This will make liberals mad because it contradicts their anti-gun narrative.  Quote: "“There is a strong negative relationship between the number of law-abiding citizens with permits and the crime rate — as more people obtain permits there is a greater decline in violent crime rates. For each additional year that a concealed handgun law is in effect the murder rate declines by 3 percent, rape by 2 percent, and robberies by over 2 percent.”  Other research bears this out. Five years ago Forbes columnist Larry Bell pointed to a then-recent Pew Research Study that found that “(n)ational rates of gun homicide and other violent gun crimes” had dropped significantly since the mid-1990s."  And, "Why is that? I’m not going to speculate because I’m not a trained researcher, but I will quote John R. Lott, who has said many times over, “More guns, less crime.”     https://conservativetribune.com/reporter-tells-truth-about-guns/?   and more   http://libertyvideonews.com/steven-crowder-crushes-gun-control-arguments-in-54-seconds/ 

This victim of a shooting from a crazed leftist nut job levels the liberals/Democrats for their uninformed and disdainful machinations after this latest tragedy.    https://conservativetribune.com/rep-shot-by-crazed-gunman-response/?7   To them facts do not matter.  False, uninformed, biased views do not kill. Their ill advised and controlling messaging and narratives do.

Here is a bit of relevant information that helps put the political left's gun control narrative in perspective.  The founders gave us the 1st and 2nd Amendments in that order on purpose.  The memory was still fresh in their minds of their successful victory in the Revolutionary War over an overbearing central government. The dictatorial British government refused to either acknowledge or listen to their rightful grievances.  They knew first hand the purpose of having an armed citizenry against such tyranny. Throughout history leftist dictators, communists and socialists tyrants have always first disarmed citizens before putting the hammer down with their oppressive control of the them. Moving on to conditions today, consider this quote from the Religion and Politics web site: "On June 25, 1962, the United States Supreme Court decided in Engel v. Vitale that a prayer approved by the New York Board of Regents for use in schools violated the First Amendment by constituting an establishment of religion. The following year, in Abington School District v. Schempp, the Court disallowed Bible readings in public schools for similar reasons. These two landmark Supreme Court decisions centered on the place of religion in public education, and particularly the place of Protestantism, which had long been accepted as the given American faith tradition. Both decisions ultimately changed the face of American civil society, and in turn, helped usher in the last half-century of the culture wars."  Two years later progressive Democrat President Lyndon Johnson spearheaded the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights act.  Among other things it started the cascading destruction of the family unit, especially black families. Tax benefits were afforded single parent homes.  The slow destruction of two parent homes and strong family units was underway. The consequences have been devastating. Prior to 1980 the US had the second highest rated education system in the world.  That was the year progressive Democrat president Jimmy Carter established the federal Department of Education, a unconstitutional act since the Constitution does not grant presidential administrations any responsibility for education. Once in control of education relevant educational coverage of American history and civics began to be removed and altered to fit progressive narratives that promote big government using distorted/revised history and downplaying the vital role citizen's responsibilities in controlling an irresponsible government. Leftist's socialistic narratives now dominate social science classes in both K-12 and higher education. In the last international assessment the US had fallen in rank to 17th in educational achievement. There is more to the story but the above serves as an outline.  Gun control has been a long established goal of America's political left.  The above narrative highlighted steps taken to set the stage for the currant furor over gun control.  By progressive/left wing design people no longer understand the purpose of either the 1st and 2d Amendments to the Constitution.  Consequently the purposeful progressive Democrat's long term dumbing down of the American public has been a big success.  Hollywood and the mainstream media are co-conspirators in the whole scheme. The political left can now manipulate a purposefully uneducated and misguided public to facilitate their goal of controlling speech (political correctness) and pursue steps towards the elimination of guns in order to install their dream of a socialist state with them having dictatorial control.  That in a nut shell is why we are where we are and how we got here.

This adds to the above perspective.  https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/02/22/kids-then-and-now/   This illustrates the media's role in corrupt left wing efforts to manipulate things. https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/02/22/florida-shooting-survivor-cnn-gave-scripted-question-after-refusing-question-about-armed-guards/     More rampant misrepresentation/gun control ignorance:  http://americannewsupdate.com/gun-control-driven-by-emotion-ignorance/   Yet more facts refute leftist gun control maneuvers.   http://rightwingvideos.com/another-narrative-busted-according-to-the-fbi-knives-kill-far-more-people-than-rifles/

True liberal colors are on full display.  They lambast Trump for visiting the victims families and going to the hospital claiming in effect that the attack was somehow his fault because of his stance on gun control.  This bias against him is so strong they cannot and do not think logically.  If they looked at the facts they would learn the conjured up falsehood that it is lack of gun control that is at fault - that claim has been disproved time and time again.  Why is it the sanctuary cities have more crime than others?  Why do cities like Chicago and Baltimore with tight gun control laws such failures at protecting their citizens? Because Democrats have long been in charge and still are.   The FBI has admitted they messed up - they had information about the killer but did not act on it. Leftists need to look no further than Obama's politicization of the DOJ and FBI to see how he turned them into cesspools of corruption for his political benefit.  Therefore, if they had not wasted time and resources on their investigation based on a fake dossier of Trump they may have been able to do their jobs and prevent the disaster.  http://trumptrainnews.com/articles/liberals-launch-attack-on-president-trump   Leftists are experts in deflecting people's attention away from their many screw ups and blaming others for their mistakes.

This item puts a wrap on this discussion of the gun control issue.  Quote: "The reason we have these mass shootings in America isn't that we have too many people with guns, but primarily due to the mindset of many young people in our country who have become literally detached from reality. This mental condition is due to several factors from Progressive politics to an ever-increasing population of people who spend most of their time either on the internet, gaming, or both. Leftist politics plays a large part in influencing the minds of such people.

Why anyone watches idiots like Jimmy Kimmel is beyond me.  His misguided, ill informed and utterly ridiculous rants serve no useful purpose. They instead serve to misinform and cause harm. https://conservativetribune.com/kimmel-falls-apart-trump/?
