SAMANTHA BEE INVITES ‘BRAINWASHED’ NRA MEMBERS TO JOIN SCIENTOLOGY INSTEAD
Newsweek ^ | March 8, 2018 | Samantha Bee

Posted on 03/08/2018 3:51:55 PM PST by Bodega

"...Both of these cults are based on myths...One says that 75 million years ago an intergalactic warlord nuked billions of people..., and then there's the really crazy myth that guns have nothing to do with gun violence....".

Comedian or not, Bee's comments concerning the cult relationship between Scientology and NRA are illogical and nonsensical. Cults are a religious practice or worship, a system of beliefs and ritual connected with worship of a deity, spirit or group of deities or spirits, a great or excessive devotion or dedication to some person, idea or thing, the rites, ceremonies and practices of a religion or a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious. Scientology fits the definition of a cult. The NRA supports the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights. It has no rites, ceremonies and practices of a religion. It exists to inform us that "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Period. The idea that guns equate to civilian violence relates to a lack of knowledge that knives and blunt objects are the major weapons for humans to use to harm each other, not guns. I can find no data concerning the number of NRA members who have gunned someone down. Jan 30, 2013 - Greg Abbott wrote, "FBI: More people killed with hammers & clubs each year than rifles," and supplied a link to a Jan. ... the FBI's statistics from 2011, the most recent year available, for murders with knives (1,694), personal weapons (728, typed on Facebook as 726), blunt objects (496) and rifles (323).

Of course it’s not a myth that an unborn baby is just a mass of cells.

Why is every late night host so terrible? Bee, Kimmel, Colbert. They’re all so sanctimonious and insufferably smug. Who watches these people? Old people that fall asleep with the TV on?

I can’t take anyone seriously that titles her show ‘Full Frontal.’

Sorry, Samantha. No cee-gar.

guns have nothing to do with gun violence


“Gun Violence” is Orwellian propaganda. The term is Orwellian in two ways. It conflates violence with evil. This has been a successful ploy of the left. Violence is neutral, like gravity. It can be used for good or evil. Violence is sometimes necessary.

“Gun Violence” separates violence with guns from all other violence, as if violence with guns is somehow more evil and important than other violence. It creates a false category that is exploited politically. A victim killed with poison, or explosives, or arson, or a machete, is just as dead as a victim killed with a gun.

Legal restrictions on guns may create more victims. This can happen by limiting defensive options, or by pushing malefactors to switch to other technologies, such as automobiles, poison, explosives, or arson. If the policy does not reduce the total number of victims, it fails, even from the limited perspective of pragmatism.

The unstated assumptions of the Orwellian term “gun violence” are to separate violent acts in which guns are involved from all other violence, and that violence is always evil. Both assumptions create the basis for infringements on the Second Amendment.

What falls under “cultthink” is the notion that “posting a “gun free sign” will keep raging mad killers out of the posted area.

Bet Ms “B” fails to understand this logic.

Agreed. Given a choice between gun violence when attacked by a mugger/rapist and the violence of pure muscle (where the attacker can usually figure out in advance that he/they will win), I’ll take gun violence every time.

The key word is “rifles” most people killed with guns in the U.S. are killed with handguns.

Samatha Bee lives in a $3.7 million commune apartment in New York City’s Upper West Side. Her police state lifestyle does not apply to 99% of America. One size of government does not fit all. Any area that votes 90% crazy commie should have private gun ownership restricted.

The rebuttal I get most often from your statement is, “But guns, (usually the AR-15), sole purpose is for killing.”

She also always looks like she’s constipated. I don’t know if she has a bad back or she’s just really backed up, but it’s definitely weird.

I would explain to anyone saying that, "No, guns are to protect innocent people from mortal danger."

And then lecture them about why police carry guns, why soldiers carry guns, and how guns are used to protect people from animals, violent criminals, and armed agents of tyrannical governments.

And then if they still don't get it you can ask them if they would like you to forego saving them from violent death if necessary using a firearm. And then show them some videos made by ISIS.
