Paraphrasing King Solomon, "All is drivel." I'm referring to much of the media coverage of the San Bernadino shooting.
First the media and their Ruling Class masters were in full-throated denial that it could have been Islamic terrorism. Then, when the details began to emerge that made it incontrovertibly clear that it was, they have simply continued. One reporterette went so far as to surmise that it was because Mrs. Killer was post-menopausal. Amazing.
From start to finish, of course, the media and the Left have all joined in another chorus of "We need more gun control!" This refrain should really be sub-titled, "We want to confiscate everybody's guns!" for that's what they really mean. Joy Overbeck, writing in Townhall, neatly disposes of this with one paragraph in a piece today:
Actually, the gun-haters in the media, the Democrat party, and the Daily News have it exactly backwards. Bad guys will always be able to get whatever weapons they choose. Proof: the cities with the strictest gun laws like Chicago, New York, and Detroit have the most gun crime. When bad guys are bent on massacre, they understandably prefer that they are the only ones with guns. They may be insane, but they’re not stupid.
Of course reality and facts have never deterred the Left from their march to their imagined Camelot, with its unicorns and rainbows and this total sense of unreality shows no signs of abating. It's the rest of us that I worry about if we are lulled into inaction by the incessant secondhand smoke from our liberal anti-reality stoners.
