A few weeks ago, GRNC successfully helped marshal SB41 through our North Carolina legislature, eliminating a Jim Crow era discriminatory law that required citizens to go to their local Sheriff to get permission slips to purchase handguns.
For months before this, the politicians and media gaslighted citizens through an orchestrated campaign of lies about the bill, claiming all kind of things that included the complete falsehood that we were doing away with the gun control crowd’s precious background checks.
This was so often repeated and so thoroughly publicized that the lies were absorbed as something “everyone knows” by the general public that were not involved with the gun rights and freedom oriented community.
With passage of the bill, and the historic override of our gun hating governor, two things have happened:
- Gun shops statewide have seen an unprecedented uptick in handgun sales for several weeks
- The number of prohibited people trying to buy handguns has increased significantly
The simple fact is that the media gaslighting omitted the fact that SB41 simply changed our state from an obsolete paper permit system (that had significant flaws) to the NICS instant background check at time of purchase.
Felons and other prohibited people believed the gaslighting, and started showing up to try and buy guns thinking that they would no longer be subject to a background check. Sorry…. Signing the 4473 was a felony – and those acts were new crimes…
See how effective politicians and the media are at lying to the general uninformed public? Many have commented that the media must be owned by the government, but that’s not true in the US… yet..
In the United States, the government doesn’t own the media, but I think that those controlling the deep state may own the media.
The hypocracy is also remarkable. I listened to hours of legislative testimony and legislators speaking from the floor about the critical importance of “background checks” and how all chaos would break out in our state if we repealed this Jim Crow discrimination law. That came from dedicated Leftists in the Democrat party (the party that was in control in 1919 when the law was conceived and passed).
Not one of the felons that signed 4473 forms, perjured themselves, committed another felony and failed a NICS background check are likely to be prosecuted.
I looked up the records for the past 5 years (2017 to 2022) of people charged with the crime “Felon in possession of a firearm” in our state. It’s over 50,000 people arrested and charged with this felony. Less than 900 were convicted of this crime, and over 11,000 of the charges were dismissed for various reasons. This is how important stopping criminals actually is for the people running the “justice” system here. Many places with larger urban centers are worse.
It is likely that the media is owned by people that also influence the “deep state” of our government. These are effective controllers of the Federal agencies that never go away. They are lead by people that control government and have become power brokers that move between agency operatives and lobbyists, politicians and paid influencers of government. This now includes ownership of media in order to ensure longevity of power by influencing our system and the electorate. These are the people that essentially chose Biden to be president – mainly because he will do what they want him to do.
Our tax money, squandered on massive government programs plus debt that has grown to unimaginable levels lubricates this corrupt system.
There is power, personal fortune and influence at stake. Often when it comes to things like elections and legislative votes, “the fix is in” in a number of ways… This is why you saw the Democrats so stunned when President Trump was elected. They were likely gobsmacked because their “sure thing” didn’t work – spoiled by an overwhelming reaction by the American people. Techniques used in 2020 were less detectable. Not so the gaslighting campaign to cover for it.
