By chance I woke up this morning shortly after 6, and the DVR was on WPIX in NYC. PIX News Closeup was on, and who was on the panel discussing gun control but Alex from NJ2AS.  After watching several minutes I finally turned it off (but recorded it to watch later). Watching even that little got me so riled up I couldn't go back to sleep. There were two female 'doctors' on the show (psychiatrists I believe), one of them from some 'gun violence prevention' group in NY state. You can guess how the conversation went. I haven't watched the whole show yet, but in the portion I did see Alex held his own despite being constantly interrupted and talked over by the two women.

 

But that's not why I started this thread. Since I've been at my desk this morning I stumbled on the article below that I thought really nails the propaganda techniques being used by the left and the gun control crowd. The article is primarily about the first amendment, but you will see immediately how the same techniques are applied in the gun control discussion, and in the mass media attempt to move the herd left. I've never seen this woman's writings at The Federalist before, but this should be mandatory reading. A large portion of the techniques described were used in the PIX show by the two doctors. Unconsciously, or deliberately? That would be the real question for them.

 

In addition, the article contains links to a host of other readings, and the ones I read so far were very enlightening.

 

To win the argument on gun control in the long run, I think we're going to have to 'enlighten' a lot of people on how they're being entirely misdirected and faked out, not just misinformed on our particular topic.

 

See what you think.

Edit: I'm adding the latest article on this topic. Some suggestions you may find useful.

Good read

Interesting write up....

Good read. 

Those are a couple of really good articles that should be required reading among conservatives.
