This is really a story from Bizzaro world
More than 1,000 demonstrators — including nearly 100 from Newtown, Connecticut, the site of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting rampage — marched across the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday, demanding that action be taken to stem the recent wave of mass shootings across the U.S.
…”We have to stop the madness,” said U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. “Too many people have died, and too many lobbyists have lied.”
Who’s lying? First up there hasn’t been a “Wave” of “Mass Shootings”. The numbers are all statistical noise every mass shooting event is a statistical outlier and like outliers they really don’t show any sort of trend. Also they are marching in NEW YORK CITY! The current gun control Capital of America, and how has that SAFE act worked out for them?
Heck many of the events they rally around have been presented in shamefully misleading light.
Who lies? And for the kicker there’s this:
The event was organized by several groups — including Moms Demand Action, Everytown For Gun Safety and Mayors Against Illegal Guns — which are all funded by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The billionaire Bloomberg, who was not in attendance, has become one of the nation’s most visible gun control advocates and has pumped millions of his own money into the cause.
Even this propaganda piece can’t help but cover it’s ass. “SEVERAL GROUPS” is what they say, but they do point out that really this the paid entourage of ONE MAN. Also one man who has a LOT of juice to block off a major bridge and staff it with police officers, and given his past activities I wonder how much of this was paid for illegally with City Money. Because as much as Shannon Watts bleats she isn’t going to appear in public unless there are SEVERAL semi-auto weapons with large capacity magazines close by.
