Gun owners and opponents should share interest in Target ‘gun' case

"I don't think someone would accidentally drop off a gun. I think he purposely left it there for a child to pick up and think, 'Oh it's a toy gun,' and accidentally point it at somebody and it goes off," shopper Kennedy McClain offered.

Thus story is worthy of rotation in the national media. But it is a plant by anti gunners and as such none of the networks -Fixed News included - will put it in rotation. It simply doesn't fit the anti gun agenda and indeed makes it look really really DESPERATE.

Yep, this was a setup all the way. Not hard to understand when you recall some of the first words coming from the WH after B0-Zo's first day of transforming our nation into a ghetto: "The end justifies the means."

There is no way that the placement of this firearm was not on video tape. Every square inch of a Target store, except a bathroom and changing room, is surveillance. Target needs to release this footage.

Instead of "shoplifting", "shopdropping":

Is someone attempting to create a grisly "situation" or "spectacle" similar to spiking Tylenol with Cyanide and placing it on a store shelf to poison an unwitting consumer?

Chris - Yup. A big box retail store is going to have more cameras than employees on the floor. But - we'll see if they release the video...

Liability issues. A guy got beaten on the parking lot of a Walmart, and the store refused to release the video. The cops might have to get a warrant, and even then - 'Well, that camera was down blah blah". If it was an employee that planted that pistol, then the video will never see the light of day. Forget doing the right thing - Target doesn't want to get sued into oblivion. They have plenty to deal with after that recent epic data breach.

The sound you hear in the background is Big Tobacco laughing their asses off, because now it's someone else's turn.

Oh, and unintended consequences.

I see three options:

a plant by anti-gunner

a plant by a pro-gunner

a plant by a employee of Target looking for attention

In either case I believe the investigation and disclosure are being covered up. If it was a anti-gun renegade Bloomberg's minions could be influencing the press as I believe they did in Sandy Hook.
