First, this uptick in violence was blamed on guns. Then the NRA. Then right wing radio. Then a 911 operator. Now, it’s the economy.

Press marching lock-step with the pending gun show bill: At one point, the video is stitched together to make it appear as though there’s a gangbanger with gloves on and his face wrapped in a bandanna actually attending a gun show, handling firearms, and offering a dealer $2,500 cash for a semiautomatic handgun.

Narrative

The narrative is that the big ol’ mean NRA was influenced by the Russians in supporting Trump. The reality: In a letter to Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, the NRA said it took 23 contributions – mostly membership dues – from Russians or Americans living in Russia, totaling about $2,500. Everything else is speculation.

The Texas shooter used a shotgun and a revolver. This kind of harshed the media narrative. And some good journalisming from USA Today calling the guns less lethal. Pepper spray is less lethal, you idiots. Not shotguns and revolvers. Depending on the range, the shotty is more lethal.

Turns out, not so much: In Belleville, Hodgkinson had purchased at least three guns, all from a local gun dealer, and had a […]
