ABC’s 'Quantico': Firearms a Privilege, Not a Right
newsbusters.org ^ | 3/28/2016 | Erik Soderstrom

Posted on 03/29/2016 5:31:08 AM PDT by rktman

In last night’s episode of Quantico, "Turn," before a terrorist attack against the FBI Training Academy has even concluded, a visiting senator (Marcia Cross) rails against firearms, declaring their use a “privilege,” not a right. At least ABC’s Quantico got it right about how quickly opponents of the Second Amendment rush to politicize any shooting.

Sen. Claire Haas: I'd like to acknowledge the brave men and women who defended our campus today. That includes one of our own -- trainee Perales. 330. That's the number of mass shootings in this country in 2015, an average of almost one per day. I am tired of this. And you should be, too. You are being trained to carry a weapon, to respect the power of a gun, to understand that it is a privilege to be earned, not a right given to anyone who -- Take the rest of the day off to process and recuperate. Remember why you're here, because though the horrible reality exists that there will be another mass shooting, soon all of you will be able to do something about it.

The senator’s comments come while at least one of the terrorists behind the heavily coordinated attack is still at large. Apparently, Senator Haas has also forgotten her oath of office, quickly casting off the Second Amendment as a “privilege to be earned,” rather than a right guaranteed in the United States Constitution.

FIrst, I don't watch ANY "major" nets for ANYTHING. Second, looks like the "How to make guns look bad for commond every day citizens" memo made it to the writers of this garbage. Keep pounding the privilege not a right crap into the UPOS/LPOS/SPOS/IPOS heads long enough............

I propose a new FCC policy for the incoming Trump Administration, which is:

Broadcasting on the public airwaves is a PRIVILEGE not a ‘right’ and ANY network entity which seeks to undermine and subvert the basic freedoms guaranteed under our Constitution will have their broadcast licenses revoked permanently.

I watched about two or three episodes of this diversity piece of PC liberalist crap. The whole show is Stupid. You’d have to be an idiot to think these people are like this in real life.

Most TV shows insert their leftist propaganda. I only have a couple of shows I watch amd they can’t control themselves in inserting leftist screeds willy nilly in to the plot.

Heres one example, the leading character said the US Navy goes in to prisons to recruit Navy Seals, they look for the worst of the worst.

LOL! Kinda like “The Dirty Dozen”? Round up the misfits cause they know who to cause mayhem. So maybe the SEALS are looking for a few good ms-13 gang bangers?

Watched at the beginning and the show is stupid to say the least.

Women walking around the FBI school with tops unbuttoned, homosexual fancies another homosexual, cheating on spouse , it has all the left wing kook agenda on it.

Black, Asian, Muslim (twins even), gayboy, lesbian (I’m guessing that develops in later plots I won’t see) and that poor stupid white boy that wasn’t good enough to become a special agent. The whole damned show is a PC wet dream....so effing stupid.

I hardly watch any TV any more. Just gave up Netflix last week over their radical pro homosexual stance.

This type of subversive tactic has been going on for a while now. Years ago, one said jury nullification was illegal.

Ironically, it was an episode of Law and Order.

It might as well be; last I heard of a juror mentioning it, the judge caught wind of it and threw her in jail for contempt.

Back in the day I got drawn into watching the drama “house” on Fox. In one particular episode the show saw fit to display an “Obama 2012” bumper sticker in the background of a scene....never watched again.

Thumbs up on that!
