The slaughter of 49 innocent souls in Orlando has rekindled arguments over “gun control” and Lists, no-fly and terrorist. Much of the reporting in the main-stream media, or, as Rush calls it, the Drive-by Media has been colossally wrong – an ongoing lesson in the incuriosity of journalism today.  Most of them type for the Democrat National Committee, hence accuracy in unrewarded. Yes my “Progressive” friends . . . in spite of your rants about Fox News, you know it’s true. That said . . .

The AR-15 so vilified is not an “automatic” weapon, nor was it used in this terrorism. An “assault rifle” is any “long-gun” or rifle with a pistol grip and folding stock. It is usually small, not large caliber, and is no more lethal than any other rifle. The Democrat Party and “Progressives” are apparently aesthetically opposed but not factually or logically persuaded. Facts are so pesky.

Now, for the Lists: The NRA and every Republican Senator, even those not supported by the NRA oppose Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who can’t be confused with Einstein, and her notion of simply denying gun purchases to those posted on the lists maintained by the Federal Government. Why? Because, as Ted Kennedy, yes, Senator Kennedy found out, his name was on a no-fly list in 2004 and he was denied boarding at National Airport. This, in spite of the fact that everyone knew he was a philanderer, alcoholic but not a terrorist. It took him months to straighten out the data even though he was universally known! Today, in  2016 there is still no process to appeal your government’s mistake, or, in light of what we know of the I.R.S., intentional assaults against Conservative groups and all citizens.

Even worse, no, WORST, is that if you’re a terrorist, you are not likely to know you’re on a list until you seek a gun and are denied. Shazzam! you now know you are under surveillance, you run for the tall grass, and most important, you alert your fellow troglodyte Islamo-Nazis!

The NRA and Republican positions are mis-characterized by the DNC/Billary/Drive-By Media complex. And, as results from so many “Progressive” solutions, when they fail, many will die unnecessarily.
