It detailed how the prohibitive gun laws in California and especially San Francisco made trafficking in stolen and\/or illegal guns a very lucrative business. That comes as no surprise to anyone who reads this blog or has any knowledge of the Prohibition Era.<\/p>\n<p>The story contained this gem. Let&#8217;s dissect it to see what&#8217;s wrong with it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Roger contacted NBC Bay Area following a joint investigation with <b>the non-profit journalism organization The Trace<\/b>, which found more than 20,000 guns across the country that were previously reported stolen were later recovered by police in connection to crimes.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Stolen guns used in crime? That makes sense as guns are stolen to be sold or traded to other criminals who are probably already prohibited persons. Guns are a tool of the trade for armed robbers and home invaders and they will do what is necessary to obtain them.<\/p>\n<p>Roger? Nope that was just the fake name used by the criminal for the story. He&#8217;s now in a witness protection program.<\/p>\n<p>The non-profit journalism organization The Trace? Ah, there&#8217;s the problem with the statement. While its tax status is irrelevant, calling The Trace a &#8220;journalism organization&#8221; is one hell of a whopper.&nbsp; It is the Bloomberg-funded media propaganda arm that masquerades as journalism.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/06\/16\/the-trace-bloomberg-guns_n_7581446.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Funding for it also came<\/a> from the Joyce Foundation and Seattle anti-gun billionaire Nick Hanauer. Following the money always will lead you to the truth.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I read a story this morning from the local NBC station in San Francisco.
