    It is not a lie, if you repeat it often enough. [more sarcasm]

      Joseph Goebbles: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

        In many cases, you don't even need to make it big enough nor repeat it. If the receiver wants to believe, they will believe. This has been conditioned by other messages. I cite the "Hands up, don't shoot" which took off immediately after the Ferguson shooting, and the "Can't breathe" meme from NYC. One was blatantly false, the other a misrepresentation of actual cause of death. In neither case do the facts or reality matter. Those who are receptive to the message took next to nothing to adopt it - they wanted to believe.

    i read only the first paragraph and that was all i needed to read. when he is faced with a need of the police and doesn't have a gun and finds that the police are nowhere to be seen/found/etc. he may change his mind.
    hooray for the american people who believe in gun rights.

    So Lupica is following in the steps of Costas. Both are supposed to be sportscasters or sports writers, but they keep interjecting politics into the discussion. If you want to write or spout about politics, become a political writer. I do not want to hear about politics while watching a football or basketball game. Wait, does anybody watch a basketball game anymore? I sure don't unless it is March Madness and my college team is in it. Anyway, they need to stick to their specialty and quit using their notoriety for a political cause that we don't want to hear.

    If they cared about the truth and protection of rights, they'd be on the other side of the issue.

    Gun control is all about control. An armed populace still believes they have the right to self-government AND they have the will and means to defend that right. Take those guns away and self-government takes a major hit. See Europe.

    I thought Lupica is supposed to be a sports writer. I am very weary of my sports being diluted with politics. And there are many shooting sports he can report on for his column.

      They are so "above" the notion of protecting ones self. Fox news had the video of the Alabama family holding at gunpoint the people that had stolen their Christmas gifts. I suppose in a gun free society we would just let that go, file an insurance claim, then replace our stuff. In a Progressive economy, the thief becomes the initiator of productivity, a vital part of the economy.

        That story was in my Yellowhammer email yesterday. The yellowhammer woodpecker is Alabama's state bird. That photo of the family making a citizen's arrest screams FREEDOM all over it. Just try to do that and wait for the cops in a Marxist USA state. Proud to be where I live.

          Awesome. Unfortunately, some scumbag lawyer will likely get with the thieves and convince them to sue the citizens who made the arrest for mental anguish. Screwed up society (and legal system) that we have.

            That could happen.
            As a corrections officer I was sued by 5 or 6 state inmates over 21 years. Never had to appear. All were tossed as frivolous.
            Previous to the to tosses, I had to explain myself in writing though.
            Maybe each time. Can't quite recall I retired 10 years ago.
