"[Name redacted] is accused of murdering nine worshippers[sic] at the historic Emanuel AME church in Charleston, S.C. President Obama called the shootings 'senseless murders' and suggested more gun control is needed in the wake of the tragedy."
"But in this violent nation of ours, there seems to be a disconnect between our Second Amendment 'right to keep and bear arms' and the number of mass killings in this country. Americans with guns kill thousands of fellow Americans each year. And remember, the right to bear arms is not unlimited and does not prohibit all regulation of either firearms or similar devices." ... |

Our nation was 'learning' a great deal from the citizens of Charleston, SC. At least until our POTUS, the BGI and 'the usual culprits' descended upon that fair city not to share its grief, but instead manipulate its mourning to their advantage.
So, hopefully, we - as a nation - will "learn" a great many things: 1) That craven politicians, domestic terrorists, racists, opportunists and scam artists will seize upon any event they can turn to advantage. 2) Our media outlets can relied upon to never, ever report anything remotely resembling the truth. 3) America's steadfast conservative, caring, generous nature and tradition of self-reliance are under concerted assault from multiple sources.

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
