Americans win again.
Funny stuff, and in the Atlantic.
Too bad we’ve not been this strong on morality issues, the issues God is judging us for.
The NRA sure as hell isn’t winning in New Jersey!
Scorn and exaggeration is the only response Liberals know.
“In the aftermath of a gun tragedy, there isn’t anything wrong with proponents of gun control trying to persuade Americans to change their position in light of what happened.”
Why is it that idiots like this will NEVER change their position, REGARDLESS OF FACTS.
I know, why don’t we try this:
- Eliminate most laws regarding gun ownership and purchase.
- In fact, let’s allow guns to be sold through mail order.
- Let’s have most adult males that severed in the military be allowed to bring back their military weapon and keep it fully loaded and unlocked at all times.
- Let’s get rid of all metal detectors and police officers at schools.
Wait a minute - that’s the environment I grew up in the 1950’s. Since guns were even MORE available then - there must have been a school shooting every day!
Except there wasn’t.
And even though we have much more strict gun laws, police and metal detectors in schools - we still keep having such events. So if somebody actually wanted to ‘change their position in light of what happened’ they would come to realized that guns had nothing to do with it. If they did, the ‘50s would have been a blood bath.
But it is better to try to keep the focus on guns, rather than have the sheeple discover the truth. And the truth is, the more and more liberal ideas are accepted in our society, the more dangerous and hopeless our society becomes.
And that’s the REAL cause of what is happening today.
Too bad we didn’t have an NRA version for climate control or economic policies.
Is "egged on" ever used in regard to anything but a wicked act? I've never heard it used any other way. No bias here.
The NRA wasn’t involved in most of these fights. It chooses its battles carefully. What came out, not after Newtown, but after several insane people killed others, was very obvious to objective observers.
1) The left, very cynically, stated that it intended to use those tragedies to advance part of its agenda, that being gun control. They actually said this in public, and the public response was some level of disgust, but not support.
In effect it said, “We don’t care that these children were butchered. We only care about our profiting from their loss.”
2) This cynicism and lack of intellectualism was front and center as they argued for gun control. At times they blatantly lied, stated that up was down and night was day, and just expected the public to buy it. Arguing against them, the people who support gun liberty always tried to be very accurate in their facts.
3) Underlying events, such as black on white crime, absolutely hurt the gun control arguments. Even black on black crime is so random and extreme that the public wants to be able to defend itself. Hypocrites like Bloomberg, who wants to protect himself but not for other people to be protected, was the icing on the cake.
Repugnant and repulsive people are not good advocates.
The current answer to them is
“Leland Yee. San Francisco Democrat. Gun control advocate and major gun runner.”
The NRA does NOT win anything...
The “people” win, not the organization...
And at the end of the day, we still have our guns, regardless of actions taken for or against our right to keep and bear arms as WE see fit!!!
No one will get them from me...Period...
In Connecticut, gun owners published the names, addresses and phone numbers of legislators who passed the Nazi gun laws. That scared the crap put of these Nazis and commies.
That was a good and proper action by the good citizens of Connecticut. Leftists understand only threats of violence, violence and death.
Great news - maybe we should welcome the silly one-sided 'conversations' liberals have about gun control... because of the Internet our side gets heard too... Boy I'll bet that p*sses the liberals off.,...
