(18,318 posts)MSM and anti-gun politicians are in a quandry. Part of their mantra talking points is "more guns = more crime" (demonstrably untrue, but that is another matter). So, everytime/anytime MSM starts chanting that mantra, and calling for bans, they some how expect a groundswell to start which ends in a prohibition-type law against the gun de jure to majically come about and calm the masses. Trouble is, what really happens is the sales of so-called "assalt weapons" (semi-auto rifles) go through the roof; lines form around the block to get into gun shows, hand-truck purchases of ammunition empty big boxes, concealed permit applications slow mainframes, more smash-mouth pro-gun legislation, Hollywood prounouncements from (I got MINE) gun-control elites, huge profits for firearms manufacturers -- the usual littany of counter-productivity. So why does MSM keep doing what it is doing which ends in More guns? Some don't call it stupidity. Some call it insanity.
