The Daily Sheeple – by Joshua Krause
Shortly after the San Bernardino shooting, the New York Times made a big deal out of posting an editorial on the front page for the first time in nearly a hundred years. The article was a scathing condemnation of our nation’s gun laws, as well as America’s gun culture. However, their impassioned plea for more gun legislation hasn’t had its intended effect.
For 20 years the New York Times has periodically surveyed their readers, asking them if they would support an assault weapons ban. For the first time since 1995, a majority of their readers opposed the ban. In January of 1995, 67% of readers supported the ban, and 27% opposed. By 2011 there was a slight shift, with 63% in favor and 34% opposed. By 2015 there was a dramatic change with only 44% in favor of a ban, and 50% opposed.
The numbers suggest that support for the ban is falling even faster than its opposition is rising, with 19% less support than in 2011, and 16% more in opposition. The gun control crowd should be deeply concerned. If a majority of the readers for a dying, left leaning, pro-government rag no longer support more heavy handed gun regulations, then clearly the gun grabbers are losing the battle for the hearts and minds of America.

Good news.
And the NY Slimes is still working their gun-grab propaganda angle, and maybe that’s why they’re bankrupt, and going out of business (or operating at a loss, just to retain whatever influence they still have)
We WON the propaganda war, you lying, Zionist piece of shite.
Who’s the “crazy conspiracy theorist” now, you BS-shoveling, treasonous organization of Jewish subversives?
Why the F%*& can no one call them as they are, and not as the MSM or “Powers That Shouldn’t Be” call them? They are machine guns.
For Christ’s sake, ANYTHING can be an assault weapon. A teaspoon, used aggressively, is an assault weapon. Holy shit, throw your baby at somebody, that baby is now an ASSAULT WEAPON!! Ban all babies?????
We, as a people, are getting so stupid, perhaps our demise is to be recommended.
This is surprising news. I wonder if more people are seeing the writing on the wall and waking up to the importance of effective weaponry in civilian hands? Or maybe I’m being overly optimistic.
