RedState reports that authorities have released information on the weapons involved in this week’s horrific murders in Uvalde (Texas) of 19 children, and 2 adults. Daniel Defense, the manufacturer of one of the weapons used in the Uvalde shooting rampage was among those facts.
It is thought that the shooter purchased at least two AR-15s. The other was an expensive Daniel Defense model, which typically costs well over $2,000 The receipt he posted on social media stated that he had paid $1870, and tax was $2,024.28.
As my colleague Nick Arama noted, the private sector has come under scrutiny from media this week. He also wrote about an exchange that took place between Karine Jean-Pierre (White House Press Secretary) and a reporter at The New York Times.
Now, it’s NBC News’ turn, apparently. Earlier this week, “[a] Daniel Defense spokesman told NBC News that the company has decided to skip the NRA event in Houston “due to the horrifying tragedy in Uvalde, Texas where one of our products was criminally misused.”
What thanks can they give for their repentance, their willingness to bend a knee here and there?
A hit piece published Thursday, with the headline: “Maker of rifle used by Texas gunman draws fury for ‘incendiary’ ads.” I’ll return to the headline later, but here are just a few of the things the publication attacked them on. The publication’s cutting-edge advertisements.
This ad was provocative advertising that helped Georgia’s gun manufacturer become the nation’s largest privately-owned firearms producer.
The left gets a “twofer” here: not only do they get to demonize a gun company (who they see as evil and making blood money from mass shootings — in Daniel Defense’s case, at least two mass shootings. NBC News reported that a Daniel Defense weapon was discovered during an investigation into the Vegas Route 91 Harvest massacre. They also have the opportunity to promote their socialist narrative of capitalism’s success as totally evil. The unbiased “experts” here? A Gabby Giffords gungrabbers activist and anti-gun author.
“In an industry with 500 companies all making the same products, you have to get ahead somehow,” said Ryan Busse, a former firearms executive and author of the book “Gunfight: My Battle Against the Industry that Radicalized America.”
Busse said the “incendiary marketing” pushed by Daniel Defense founder Marty Daniel has long broken norms in the industry.
“This is how he has grown his business by being on the edge and wrapping this holy roller thing around it,” added Busse, who is a senior adviser for the gun violence prevention group Giffords.
A legal business isn’t able to make money. You shouldn’tIt could be controversial. NBC News also includes a previously quoted quote from Mr. Daniel regarding the fact mass shootings have a tendency increase gun and ammo sales. You’ll find more like this (and from actual experts) in my colleague Jeff Charles’ new VIP piece. Leftist media and friends ignore the real reason for this, which Daniel Defense’s owner explained.
“The mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012 drove a lot of sales,” Daniel said in a 2017 interview with Forbes. “That was a horrible event and we don’t use those kinds of terrible things to drive sales, but when people see politicians start talking about gun control, they have this fear and they go out and buy guns.”
It doesn’t matter what gun manufacturer’s owner had to say. The base is furious at the wrong person and they only publish it. The actions of monsters that inflict havoc upon other humans are not the responsibility of this man or his product. That is who the shooter is. Marty Daniel ought to be free and unassisted in expressing a political opinion, without fear of being despised.
But the larger problem here is that the owner or his company’s PR department decided to skip out on business opportunities and potential sales revenue at the NRA event out of fear of media reprisal. This case shows that it didn’t help them. The media still had to punish them. The lesson: Never give the left an inch – ever.
Let’s consider that headline for a moment and how grotesque it is: “Maker of rifle used by Texas gunman draws fury for ‘incendiary’ ads.” Twenty-one people are dead. After they awoke, the victims left their family members and went to school or work, but never came back. But to the left and the media (but I repeat myself), that isn’t the thing making them furious — a company’s advertizing is. You can find all the information you need about their objectives here.
