A hunting buddy of mine emailed me from the waiting room of his doctors office in Columbus, Ga., a few days after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. He was cringing in embarrassment as an old redneck spewed racially divisive rhetoric in front of African-American patients. Then my friends embarrassment turned to astonishment as that same redneck (almost certainly a gun owner, given the region and his demographic profile) said, I never cared much for Obama, but that speech he gave about those little kidsI give him an A for that. Hes gonna try and get more gun control, and I hope he gets it.
News flash: most gun owners support common-sense gun-safety laws. I should know; Im one of them. I own so many shotguns and rifles its a veritable arsenal. I used to hunt with my father and grandfather as a boy, and now I love taking my sons hunting with their grandfather and uncle. When I hear the words gun culture, the first image that comes to mind is not a crazed loner. I think of cold, crisp mornings riding a horse out into a Georgia field, feeling the thrill as an English Pointer snaps to attention at the scent of a bird. Or long hours sitting in a Texas deer stand with one of my sons, waiting, wondering if a big buck will arrive before the dying of the light. I taught each of my boys about the birds and the bees in a deer stand. Taught them how to respect Gods creation, honor the wild things we harvest, and thank the Creator humbly for our place in the food chain and the ultimate free-range, organic meal...

You bet it is..
I can hear 'em talking.. "Let's create a legislative tsunami to overwhelm the public with new gun control laws. Fast and furious! What a terrific opportunity.. wow! twenty dead kids! We couldn't ask for a better crisis! Get busy! The next time may be someone driving a car or truck running over 20-30 kids in the school yard. Who cares about that? We can't use it. That will make people forget the dead kids we need. Hurry up!"
Begala is a slinging crap ringmaster.
It only took until the second sentence before he mentions the racist, redneck. These liberal authors are anything but unpredictable.
It seems that a lot of the mass shootings where perpetrated by persons who are in some fashion mentally ill. I did witness what happened to my son when the school forced Ritalin to be taken by him. He behavior, while not the best to start with, became totally unpredictable and out of control. I took him off of Ritalin after about a month and he went back to being controllable.
You’re right. I went to law school with Begala. Mot the sharpest tool in the shed.

Onyx and 2nd Division,
You are right. I went to law school with Begala. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. But, he did finish the three-year course of study in only four years or so.

Begala explains two of the biggest problems facing modern liberalism: Whit guilt and Gun control.
Whoever said Liberal-Marxist like Paul ever had common-sense.
I am tired of moon-bat “common sense”. Begala is a scumbag liar.
Lying Liberals and the Lies they spread!
Paul By Golly is out from under his rock!
Face it Paul, you leftist twit, you DKS! You're an embarrassment to humanity.
This is the same old divide and conquer crap they’ve been trying for decades. Sad to say there are some hunters that buy into it.
ROTFL. Thanks very much for that information.
God bless and keep you.
Oh yeah, for sure. He’s nasty, obnoxious and mean too.
He was born in New Jersey.
I support the total repeal of the 1934, 1968 and 1986 Gun Control Acts which are un-Constitutional and un-American.
I know more gun owners than the forehead does and not one of them, NOT ONE, supports “tougher controls”. Begala is a liar. (Or he just has stupid, leftwing kooks for “huntin’ buddies”.)
“...When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly....[However, now] there’s a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there’s too much freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it.” President Bill Clinton on MTV “Enough is Enough” 3/22/94
“Stroke of the pen, law of the land... kinda cool”

How odd. Just recently I read a conservative was advocating that we ease up on the abortion thing to get more votes. I wonder if they are from the same neighborhood.
