Back on September 11th, 2001 our eyes were opened to a very real threat that was right in front of our faces but we chose to ignore with our neglect. After watching the smoke rising up from the World Trade Center and all of the horror that followed it was clear that something was wrong with our national defense. It just wasn't designed to protect us from attackers from within. When Bush stood on the pile of rubble surrounded by first responders he decided he would not let anything stop him from exacting vengeance against the perps who caused that disaster. I believe that this latest tragedy is the same thing to Obama.
Months ago I said that Obama would try to push gun control in his second term. He already has a huge pile of regulations waiting to be put into action. He had directed Cass Sunstein, his regulation czar, to write them before he went back to his cushy job at Harvard. A couple of days ago he announced that Joe Biden will head the White House search for solutions to gun violence. Good thing Uncle Joe's work is already done for him. This issue is what Fast & Furious was about. It almost makes it worthwhile in retrospect, doesn't it?
I'm already seeing reactions from Hollywood. They're beginning to edit out some of the more violent scenes in the movies that are close to their scheduled release date. Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" has been delayed until the smoke clears (no pun intended) because of the all of the gun violence the movie contains.
The media is getting into the act. Discovery has cast out gun enthusiast Ted Nugent claiming that he will never be allowed back on the station. Conservative talk-shows were in the middle of negotiations on XM radio and now talks have fallen thru. The censorship of conservative talk radio has begun.
So who is the enemy in all of this? The GOP and their special interests in the NRA included. Liberals are calling for the deaths of NRA members. Senator Dianne Feinstein was one of the first to call for new laws banning what the left calls assault weapons. Funny, Sen Feinstein has a conceal carry permit in CA herself. The calls for action against gun ownership is reaching a fever pitch. It's getting out of hand. Kind of reminds me of the reaction after 9/11.
