ALAN DERSHOWITZ: I don't think it's the NRA power. I think it's people like us, not the two of us, but Americans who care about guns aren't doing enough to make our case to the public.
Because we think it's their issue. We've given that issue over to them because they have lobbyists they pay money. But in the end, the people determine the outcome. And it's wrong, and it's racist and it's bigoted to say that guns are quintessentially American. They may represent a part of America, but my grandparents who came over from poland and live in Brooklyn, New York, are just as much Americans --people who came over from Ireland, people who came over from Italy -- we're just as much Americans. We live on the coast and we have a right to define the America we want to live in and we have the obligation to win politically, to vote for people to put gun control as a high priority.
They put it as a number one priority. We who favor gun control put it as a 16th or 17th priority. So it's our fault, not the NRA's fault.

Dershitz is racist and bigoted.

“We live on the coast and we have a right to define the America we want to live in...”
No Alan, you do not. We live in a country where the Constitution decides how we live despite what everyone on the coast believes.
Was it Dershewitz who’s confused, or another reporter who can’t manage compound sentences?
Beats me. Perhaps the reporter.
The p in Poland is not capitalized.
LOL. Right.
Everything is racist in Obamaland....
Yawn...You make me sleepy, Alan...
Well you know they have lost the debate when they throw
the race card out there. They don’t have a leg to stand
on and they know it so they go racist.
Liberalism is just a fancy name for low life scum.
How pathetic. Allegedly a skilled lawyer, Dershowitz resorts to the race card in arguing for gun control.
Why is it, as Alan would have it, that people come here from Poland, and Ireland, and Afghanistan, and Kenya, and and and ... and, having left those hellholes, they want to change the USA into another hellhole like the one they left? I am sick of this mindset.
How about our immigrants and their offspring look at the USA, since they CHOSE to come here, often at great personal sacrifice and peril, and think about what it is that made the country work before their arrival, and what made it so desirable vs the hellhole they left?
ANY so-called ‘jew’ whose family ‘came over’ from, of all places on earth, POLAND, and insists on gun control is a masochist, a lunatic, a traitor to his blood, (which I have stated many times before about dershowitz,) or worse. Much worse.
The Poles, Irish and Italians should certainly know the value of guns against tyranny more than most nationalities.
I'll betcha a C note, his grandparents wished they had guns to defend themselves before they left Poland. Instead, they were fortunate enough to be able to retreat to America. But after America, there is no place to retreat to. That is why smart Americans will not allow their primary means of self-defense to be easily taken away from them. We've seen what happened in Europe when that was done: the lucky ones escaped while the unlucky ones ended up in gulags or, worse, in ovens.
I cannot understand why Dershowitz would want to make it easier for some future tyrannical government to herd people into the boxcars. He should study some history. Fairly recent history, actually, relatively speaking...
Sometimes the guy makes sense and other times he’s a moron.
