"Blame the Straw Man"

If you can’t do your job, just blame somebody else who had nothing to do with your failure for that failure. Which is what Houston’s top cop is doing after a KNOWN CRIMINAL who cannot legally get a gun under any circumstances kills a cop when he blames the NRA for it, rather than lousy policing, and useless anti-gun laws. What kind of twisted logic is responsible for that, I cannot fathom. The NRA simply stands up for the Constitutional right of law abiding citizens to be armed, to be able to defend themselves against such criminals, not for the right of such criminals to be armed when they do their dirty work. How that translates into “blame” for a KNOWN CRIMINAL committing murder with an ILLEGAL gun is beyond me. Of course, incompetent people need “straw men” to blame for their failures. Otherwise, intelligent people will “get wise” to their incompetence. This “top cop” needs to be replaced immediately, with someone who actually knows how to do the job, and not make excuses for failure. Unfortunately, there are far too many such incompetents “enforcing” our laws, and even MAKING them. They all need to be replaced with competent people. (Breitbart)
