PBS Airs Anti-NRA Special: ‘Gunned Down: The Power of the NRA’
newsbusters.org ^ | 1/7/2015 | Jeffrey Meyer

On Tuesday night, PBS aired its latest Frontline documentary aimed at attacking the NRA entitled "Gunned Down: The Power of the NRA." On multiple occasions, the program did its best to promote the activities of anti-gun activists while discrediting the efforts of the NRA to protect the Second Amendment.

I'm sure you could catch a re-run just to see where your tax dollars are going. Maybe tied in with the golden oldies collection fund raiser. Even sadder is the fact that the 2nd amendment needs defended. That's how far down the rabbit hole we've gone. Thank you elitist IPOS.

What is public about this piece of crap, anti-constitutional, subversion network?

In a normal, non-corrupt, government the station would be shut down, the people who produced and aired this fired and charged with crime and we’d all laugh.

This ‘nation’ is getting weaker by the damn hour.

Usually pbs stations do a rerun in the early morning within a week. Also may get free streaming for thirty days at pbs website

I just sent a small donation to the NRA-Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) a few days ago. This war has been expensive and it looks like the front lines have changed.

LOL. And it isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference to public opinion. Public opinion has moved strongly in favor of gun rights over the past decade despite the Libs attempts to move it in the other direction. They cry about it and produce useless propaganda like this PBS show, and it doesn’t work. This is one of the rare areas where conservatives are winning the battle against Liberal totalitarianism.

PBS folks hate it when surveys of viewers are made.
No one is watching their crap...

A few of us had a saying when I was in public TV land. If we do it, who will notice?

I don’t miss the plantation on George Rogers Blvd. Some of the people and technical work I kind of do.

I watched it.
What they consistently ignored is that all the shooters the highlighted had m3ental issue and there are already laws against them owning guns.
Laws that the NRA agrees with.

True. People who defame Constitutional principles or seek to subvert the Constitution ought to be arrested — as they used to be. Every station that aired that “documentary” is guilty of treason.

We need to remember this and make sure to call for the FCC to pull their licenses after 2016 — when conservatives will control all three branches of government and will be able to restore the republic.

That picture sums up in a nutshell why the left hates our founding fathers. Because all it says is true. I have no doubt that they would all be NRA life members. Hell, the NRA board would have George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on it.

I also love how these type of shows all tout how there have been surveys done of NRA members that show they don’t like the “extreme actions” of the NRA leadership on this issue or that. Since the NRA does not release it’s membership list to anyone, exactly how are outside independent groups having a survey of NRA members?

If you sent a donation to NRA-ILA you must be one of those rich republicans cited in the hit piece.
Don’t you know that we are supposed to roll over and play dead for these proggs?

Here’s the problem:

“De Blasio boots judge known to be tough on criminals”

Nobody wants to blame the criminals.
They’d rather blame the gun.

Not at all. We all have our favorite charitable issues. This one is mine.

They just can’t help themselves. They have spent their entire lives smelling unicorn farts, so their brains just don’t function in the real world.

Wonder how many of their examples broke multiple laws not including firearm laws in order to commit their act.
