Salon: Santa Barbara Shooting Victim's Father 'Should Scare the S#*+ out of the NRA'
Breitbart's California ^ | May 29, 2014 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 05/29/2014 11:20:05 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

On May 29, Salon magazine published a profile piece on Richard Martinez, father of Christopher Michael-Martinez, asserting that the elder Martinez "should scare the s#*+ out of the NRA."

Martinez's son was among the three persons Elliot Rodger shot to death on May 23, after savagely stabbing three persons to death earlier in the evening.

On May 24, Martinez blamed his son's death on "craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA." And according to Salon, the NRA has "finally" met its match and "Martinez should have them shaking" because he offers "a direct rebuttal to the LaPierres and Palins in this country."

(Never mind that Salon offers a perfect example of everything that is wrong with politicizing tragedy, and even Mr. Martinez's agony.)

Salon says Mr. Martinez understands what is at stake, just like "Sybrina Fulton--the mother of Trayvon Martin." And they warn that the gun rights supporters will try to destroy Mr. Martinez before he can accomplish the mission he is on: "The pro-gun crowd is going to come out hard against him, just as they have turned on other parents and survivors."(continued)

The first thing the left thinks of; "Kill the messenger".

Yeah, he’s just soooo scary and macho. He can’t scare anybody. He just annoys people with nonsensical, politically charged accusations.

Sad that he will politicize his son’s death due to political affiliations and misguided thoughts. He’s no saner than the perp who did the killing. I pray God touches him and gives him some comfort.

He sees this as a springboard to local or even national politics. Despicable, but it worked for Carolyn McCarthy.

The NRA will do just fine. It’s the Bill of Rights I’m worried about. This moron is out to destroy our freedom. But hey! He’ll probably get rich doing it! He’s already been moved up to celebrity status. His bank account will be the next thing on the move.

They’re pushing for someone to “do something” about those damn people who keep resisting the benevolent left.

But, just like their delegation of their responsibility for charity to the government, they think that the State can do their dirty work for them, and that they can just “enjoy” the aftermath.

Ain’t gonna happen that way.

Salon: Are you going after BMW because he killed with his car, too? Going after cutlery makers, too?

“...you may want to protect your anonymity by turning any locating tools off.”

Real question: How do I do that? I would like to visit lefty sites to find out what the enemy is being taught to think, but I fear getting a hostile virus in my PC. I hear that Muzzie websites are notorious for that.

This Martinez was antigun long before what happened to his son. His public histrionics came much too soon.

The Left thinks that we are like them. We're not. The Left leads their duped followers around by the nose and gets them to change their opinions on a dime.

We're thinkers, who've come to our own conclusions about gun ownership and self-defense. Attacking the NRA is not going to change anyone's opinion.

I guess they're trying to get the NRA to shut up or back down or something. It ain't gonna work.

Good thinking! They’ll just accept you as another drinker at that StarWars Bar Scene, where everybody looks bizarre.

All of this hatred of the NRA is so pointless. The NRA didn’t create more than a hundred million people who believe in the 2nd Amendment….it is the other way around.

The childish liberal can’t understand that.
