If you’re watching the news, you’re aware there was a mass shooting in West Texas yesterday that claimed the lives of at least eight people. It’s the biggest story of this Labor Day Weekend, but it does not represent the city with the most gun violence. Chicago is one death away from eclipsing the total gun violence tally from West Texas, and that’s halfway through the holiday weekend.
The reason is obvious. Mainstream media is all about highlighting a mass shooting that involved an “AR-style” weapon to promote their gun control agenda. But that narrative falls on its face when we look north to Chicago where multiple shootings will account for greater Labor Day Weekend carnage despite having the most obtuse gun control laws in the nation.
What Chicago tells us is really the same thing West Texas tells us. The problem is not with guns. The problem is with criminals, as it has been discovered suspected West Texas shooter Seth Ator had a criminal record. This is the real source of the problem, but the left is unwilling to acknowledge this reality because their goal is strictly to ban firearms for law abiding citizens even if doing so actually obstructs the public’s ability to defend itself. Chicago needs more law abiding citizens carrying firearms. Gun control is a failed experiment.
27 shot — 7 fatally — so far in Chicago Labor Day weekend shootings
At least 27 people have been shot — seven of them fatally — so far in gun violence across Chicago over the Labor Day holiday weekend.
The number of fatal shootings so far has already surpassed the total from last year’s Labor Day weekend, when four people were killed and 23 others were wounded in citywide shootings.
If gun control worked, Chicago would not have so many more shooting victims than West Texas. But you won’t hear that reported because the left’s and the media’s agenda is to scream for Republicans to “do something.” Selective reporting is a joke.
Chicago is the gun control narrative buster. It doesn’t work. It makes people less safe. Yet it won’t get headlines because the Democrats and their media lapdogs don’t want Americans to know the truth.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
