"Common sense"

I've been noticing that in a lot of MSM articles lately, they spell "common sense" as a compound word, "commonsense".

Every time I read the word "commonsense", it screams of Newspeak a la Orwell. Drives me nuts.. doubleplusbad.

****Unfortuately, the MSM has been VERY successful in spoon feeding their liberal agenda, anti 2a position for some time now. Every crazy guy (preferably white) that goes out and shoots people, or barricades himself, takes hostages, etc.. is national news now. You RARELY ever hear of citizens defending themselves with firearms from criminals in the regular national media - it doesn't fit their agenda. Never mind that violent crime, including crimes committed with firearms have been on the decline since the early 1990's and that crime committed with "assault style weapons" is almost NEVER done. Doesn't fit the agenda..

Barack Obama's hometown of Chicago had 500 murders last year, and has the strictest gun control laws in the nation - it should be a socialist utopia free of crime and poverty yet it is a disaster area of absent fatherhood, violent crime, drug use, and very low literacy rates amongst its students/and high dropout rates. The only folks that have guns in Chicago are criminals yet the media rarely ever discusses why a city with a ban on handgun ownership is the murder capital of the country....

So ya, "common sense" is a liberal term that been successfully used by liberals and their lackeys in the media to really paint legal gun owners exercising their constitutional right as well as universal right to defend themselves as a bunch of right wing kooks who want to take "law" into their own hands rather than let the professionals in law enforcement protect them using (wait for it....) firearms...

This is all very disgusting to me and I am shocked at how quickly our side has been marginalized to where even pointing out facts regarding violence, gun control and the role of the NRA in firearm safety. Our side just gets shouted down by the professional left (the media), and an increasing number of average left leaning folks that don't think critically about the issue but "feel" something has to be done about those killer assault rifles, cop killer bullets, gun show loopholes, and criminals not being literate enough to read the "gun free zone" signs on the schools due to a failure of schools to teach them to read (so they stay shooting each other in the **shhhhh*** Black and Latino neighborhoods...)

You do know that Common Sense is something that has been argued in favor of for a long, long time......

It is no less relevant today.
