Gun Scandal Blamed on Right-Wing Radicals
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 9 Dec 2011 | John Semmens

Posted on 12/12/2011 3:08:03 PM PST by John Semmens

The Department of Justice’s “Fast & Furious” scheme that resulted in thousands of weapons finding their way into the hands of Mexican gangsters is really the fault of America’s right-wing radicals according to Representative Hank Johnson (D-Georgia).

“If it weren’t for the NRA (National Rifle Association) and their ilk constantly blocking government efforts to limit access to firearms in this country there would’ve been no need for the DOJ to take such a risky action,” Johnson argued. “The so-called Constitutional ‘right to bear arms’ is an anachronism in today’s America. Unlike 200 years ago, people don’t have to hunt for their food. Neither do they have to fight off Indian raids. In short, the majority of people don’t need to own guns. They’d be much safer if we simply outlawed them.”

“Unfortunately, lobbying efforts by the NRA have created an environment where it is politically impossible for the government to take steps to disarm the population,” Johnson went on. “We can’t really blame the Administration for attempting to change the political environment via covert means. The murders that were committed with the weapons channeled to the Mexican drug lords were supposed to spark a popular demand for more gun control. Just because the Administration lost control of the narrative on these events doesn’t mean their intentions weren’t good. Attorney General Holder deserves credit for effort, not condemnation for failure.”

If I were walking my dog on Ruby Ridge, it wouldn’t be a republican administration I’d be worried about.

When Guam tips over and sinks, I suppose he’ll blame the Republicans for that as well.

My blood pressure took a sudden turn for the worst , until I saw the source of the news article.

The next thing you know , the Dept. of “Just-us” will start censuring what is being said on the internet.

Talk about left wing propaganda!
The misguided rep. from Georgia needs to look into a career change.
The second amendment has nothing to to with hunting. The democrats who want to outlaw guns know that the second amendment was written so we could protect our freedom and liberty from them!
That is why they fear armed citizens and want to outlaw guns.

When it comes to the “hunting” purpose of the 2nd Amendment, the CongressCritter misses the point.

Can I do one? “If it weren’t for the ACLU’s efforts to prevent the government from cracking down on the so called ‘free speech rights’, we wouldn’t have to beat OWS people into bloody pulps.”
How did I do? Did I capture his logic?

Watch the video:

The Navy Admiral in the video tried to keep himself from laughing. The Admiral is a Naval Aviator who also was the guy who flew the real aerial combat shots for the movie Top Gun.

It keeps getting harder and harder to distinguish reality from satire.

I think that the fact it takes me a minute to realize these are satire speaks volumes for where we are as a country today.
