.  My first thought was "is this staged?"

If you were an unhinged leftist and saw this reaction by the left and media and wanted to make a statement you would seriously consider a similar action.  And based on the rhetoric on the left they would feel totally justified.  Expect more of these events as copycats because the left and media will give them what they want.  It is really scary right now.  They are pure evil.

"These are going up in NY but I am sure it will spread."

One link to an image on a sharing site is meaningless. Anyone could create it. What do you allege is "going on?" What is the source of your information?

I was watching the coverage of the President's visit to Dayton and to El Paso.  Funny, CNN couldn't find anyone to interview but Democratic politicans and protestors. Surely there were people there that support the President.  Oh and one person, only described as wearing a MAGA hat was speaking in front of the memorial crosses was condemned by the CNN reporter as "no place to make this a political event".  CNN is so far to the left that they have almost eclipsed themselves.  

I was glad to hear Trump say today that a ban of ARs won't be happening as there is no political appetite for that.  100% background checks is on the table and I don't see anyone being against that.  Of course the Left is blaming the NRA.  Frankly, I don't think that the NRA is nearly as powerful as the left thinks.  The left doesn't account for the number of gun owners and hunters in this country who speak to their legislators.  Additionally, there are all those gun manufactuers, gun part manufactuers, etc that hope to keep their jobs in a country where so much manufacturing went overseas.

Agree about the NRA.  I am a member but the NRA does not own me.

Well, as you well know, the NRA leadership has been in turmoil for the last couple of years.  What the Left fails to see is that it is their own fault that the NRA takes a hard, non-negotional stance. The NRA knows that whatever it agrees to, it will never be enough for the gun-banning left.  I understand in the past the NRA has tried to negotiate and found this out the hard way.  I think a lot of gun owners are far more reasonable than the Left thinks, but they just don't want to get on the slippery slope.  Guns and hunting are part of the hertiage of our country.

I saw some fool psychiatrist on the news who is the head of the Psychiatric Association and didn't want to blame mental illness for the mass shootings.  I can semi-understand his point in that they do not want to leave the impression that everyone with mental illenss is a danger; and that they don't want to discourage people from seeking treatment.  But to say that mental illness is not any factor just isn't true.  There are psychopaths that want to kill people; there are depressed people that want to die by police shooting, and as we saw in the movie theatre shooting, there are schizophrenics that lose their grasp on reality.  You can't paint all mentally ill people with the broad brush of potential killers; but I think there has to be something wrong mentally to blame all of your problems and the problems of society on one group or another.  And when you surround yourself with others that think like that, it's not too far a stretch to get into the same kind of group think that has lead to genocides.  

I really hope that this whole thing will cause Trump, not to give up the principles that he is right about, but to perhaps put more thought into how he expresses himself.
