Right wing propaganda on gun violence in 3....2....1.....

"if England had more guns someone could have intervened and protected the victims"

Except propagandists don't use the word "intervene". Too many syllables.

.... you know we'll hear
"Where do they get money to buy guns but not pay rent?" ...
"Those people shouldn't be allowed to have guns" ....
"What do you expect from those people?" ...
"That's why my house is armed - because Those people are coming to rob/pillage/rape all of us" ...
"Those people don't value life anyway: ...
or the old standard I see all the time on my local news comment board: "Just thinning the herd"

Mass murders by deranged, gun-bearing young men are now so common in the U.S. that they no longer merit extended news coverage, absent some attention-grabbing element---twenty slaughtered first graders, for instance, or a Muslim terrorist angle to get the masses all hot and bothered.
