HEARTLAND WHISPERING

This is a tactic often deployed by the higher-toned rightwing commentators, where it is solemnly explained that the left’s hopeless confinement to coastal enclaves means they don’t really know what’s at stake in real America. Any criticism of guns thereby becomes an attack on the communities where guns are owned.

A past master of this tactic is National Review’s David French. On Wednesday, he made the argument that, despite the NRA’s organizing and funding opposition to gun control, gun laws remain as they are because of the heartland’s adherence to American values.
