One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation. – Thomas B. Reed (1886)

Now…if the poor kid had been shot the headline would have SCREAMED “Gunman Shoots 9 year-old in her home” and the emotionally charged word “gunman” would have been used at least three time in the first couple of sentences. But since the scum used a knife he’s merely an intruder.
Clutching these 90% polls in a kind of death-grip, the media spent day after day pushing President Obama and DC lawmakers to “cede to the will of the people!” Then the bill failed; then the media recriminations began, led mainly by CNN’s Piers Morgan and MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.
Even in the wake of the most devastating terror attack on American soil since 2001, the shameless media still refused to shut up about guns. It was obvious their egos were bruised. So if it wasn’t the outright demoagoguery coming from Morgan and Scarborough, it was shameless concern-trolling where the media claimed the GOP had committed electoral suicide with their choice to ignore the ninety-percent.
Doom!
Gloom!
The end is nigh!
Except it’s not.
A poll released by none other than the Washington Post Wednesday is likely to finally put a stake in the heart of The Media Issue That Will Not Die.
According to the poll, only 47% of Americana are as angry or disappointed as the corrupt media. On the flip-side, 39% are happy the bill failed, 10% were “none/other,” and 3% had no opinion.
The poll not only blows a fatal hole in the lying media’s 90% Nonsense-Narrative; it also helps to explain why Piers Morgan is no longer bragging about his ratings.

Hypocrisy.
Alcohol related deaths surpass firearm related deaths by a vast margin every year. The daily toll from alcohol-impaired driving is just a small part of the story. Add to that the thousands that die every year of alcohol addiction related heath problems. And add those that are killed or injured from alcohol fueled violent attacks and the number climbs substantially.
Screw the gun ban. It’s time to ban beer! Oh, wait…we already did that once.
If nothing else…boycott Anheuser-Busch products. Let Aldolphus 4 answer to InBev.
The idiocy continues:
