What The Media Won't Tell You About "Gun Violence."

As I begin this episode I must confess that I am at a loss for words. Tragedies like what happened in Orlando should never happen. Yet they persist, even though I do not recall this being a problem under Bush. Both sides of the isle seem to be pointing fingers at the wrong things. I heard on the radio someone saying that the LGBT community should reject the well-wishing from Christians, and that the LGBT community should stand with Blacks and Latinos against the Christians, because religious bigotry lead to this incident.  This, of course, was said in response to well-wishing from Donald Trump, promising to stand with the LGBT community against this sort of insanity.

Nothing to blame but the individual responsible

This weekend I was going to write about Blue Ocean Marketing and how the GOP, instead of freaking out about how we need to move left to attract people who never vote for us could instead use Blue Ocean Marketing to achieve an outreach to an entire market of new voters. Nevertheless three shootings occurred which changed the nature of my blog this weekend. I know a lot of folks are in shock and mourning, my heart goes out to the victims, but I am concerned because there’s already talk from the Ruling Class about gun control, petitions on whitehouse.gov demanding our rights to bear arms be infringed to stop crimes like this, but there’s a problem. Connecticut and Oregon are both states which are deep blue, and both have tight gun regulations already and both have to cede the point that their tight gun regulations did nothing to stop these shootings.
