Gayle Trotter supplied fanciful scenarios to a Senate panel where she was giving testimony. Her imagineering is irrelevant to REALITY.
FOX News is using talking heads to elevate fantasy and manipulation in front of a USA Senate Panel into some kind of authority those viewing their show should respect. In doing so, the panels of the FOX talking heads bring themselves down to the level of endorsing lies and deconstruction of our democracy.
Testimony to a USA Senate Committee is suppose to be truthful to facilitate legislation that is meaningful to the country. FOX News talking head panels are uncommitted to promoting the truth and benevolence to the country. The FCC is not doing their job in protecting the American people from propaganda.
I also believe the families of the victims of Sandy Hook are above reproach in their opinions. No one should be attacking them for their points of view.
The case for regulation and a return to the assault weapons ban is based in the fact current regulation does not work. It is what gives Congress their authority in legislating for more regulation.
The laws don't work for whatever reason they don't work, including the fact violence has outpaced the ability of law enforcement. So, the idea applying the same laws over and over again, is a false sense of understanding of the reach of government control to protect citizens.
I know all the arguments, including, by not enforcing the laws has precipitated in the need for more and tighter regulation so why isn't it enforced first. It even appears as though they were not enforced on purpose so there is a return to regulation. That is nonsense. States across this nation did not open an email account to establish a conspiracy against gun ownership. The gun industry and hunting is a part of the economy of the USA. There are many reasons to hope the industry is self-regulating to protect the public, but, it fails.
The fact there is widespread inability to enforce the current laws on the books embodies all the proof necessary to realize the laws are not working. There is no reason to continue down a failed path. Fifty states are unable to enforce the laws, that is PROOF. There is no conspiracy, there is no undermining of the gun industry and they have proven to be unable to self regulate. Gun shops will sell so long as they can get a background check and evidently they sell them without or with fraudulent background checks. If the gun shops were not failing in carrying out their responsibility there would not be the need for prosecution of fraud in the first place. I can easily see gun salespersons facilitating sales regardless of fraud knowing there will be no prosecution. Why not run the fraud out of control and negate the purpose of the law at will? End of discussion.
If the gun industry cannot or will not self regulate and cannot or will not enforce background checks and crimes of fraud are committed at the time of the guns sales, then the type of guns being sold in the USA have to be regulated. There is no other choice. They can't be sold here safely.
If FOX News can't be SELF REGULATING in their content to provide nothing but propaganda then the FCC needs to act to protect the public.
The potency of the power of the FOX News propaganda was evident in the Senate hearing on Benghazi when Secretary Clinton was asked questions TRACEABLE back to FOX and BECK. Now, what is it going to take to have the FCC realize how bizarre the propaganda has become to dictate, THROUGH POLITICAL power in the electorate, completely irrelevant questions as is reflected in Senate hearings? That is corruption and abuse of our freedom and dilution of our democracy. The FCC has a responsibility to the people of this nation. It is not suppose to be a free for all in the media. We aren't Cold War Russia being forced to live with mind speak and lies!
