Why do you keep putting the word gun in front of the word violence...?

Actually, no.

But the upper-educated Americans, well, they peg the Idiot Meter, so it skews the average.

Would it be true to suggest that most NRA-ers believe that gun violence is NOT a problem? At least not a big enough problem for society to do anything about? If so, OK...but then I wish they'd just say that.

Anytime someone commits violence or murder with a gun, the media and politicians like to use the labels "gunman" or "gun violence". Ever heard of a knife murderer called a "knifeman"? Ever heard of a "baseball batman", a "fistman", a "poisonman", a "bombman"? Ever heard the media talk of "knife violence", "club violence", "bomb violence" or "poison violence"?

The media and politicians have an agenda, and those who don't see it are either blind or naive. Maybe you folks need to start asking yourselves why when someone commits murder or violence with a gun, the tool used is demonized by the media, but when other deadly tools are used, the blame is placed on the actor, not the tool used.

No, gun violence is fake. Nobody dies from guns, it's all an illusion.


Liberal media, and all that.

You show me an "evolved" human. I'll show you a really good PR firm.

Devolution, however, happens all the time.
