Each time one of these mass shootings happen, the gun-control freaks inch a little bit closer to outright insanity.
Since we decided as a country that the big story from the Charleston murders (somehow?) centered around the Confederate flag, these liberals have been chomping at the bit to get back to their favorite cause. The shooting in Oregon gave them their opportunity.
This time around, they are making some very strange suggestions. One of the strangest came from Linda Stasi at the New York Daily News. She doesn’t just want to crusade for gun control; she wants the U.S. State Department to list the National Rifle Association as a state sponsored terrorist group. It is the National Rifle Association and for their unending lobbying that’s kept a lid on gun control we now have 428 times more American deaths by gun than deaths by foreign terrorists.
Stasi, like most of the liberal media, was only too happy to follow President Obama’s suggestion to make that particular comparison. As though one thing has anything to do with the other. Is it a major NRA platform to claim that terrorists kill more Americans than guns? No one is disputing the president’s claim.
More Americans are killed by a lot of things than terrorism. What’s your point, lady? America is supposed to be ‘the home of the brave.’ But there is nothing brave about blasting away nine innocent people at a college.
What is this? An attempt to write an article making only points that everyone already agrees with? Who is out there claiming the Oregon shooter was brave? Therefore the NRA should take its rightful place on the State Department list of terrorist organizations, because its influence is more of an immediate threat to the lives of our citizens than foreign terrorists. Oh, so that’s the game. You say a bunch of stuff that is obviously factual (if completely irrelevant), and then you make a point that has nothing to do with what you said.
Stasi admits that the NRA is not actually “state sponsored,” but it’s enough that they donate to political campaigns. Apparently, that makes Planned Parenthood a potential terrorist group as well. And unlike the NRA, they actually are state sponsored, at least for now. Instead of seeing which side can out-hyperbolize the other, maybe we could have a real conversation about improving the state of gun violence in this country. Maybe we could do it without actually doing irreparable harm to the integrity of the Constitution.
Unfortunately, Democrats have made that impossible. We can’t trust that they will stop with something halfway reasonable, like universal background checks. Every time these kooks get something they want, they immediately start pushing the goalposts. So when they complain that Republicans aren’t willing to do anything, they have only themselves to blame. When you’re out there saying that the NRA is comparable to ISIS, you don’t get the benefit of the doubt.
Albert Biele stated it best:
The NRA fights to preserve the second amendment. The terrorists are in the white house!!
A statement released in 1935:
“This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!”
Adolph Hitler 1935
Obama, wants to control the country as a solo-leader via, executive orders. This is exactly how dictatorship works. Every candidate presently running for president under the Democratic Party is running under the premise of "DICTATORSHIP!! It'll never happen as long as the 2nd amendment remains intact. The real choice is between "FREEDOM and BONDAGE." Choose Wisely
No.
YES...but only if we can designate Democrats a terror group first.
The new world order or globalists or what ever you want to call them want us to live in a small cell like a conquered monk reading their approved news paper and books. Those that think otherwise will be eliminated or turned into a slave.
Yes, Miss STASI is well named indeed. In time, she and people like her are going to use the power of the government to demand membership lists.
> YES...but only if we can designate Democrats a terror group first.
Look at all the damage leftists groups that align themselves with the Democrat Party have done and its clear - the Democrat Party supports domestic terrorism and all other thinks un-American.
thinks = things; $&#% autocorrect
I see guns as a tool. And I have a litmus test for people’s reactions to mass, or any other kind of shooting. I replace the word “gun” (or assault rifle, etc. with “butter knife”. Now, if the sentences sound stupid, it means they ARE stupid, even when using the replaced words. It exposes that the speaker is either stupid, or they have an agenda.
I wonder when Americans are going to realize that the Linda Stasis’ of the world ARE FIGHTING A HOT WAR AGAINST US! They are using guns to herd us in: the guns in the possession of “ the law”. The more mentally and morally corrupt the administrators are the easier it gets.
Obama and the Dems are the terrorists supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and everything unAmerican.
The Demonicrat-advocates ABCCBSCNNNBCNPRNYTWP also qualify as terrorist-support groups.
(crickets)
Thought so........
how about the cryps and the Bloods and M13 and the other TERRORIST gabgs in Chicago and St Louis and Las Angeles. Why are we no shooting them with drones ?
Consider how many thousands, probably tens of thousands of people have both an NRA membership and a security clearance. You make them answer yes to the terrorist question, they lose their clearance, probably their job, and the contractor & government suffer significant setbacks and costs while new people are found, cleared and trained. The direct costs would be enormous, the indirect costs would be staggering. But then,, uselessly and needlessly wasting money has never been a problem to libtards.
So they want even more control over what honest people do, yet the gangs and thugs are unaffected. Again.
Upholding The Constitution and The Bill of Rights always terrorizes would-be dictators like Hussein.
Nope!
and meanwhile in the left world real terrorist become college professors
This country follows the "Rule of Law" , or so it is stated by the administration .
When an administration enforces one provision of law , and yet, ignores other laws , justice becomes 'arbitrary and capricious'
and there is , in reality , no "Rule of Law" in effect.
This is the condition that the United States is currently expieriencing.
There is a reason why it is stated in swearing-in ceremonies to protect the Constitution , and to "protect from enemies , foreign and domestic ".
When there is not equal enforcement for all laws as presently constituted ,not just selective enforcement there is no justice and no "Rule of Law" in existance.
Selective enforcement of some laws ,while totally ignoreing other laws , is unlawful , and indicates the existance of a rogue government
So they want to import millions of NRA members, give them clubhouses at the taxpayers expense and start teaching guns in schools?
