Democrat candidate credits students for "shaming" gun control opponents
Michigan Radio ^ | 04/07/18 | Tyler Scott

Posted on 04/08/2018 10:19:05 AM PDT by Simon Green

Democratic candidates for Michigan’s 11th Congressional district were cheered at a crowded town hall at a Library in Novi, Michigan on Saturday for embracing gun control reform measures as a part of their campaign.

There were several of the so-called “Town Hall for Our Lives” events in Michigan, and dozens around the nation this weekend; continuing the heightened calls for gun control measures in the wake of February’s Parkland, Florida school shooting.

"The leaders of this movement are students, are kids. They're fighting back where our elected officials have failed," said Democratic Candidate Dan Haberman. "The technique they're using is brilliant... [students] are shaming these folks who for so long haven't done the easy and right thing to do."

Dan Haberman should be asked at every opportunity this question: “do you favor confiscation of guns from law abiding citizens before they have been confiscated from criminals?”

Don’t go assuming that criminals aren’t a vital constituency of the Left.

That's why the Democrats are constantly trying to get voting rights for felons, both in prison and out.

I’m ashamed for such wimpy Americans as those who cannot even describe what they stand for.

Probably a bunch of UM socialist snowflakes from Ann Arbor rattling their little sabres for this clown.

Even in Washtenaw county, ground zero for the professionally offended flaming socialist snowflake retards from UofM, there’s probably more hunters out there in the county than college students.

Hell, I used to hunt right across the road from college owned private property.

A lot of trophy bucks in Michigan came out of Washtenaw county.

Or, more to the point, there’s more guns in that county than there are people.

It would be really amusing to see these limp wristed flakes attempt to confiscate all of those guns.

Shamed? Many are paying more attention to the fascist gun-grabbers, but not shamed by them.

No, it wouldn't.

They are really going to try for it. More specifically they will try to get well-armed minions of the State to do the confiscations. Most of the minions will follow orders from who ever is in control of the political machinery.

There will be a very nasty blowback when they do. Best to never let them get started.

The thought for the day should be "Preemption".

In 1865, a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States .

In 1881, a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States - who later died from the wound.

In 1963, a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.

In 1975, a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States.

In 1983, a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States.

In 1984, James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.

In 1986, Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.

In 1990, James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.

In 1991, George Hennard, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 23 people in a Luby’s cafeteria in Killeen , TX.

In 1995, James Daniel Simpson, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.

In 1999, Larry Asbrook, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 8 people at a church service.

In 2001, a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US.

In 2003, Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant.

In 2007, a registered Democrat named Seung - Hui Cho, shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech.

In 2010, a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner, shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others.

In 2011, a registered Democrat named James Holmes, went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.

In 2012, Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.

In 2013, a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school in Newtown ,CT.

As recently as Sept 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy ship yard.

Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns.

Not one NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservative was involved in any of these shootings and murders.

SOLUTION:

It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns.

What about Michael McDermott, nickname "Mucko," who killed seven people at Edgewater Technology in Wakefield Massachusetts, in what became known as the Wakefield Massacre.

Although his political affiliation is a bit hard to come by, one only has to read between the lines to get a pretty good idea of where he was coming from:

He was found by police sitting calmly and stated that he did not speak German. At trial, he stated that he was born without a soul and that God had allowed him to earn a soul by traveling back in time to kill Nazis. McDermott claimed he had "traveled back in time and killed Hitler and the last 6 Nazis." However, the prosecution asserted that the killings were motivated by his employer's garnishment of his wages for the IRS, to pay child support taxes that he owed.

He was the second of four children of Richard and Rosemary Martinez, who both worked as teachers and were members of the local historical society.

That area of the state? The county sheriffs, the state troopers, and virtually everyone who lives outside of town would tell these little hitler youth wannabes to FOAD. Ann Arbor is a town surrounded by a whole lot of nothing. I-94 and US-23 are there only ways out.

I used to work down that way over in Chelsea, and I had the displeasure of having to work with some of those condescending little pricks.

You could tell that they were afraid of being outside of the city, especially around all of us bitter clinging gun toting self sufficient types.

Nothing in your post tells me anything about his political persuasion-——just that he was nuts.

Another "read between the lines" case is that of Omar Sheriff Thornton, who killed eight people, all Caucasian, after being dismissed from his job at the Hartford Distributors warehouse in Mansfield, Connecticut.

Mr. Thornton, who was a person of color, said he went on his shooting rampage (in which he used two Ruger semiautomatic SR9 pistols) because of "racism he had experienced in the workplace." An investigation after the incident found zero evidence of racism or of racist incidents or harassment at Hartford Distributors, which had other African-American employees.

I'm thinking Omar Thornton may well have voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 election, which was the last before he ended his own life, on August 3rd, 2010.

They made me ashamed that I had let my NRA membership lapse...so I did the only responsible thing and renewed it! They also made me ashamed that I have not purchased a new firearm in a couple years. That shame will also soon be purged!

I'll bet you're right... he would make the list.
