With the first heart-breaking headlines out of Colorado, gun-rights advocates just had to know that leftist lecturers in our media would mount their soap boxes and trash this country for its gun culture and trash the National Rifle Association as an "enabler of death -- paranoid, delusional, and as venomous as a scorpion."
But it's additionally sad that the soap box in this case is paid for by taxpayers -- in the form of taxpayer support for every PBS station that spews out this leftist loathing. On his show Moyers & Company, 78-year-old PBS omnipresence Bill Moyers reached back to America's inhumane and vicious Westward expansion, when so many blood-thirsty Americans were killed because of their ineptitude with firearms:
MOYERS: We are after all a country which began with the forced subjugation into slavery of millions of Africans and the reliance on arms against Native Americans for its Westward expansion. In truth, more settlers traveling the Oregon Trail died from accidental, self-inflicted gunshots wounds than Indian attacks - we were not only bloodthirsty but also inept.
Nonetheless, we have become so gun loving, so blasé about home-grown violence that in my lifetime alone, far more Americans have been casualties of domestic gunfire than have died in all our wars combined. In Arizona last year, just days after the Gabby Giffords shooting, sales of the weapon used in the slaughter - a 9 millimeter Glock semi-automatic pistol - doubled.
We are fooling ourselves. That the law could allow even an inflamed lunatic to easily acquire murderous weapons and not expect murderous consequences. Fooling ourselves that the Second Amendment’s guarantee of a "well-regulated militia" be construed as a God-given right to purchase and own just about any weapon of destruction you like. That's a license for murder and mayhem and it's a great fraud that has entered our history.
There's a video of which I'd like to remind you. You can see it on YouTube. In it, Adam Gadahn, an American born member of al Qaeda, the first U.S. citizen charged with treason since 1952, urges terrorists to carry out attacks on the United States. Right before your eyes he says: "America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely, without having to show an identification card. So what are you waiting for?"
The killer in Colorado waited only for an opportunity, and there you have it - the arsenal of democracy transformed into the arsenal of death and the NRA -- the NRA is the enabler of death -- paranoid, delusional, and as venomous as a scorpion. With the weak-kneed acquiescence of our politicians, the National Rifle Association has turned the Second Amendment of the Constitution into a cruel hoax, a cruel and deadly hoax.
Anyone who thinks PBS is not a left-wing propaganda system supported involuntarily (in part) by conservative Americans has never flipped the remote control past the "public" broadcasting channels. The funders of PBS are enablers of vicious anti-conservative rhetoric, even at times of great national sorrow.
And how many people have died from gun-related, domestic violence as compared to how many soldiers were killed in war? Over one million Americans soldiers have died in wars...not all from guns. I doubt Moyers's "facts" like I doubt all "facts" coming from leftists. I call Moyers a huge liar.
Some 10% died from unsanitary water. They had no idea back then that using the same water over and over again at way stations or using stagnant water caused cholera. The cure of merely boiling water was not known then. Next came accidental deaths from drownings at river crossings, wagon accidents and other injuries where infection set in. The number of accidental deaths from firearm’s would be darn small as many of these folks had fought in the War of 1812 and/or then the Civil war,and other’s had hunted since boys. Heck, this PBS station is a joke. Add Juan Williams to it’s lying crew.
I think one last gun law ought to do it. If you’re a liberal then you disqualify for a gun license.
Only his brain.
Bill Moyers: Communist Whore
Moyers is a pimple on the buttocks of mankind!
unfortunately no... still sucking at the government teat too i see
Who is this "we" of whom he speaks?
Somebody please lock up this raving fool and throw away the key.
No, but he’s well pickled.
If us dumb toothless hicks weren't justifiably concerned about some leftist demagogue trying to whip the ignorant into grabbing every gun used by a shooter, this wouldn't happen.
Still draggin out that ole slavery bit huh? Get the eff over it already!
See tagline.
“Isn’t moyers dead?”
From the neck up...yes.
Moyers has been slurping from the public trough for decades, while no doubt having private security and living in “safe neighborhoods”
He is the Poster Boy for why PBS should not just be defunded, but disbanded.
Bill Moyers: Christian Atheist
If Moyers is saved, he will suffer great loss. But he has every indicator of being a reprobate, rejected, twice dead (Jude 12). He may have been a cultural "christian". There are many such unregenerate in positions of authority in churches, who deceive and lead astray.
Jesus is not pleased in either case:
(Jesus speaking) It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. (Luke 17:2)
But I am sure Moyers would call me an unenlightened fundy, another indicator (1 John 5:1), and my use of scripture a substitute for reason thus showing his rejection of the witness of God (1 John 5:9-12)
The only difference between people trapped in a theatre facing a killer with a gun and an unwanted unborn trapped in a hostile womb facing a doctor with a knife is...........the people in the theatre have a chance to escape. We are living with their values and standards, when there is murder they blame a gun, not their lack of value for human life.
His kids, William, Alice, and John must be real proud.

Research how Bill Moyers and his family became multi-millionaires while working at PBS on our dimes. You will puke.
Except the history of the Oregon Trail he uses sounds like it came from Fauxahontas.
