California – -(Ammoland.com)-  Some people still believe gun-prohibition works. That fading idea is like a sick old man on life support. It takes more and more effort simply to keep that fading fantasy alive.
They try. These anti-rights lobbyists pump out a heartbeat of press releases paid for with a billionaire’s money. Yes, I mean Bloomberg, as well as the Joyce, Tides and Heinz foundations.
Here is an example. The murders at the Charleston, South Carolina church were in a gun free zone. The billionaires who wants you disarmed said we need more background checks.. while admitting the murderer passed his firearms owner background check.
Well, duhh.
A crazed gunman attacked a Dallas, Texas police station. The Bloomberg groups blamed a new law allowing open carry of firearms.  They forgot to mention that the open carry law does not go into effect until next year.
Oops.
Judging these examples, it isn’t easy selling media spin.. even if you have millions of dollars to generate press releases.  I couldn’t do it.
The dying idea of gun-prohibition has given us failure after failure. Each failure demands a successively larger media campaign to keep the gun-prohibition fantasy alive. It becomes harder and harder to sell gun-prohibition to anyone except the liberal medial. The media spin would be funny except for the number of disarmed victims.
Look for the media to parrot the press release after the next attack in a gun free zone.*
The idea of gun-prohibition is fading fast. The number of concealed carry permits in the US more than doubled since President Obama was elected. Last year the number of permits grew by a record 15%. The murder rate fell by 25 percent during that same period showing that honest gun owners don’t cause crime. Today, the national average is that one out of 19 adults has a permit to carry, and in five states the licensed carry rate is more than one in ten adults.
The average gun owner looks like the average American. Since 2007, permits for women have increased by 270% while permits have only grown by 156% for men. Evidence suggests that permit holding by minorities is increasing more than twice as fast as for whites.
Bloomberg will have to pump a few more millions into the dead idea of gun-prohibition.
Good riddance to blood money!
*I originally thought I’d hold this article, but then MDA gave me the quote I wanted. Â The murderer in Louisiana was a drifter with a long criminal history.. who got a gun anyway. Â MDA said we need more gun control. Â (head desk)

When did Ammoland turn into Stormfront and allow vicious anti-semitic cartoons and comments?
The only time the liberal biased media,the Obama controlled media,really double downs on gun control is when the shooter is white. Like SC and La. If the shooter is black or a Muslim Islamic terrorist the media will downplay it,blame it on whites,and are reluctant to report it at all. But they have a field day when the shooter is white. Racism is alive and well in the U.S.,but it’s the liberals/media,blacks,and Obama who are the racists. Whites have had it with this bullshit too,and it will come to a head soon. If it was up to blacks and what… Read more »
What’s keeping the “Anti-Gun Dream” alive is a media that groups gun owners with social pariahs like the latest shooters in South Carolina and Louisiana.
Gun-grabbers are complete morons that think their liberal,tyrannical agenda is more important than the U.S. Constitution. Not only are their efforts to deprive law-abiding Americans of their 2A freedoms losing,it failed a long time ago. The traitors like Obama,Bloomberg,Shannon Watts (the Bloomberg minion),Feinstein,etc,..etc.,,are just too stupid to realize that fact. With all their lies,fabricated statistics,,etc….it just makes the pro 2A,pro-gun lobby stronger by the day because Americans are sick and tired of being lied to by this gutter trash !
Bloomberg would be so much happier back in Israel. I know that ‘real Americans’ would be happier with the Bloomberg Jew back in Israel. These damn dual passports need to end as far a Jews go. Disarming through tyranny. On one hand you have an African born Muslim,socialist, racist from Kenya,and on the other all these damn Jews with dual citizenship in the U.S. trying to destroy the U.S. constitution. These damn dual citizenship Jews have no rights or say about nothing concerning the 2A or anything else concerning the U.S.
Japan and Australia?
