NRA ‘Salesmen Of The Year’

by

The Washington Post reports, “Gun control debates create gun production booms, government data show.”

The data also shows episodic spikes of production and firearm sales when there’s the possibility of new federal gun-control policies. The two biggest years for gun production in recent history — 2013 and 2016 — came during intense debates about whether Democrats would be able to curb access to firearms such as the AR-15.

“Gun lovers have been convinced that their right to buy guns in general, or particular types of guns, would be taken away by the politicians and they better hurry up and get whatever guns they have considered obtaining,” said Philip Cook, professor emeritus of public policy studies at Duke University.

The Newest Challenge For The ‘Tide Pod Generation’

It doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist to point out (heh) that the newest “Challenge” in support of Gun Control could leave the participants digitally challenged.  But, hey….most of the Tide Pod Generation are Two Thumb texters, so it probably wouldn’t matter to them any way.

CNBC reports, “Wayfair joins TripAdvisor, Nutrish in pulling ads from right-wing TV host Laura Ingraham over tweet to Parkland survivor“.

In a statement on Thursday, a company spokesperson said that TripAdvisor does not “condone the inappropriate comments made by this broadcaster.”

“In our view, these statements focused on a high school student, cross the line of decency. As such, we have made a decision to stop advertising on that program,” the spokesperson said.

It seems, however, that Mr. Demagogue Hogg can say anything he wants to an not be held to any reasonable standard.  Here’s an example from CNN, “Shooting survivor calls NRA ‘child murderers’.”  And TripAdvisor doesn’t consider statements like that ‘inappropriate’?  Here’s a clip of the young man delivering his screed.

Here’s a link to the complete CNN interview.

Fit To Be Hogg Tied

From the Gateway Pundit’s article, “Deranged…“, we find that Parkland High School’s Social Justice Warrior, David Hogg, may actually be a candidate for a Baker Act intervention.  Obviously, it does take a trained professional to make the final determination, but I’ll bet on the eyes every time – the Jack Nicholson eyes.

In a troubling profanity-laced video, theater student David Hogg appears unstable as he berates the viewer with lines referring to NRA Members as “Pathetic F*ers” who “want to continue to sell more guns, murder more children.” He begins the piece stating “they could have blood from children splattered all over their faces and they wouldn’t take action!”

Tide Pod Generation and Gun Control

TidePod Gen / iGen / Gen Z: Born between 1995 and 2012
As of 2017 most of these folks are still too young to have made an impact. However the older ones might be fighting our war in Afghanistan. The younger ones are hopefully still in school and planning on careers and jobs that will have strong demand and generate new opportunities.
