Plaxico is trying to get a job in the NFL. The NFL is very anti-gun.

People who are out shooting on weekends aren't in the stadiums or at home watching the NFL games, bad for them.

And if they wear hats or t-shirts from sporting goods manufacturers instead of the local NFL franchise, that's VERY bad for the NFL and their merchandising reps.

NUL's Campaign to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) Mission:

According to CSGV, its mission is to secure freedom from gun violence through research, strategic engagement and effective policy advocacy.

The organization has five areas of focus, regarding issues and campaigns:

1) Guns, Democracy and Freedom: CSGV is opposed to the "insurrectionist philosophy" which the group attributes to the National Rifle Association (NRA). The coalition contends the right "to take whatever measures necessary, including force, to abolish oppressive government” is, in fact, a plot to oppose to any stronger, activist government and degrades the institutions that protect other freedoms. Ladd Everitt has called for the arrest of all Second Amendment activists, and has called for them to be prosecuted for treason. He also supports a secret watchlist, to be made and held by the government, of persons banned from gun ownership or self defense.

2) Microstamping: CSGV supports, on state and federal levels, research relating to, and the implementation of firearm microstamping, an emerging ballistic identification technology which purports to allow law enforcement to trace the serial number of a firearm from ejected cartridge case(s) recovered at a crime scene.

3) Gun Show Loophole: CSGV believes that the ability of private individuals to engage in private firearms transactions without requirement for background checks constitutes a 'loophole' in the law, and is working to change this.

4) Opposition to Concealed Carry: CSGV highlights problems with the current system for providing permits to carry a concealed loaded weapon in public. Federal Legislation: Through federal legislation, CSGV supports repealing the Tiahrt Amendment, renewing the Assault Weapons Ban, closing the "gun show loophole", and prohibiting individuals who are on any government watch list from purchasing firearms.

Quickly rehabbing his public image with a partnership like this is a page taken directly out of the Michael Vick playbook. So is the news Monday that Tony Dungy will serve as a mentor to Vick.

Well, we'll see how that works out....

“Burress, who no longer owns a firearm.”

Because he is a CONVICTED FELON.

I know that. If he really wanted to have one (or two), he could. How many convicted felons are subsequently charged with armed robbery?

I’m sure this Plastico Burresse schlub has no problem hiring armed security for himself, his family and his house(s).

That was always a great line. But Mrs. Liddy passed a way a couple of years ago. Wonder what the G-Man is doing about that now?

Gotta kiss that PC liberal butt if he wants to get back in the game.

And gettin' back means gettin' rich, so he will kiss all the butt he needs to kiss.

I moved, life changed and I have not heard G. Gordon Liddy, in a few years....I am truly sorry for his loss.

Lately we have had our own losses.........I am sorry.

I’m sure he’s the only one in this room who’s qualified to handle a firearm.
