Great billboard.
Interesting FACT: Native Americans vote more reliably Democrat than Blacks! Most Native American communities vote Democrat in the mid to upper 90 percentile.
Conservative; "Yeah, And the Government did that by confiscating their guns!"
Scroreboard!
"Tonto. The Obama gun turn in is over there."
"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking." --Joe Biden
Just another phony reason to be “outraged” and affirm victimhood.
Bogus story. How did they find these native Americans? Who do they speak for? Are there any native Americans who share the sentiment expressed in the billboard? If so, why weren’t they quoted as well?
Obviously, this story is contrived, probably at the behest of the Colorado and/or national Democrats, to make supporters of the Second Amendment seem racist.
These morons complaining up in Greeley just did the billboard sponsors a huge favor...taking this message national!!
The “native Americans” don’t get it. They’re now an officially certified victim group and they just feel that they have a right to be offended at anything the “White” people do.
Great billboard.
Great billboard, especially because the Marxists are boxed in.
Their only defense is “insensitivity.” Good luck with that.
Why would native Americans find that offensive? It seems like a very pro-Indian message to me, i.e., “You guys got screwed by the government, hopefully the rest of us can avoid the same fate.”
Notice how hard they had to reach to find “native Americans” to object to this? They had exactly *one*, who said she was a “native American”, which sounds like something Ward Churchill would say. The other person they asked was a non-Indian, probably a liberal, who had worked on a reservation.
Indians are very tribe-oriented. They are not bashful at all about their ancestry, as they are usually proud of it. As far as “native American” goes, that is like describing any of the hundreds of peoples in Asia as “Asians”. “Are you an Asian?” “I’m Japanese”.
And most of the warrior tribes, of which there are many, are very pro-gun, and very aware of the value of guns in their lives.
Many of the names the warrior tribes are known by are not their tribal names, but names given to them by other tribes, which tend to mean things like “invaders” and “conquerors”.
“Children of nature”, my butt.
The Cherokee at one point had a territory of about 140,000 square miles. The Sioux, the Navajo, the Apache, and many others didn’t just rapidly adapt to the gun, but even innovated improvements to it, such as center fired cartridges (though the idea was taken and patented by a white man.)
It should also be pointed out that as soon as war was declared in World War I and II, the tribes had lines outside of US military recruiting offices long before they were ready to enlist that many men.
One large tribe had independently declared war against Germany in World War I, and had not ended this declaration at the armistice, so were still technically at war with Germany when World War II was declared.
"...She thinks the billboards are making light of atrocities the federal government committed against Native Americans."
I think it is just the opposite. This person is making light of what the government is doing now and their intentions.
"I think people are really worried about their gun rights and what liberties are going to be taken away,"
Ya think?!!
Disarmament made Sand Creek and Wounded Knee possible.
Great White Father speak with forked tongue. Ugh!
I am a native american and I approve this message!!!!!
I actually, in the flesh, heard a tribal chairman say that one of the very worst things the USG did to the native was given him money. Welfare destroyed the tribes.
I couldn’t believe it. This is a guy with a painting of Obama in a native headdress riding a horse in his office.
OUTSTANDING!
I don’t have a problem with it.I think its a great billboard. I don’t know who those Indians are but they don’t speak for me.
I say lock and load. And so do my friends.
My grandmother was Full Blood Creek and I approve of this message.
