Gun violence/Media & the word "motive"OP/ED

[The Grand Nudger]

If you claim I misunderstood you fine, then clear it up.

I already told you, you didn't misunderstand me, I had nothing to do with it.  You have boogeymen dancing between your ears.  

My position is what I stated in the OP.

So we all gather.

For too long America has focused on profit, and not enough on stability. When critics of the economic right point out the flaws in their logic, we get falsely called commie or anti private sector. Guns are simply another product that a business owner makes, and like any other CEO or owner, that person will seek more of a market and more share holders. 

OFC.

When media gets stuck on motive, that allows the industry to hide behind "motive" then sell fear by making the narrative about "rights".

Lost me on that one. The industry sells guns, just a product that a business owner makes.  The NRA sells power.   Politicians sell fear about our rights, though.  Fun fact, fear of future restriction leads to increased gun sales domestically - and a higher republican turnout come voting time.....but as a market, that's just a blip for american gun manufacturers..who seek through their professional lobby (not the NRA) to create a high infrastructure safe haven (that's us, the US) for manufacturing arms for export to places where these discussions of civility and safer communities hold absolutely no weight.  

So if you are claiming I misunderstood you, then make it clear what your position is.

That politically motivated gun violence is a vanishingly small fraction of gun violence.  The idea that the "left" and the media are palpably stoking gun violence, and leftist violence.. is preposterous on those grounds alone, and that's laying aside the funhouse mirror revisionism Neo tried to fob off...which depends entirely upon people forgetting the past decades in news media and politics.  

Do you support the GOP or NRA on gun policy? If you do, then I don't agree. If you don't and you agree with me that more can be done to reduce gun violence, then allowing others to pull you into the trap of other types of violence is what I am claiming you should not fall for.

LOL< Brian, just stop.....we're not having the conversation you think we are.  Boogeymen.  

In any case..I support positions, not groups.  That's what it means to be an independent, lol.  Neither the GOP nor the NRA are incapable of getting a gun issue right.  You'd have to be more specific.
