Reality Check – “When it comes to the debate over mass shootings in America, why does the discussion always go toward tougher gun laws? And yet, we are not talking about the role of antidepressants and other psychiatric medication. The truth? The connection between mass shooters and these meds is stunning.” ~ Ben Swann
As someone who has been blocked illegitimately many times, this is absolutely, undoubtedly happening. Like clockwork, I have been blocked for being pro-gun shortly after every “mass shooting” in the last ten years. Followers of various pages I administer on Facebook are now over 100,000. I am now considered to be an “influencer” to them or at least to their liberal minions moderating posts. These entities blame “new moderators” making mistakes. If that’s the case, why don’t we ever hear about liberal channels and pages being targeted?
Who knows better what the purpose of The Second Amendment was and is than our Founding Fathers? Re-fresh yourself on these to help you understand even better. And to re-affirm to yourself and those who choose to debate with you, that the 2nd Amendment had nothing to do with hunting and that they meant it exactly as it is written, as protection against a potentially tyrannical government.

DetroitNews.com – Buss: The condoning of cowardice
“When I was a little kid, I used to wonder what the world would be like if good was actually bad, and bad was actually good. If right was wrong and wrong was right.
Well, now I know.
In the aftermath of the tragic Parkland shooting, moral norms that have guided our American society through evil and tragedy — even through past mass shootings — seem to have been turned upside down.
Qualities traditionally considered “good” — bravery, sacrifice, even just fulfillment of basic job duties — are apparently no longer necessary in the face of evil. Instead, some thought leaders tell us that we’re not to go too hard on those who display cowardice and fear. They justify this moral relativism by arguing that “guns are too scary” to confront in traditional ways.
Good thing our grandfathers didn’t feel that way in the face of the Nazis’ guns 70 years ago, or many of us might not be here.
Something has changed following Parkland. The overwhelming narrative has been to assign moral agency to inanimate objects: the guns. Everybody else, and the morality of their action or inaction, is somehow irrelevant.
Of the astounding failures by law enforcement leading up to and during the Florida massacre, perhaps the most egregious was that Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Scot Peterson hid outside the school while the shooter gunned down students.
Had he gone inside immediately instead of four minutes after the shooting began, he probably could have saved lives. Yet faced with this troubling information, one Parkland student David Hogg defended the inaction. And while he’s only one student, the predictably disappointing cable news media have made his point of view the defining meme for the moment.
Peterson, “just like every other police officer out there at heart — is a good person. He didn’t take action in this event, and I can’t explain why,” said Hogg, who has made frequent MSNBC appearances since the shooting. “Who wants to go down the barrel of an AR-15, even with a glock?”
Not everyone. But a police officer who’s trained to do so, and whose assigned post is under fire, should be willing to at least try.
Peterson’s rectitude has been defended by others who claim that the “good guy with a gun” couldn’t stop the bad guy with a gun, and therefore armed officers aren’t the answer to stopping school shootings. But he doesn’t get to be the “good” guy with the gun unless he had proven he was willing to actually be good. That involves going to every length to stop the shooter and protect students — his most basic duty.
Otherwise he’s just a guy with a gun.
In another instance of insanity during the CNN town hall on gun control, NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch was recounting how a rape victim had wished she had a gun on her during the assault.
The response from the crowd, which was largely Parkland students and parents? Boos! They booed the rape victim who wanted to be able to defend herself!
Is their concern that shooting a rapist might not be appropriate, or that it might be too scary to be able to actually defend oneself with a lethal weapon? I guess the better response in their mind would be to just let it happen.
So now a growing number of Americans seem comfortable with the position that courage and bravery are hard qualities to live by, and so, not expected even in an instance that cries out for them. We’re willing to give a pass to those too cowardly to stop evil, even if it comes in the form of an AR-15.
It’s a downright terrifying prospect for our future. Because no matter how hard gun control advocates want a world in which no one has guns, and no one is evil, that world will never exist. We will always need good guys — those who are actually “good” — to stop the bad.”
The Federalist – Why Did It Take Two Weeks To Discover Parkland Students’ Astroturfing?
“The response was professionalized. That’s not surprising, because this is what organization that gets results actually looks like. It’s not a bunch of magical kids in somebody’s living room.
“Can you believe these kids?” It’s been a recurring theme of the coverage of the Parkland school shooting: the remarkable effectiveness of the high school students who created a gun control organization in the wake of the massacre. In seemingly no time, the magical kids had organized events ranging from a national march to a mass school walkout, and they’d brought in a million dollars in donations from Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney.
The Miami Herald credited their success to the school’s stellar debate program. The Wall Street Journal said it was because they were born online, and organizing was instinctive.” More..
They can’t wait for the next mass shooting to push their agenda. How do you feel about the anti-gun left ready to politically pounce upon and exploit more children after this most recent shooting?
The Firearms Friendly Search Engine is different in several ways. It is not a web search engine. It ONLY searches links added at this site. This gives us the ability to control them. Members can add and manage as many links as they like that appear in the links lists. It is currently set at 500 per member, but we can always increase this if needed. We currently have a number of different link categories. If you can’t find one for your link, place it in Miscellaneous and we’ll build another. You can also send me a message if you have ideas.
