Instead of fear and paranoia, its more like reality and self preservation. There is more misinformation on pmsnbc than is ever on the radio!
Let me explain what I mean about "Fear and paranoia." (F&P) I don't listen to MSNBC or Limpballs. I never really was a serious listener but I do know the gist of what radical media is about. I can tell you America has changed since the media has taken hold. Guns have always been available and no serious government threat has taken place. When BO took office the radical media saw opportunity. They created an enemy and a person to vent their frustrations on.
Having been born and lived in Chicago I know where BO makes his home. It's not uncommon to here gunfire so I can understand why BO might want to affect gun availability. I also know from the last four years he knows a lost cause and any major change in gun law is exactly that. There might be some minor regulation passed dealing with gun shows or large clips but nothing radical. Like I said. lost cause.
The mass media now can report something like a child abduction on the east coast and the entire country will know in minutes. I see parents not letting their kids out w/o them hovering near by. When was the last time you saw a kid riding a bike by themselves. Are these fears rational? NO, because they aren't based in experience but in a media driven account that might be 3000 miles away and says "Be afraid." I haven't found the world to be like that. I know there is a level of danger somewhere, sometimes but it's not my normal world.
So where does the "Fear and paranoia" come from? The media fuels it for ratings and bucks. Limpballs has made his mark by preaching F&P and has for years. So have others. There are web sites that deal with truth in broadcasting and one can find out who lies if they care. Well, they do lie but no one seems to want to know that.
I'm not afraid of anyone taking my guns or preventing me from buying others. What can change this in America, is the public reaction to the F&P being sold on the radical media and the "Do Nothing" positions of the NRA. If a lie is told often enough it becomes true in the minds of those that won't bother to check it out.
Fear and paranoia is driving the gun market today and it's probably difficult for some to say they're scared.
Most of my time in the military was in SAC (Strategic Air Command) I was involved with nuclear weapon systems during the cold war. The entire war was based on F&P. The world was never safe no matter how many nukes they had. The only way our world survived was pure dumb luck. The Soviet Union ran out of money and were tired of supporting all of the satellite countries they grabbed after WW2.
Some might tell me they aren't afraid but their behavior betrays them. I'll still defend the 2nd.
