Republicans and Fox News: "White Nationalist Violence Has Nothing to Do With White Nationalism"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It’s well known by now that Republicans and their propaganda network, Fox News, go out of their way to blame anything and everything other than guns for gun violence. But since President Donald Trump has taken office, they’ve added another layer to their denial and deflection agenda — they blame anything and everything except white nationalism for violence committed by white nationalists.

So, following the mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and Fox News hosts chose to ignore some of the obvious motivations — the shooter shared a white nationalist manifesto minutes before the shooting — and the weapon used by the El Paso gunman and instead discussed an oft-cited cause for violence that has been widely disproven: video games.

Patrick not only made the connection between yesterday’s violence and video games, he called on the federal government to take action against the industry.

Patrick said, “How long are we going to ignore on federal level the video game industry?…I see a video game industry that teaches young people to kill… There have been studies that say it impacts people and studies that says it does not.” But in 2018, The New York Times reported that researchers found no connection to video games and mass shootings. And Psychology Today published a piece just last month citing several studies that have concluded the same.

1. Video games? Movies? Music? Gay marriage? Mental Illness?

On and on and on they go...but the reality is this...

9 Dead, 27 Injured, 30 SECONDS
Police respond IMMEDIATELY and it was 30 seconds until he was down...
Read that again and let it sink in real good.

9 Dead, 27 Injured, 30 SECONDS
Semi-automatic rifles.
Drum magazines with 100 rounds per magazine.
Bullets by the thousands available for purchase.

9 Dead, 27 Injured, 30 SECONDS
This should shock people, but they are inured to it all by now...
This should shake one's soul and make them weep, but the tears are all used up.
This should be a NO FUCKING BRAIN regulation, passing UNANIMOUSLY, but it won't see the floor...

9 Dead, 27 Injured, 30 SECONDS
No video game allows someone to pull that off in the real world.
No correlation has EVER been established between games and homicidal acts.

9 Dead, 27 Injured, 30 SECONDS
What has been established?
What is real?
What could NOT have happened if we had sanity restored to our laws and our politics?

Just this...
Without high capacity magazines, semi-automatic rifles built to kill humans and the encouragement of racists in the highest offices of the land, then 9 Dead, 27 Injured, 30 SECONDS COULD NOT HAVE POSSIBLY HAPPENED!!!!

End the nonsense.
Stop the bullshit.
Amend the laws and require the following:

1) NO weapon with high caliber ammunition shall have more than 10 rounds per clip, or the manufacturer will be civilly liable for the deaths of any person killed with their products.
2) NO gun owner may purchase ammunition without first showing proof of ID (including picture ID, Passport or Driver's License)
3) NO gun owner may possess their firearm without insurance for the community that their weapon will NOT be used in the commission of a mass shooting (if it IS used, the owner is liable for all damages to the point of bankruptcy, loss of all assets (including homes, cars, jewels and everything in-between.
4) Owning a gun requires re-registration with the state of license issue at minimum once every 5 years.
5) Possession of illegal firearms is a felony and the offender is permanently banned from voting ever again in the United States of America
