He needs a second grin underneath his chin.

A hunting buddy of mine emailed me from the waiting room of his doctor’s 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 friend’s 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 kids—I give him an A for that. He’s 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; I’m one of them. I own so many shotguns and rifles it’s 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 God’s 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...

All that matters is whether he can convince others that he does.

They just toss out total BS statements knowing the press will never call them on it. His assertion has as much credibility as if I were to say “Most Liberals want less spending and lower taxes for everyone.” I could say that all day long - doesn’t make it true.

You’re precisely right. Our press is Pravda of old.
Paul Begala, “Golfer with a Gun”.
“Unfortunately, there is some truth to this. I personally know several gun owners who think future sells of large capacity magazines and even assault type weapons should be banned. They don’t see any need to own any themselves and so don’t see a ban as any skin off their nose.”
The wishful thinking of idiots that hope the crocodile eats them last.
“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.”
Until they come for their prized pump guns and over and unders. Then the crying will start.
Begala would puke gutting a deer.
No, you missed Paul’s point.
He LOVES Racist’s who agree with him.
He is a man of Principle, just like when he defended Clinton when he lied under Oath.
Do they also think the Government should be able to break down your door and seize the Large Capacity Magazines you already own?
If they don’t think so, they are Hypocrites. If they do think so, they are Fascists.
I wonder what Begala thinks about “Fast and Furious,” Obama and Holder’s involvement in this scheme, the resulting deaths of hundreds of innocent Mexicans, and the murder of two Border Patrol agents?
This has the strong odor of the south end of a north-bound bull to it.
He needs a second grin underneath his chin.
I’m thinking the over-unders would be safe for a few more years. The pump shotguns and semi-auto deer rifles that take a “clip” would be banned though.
My Dad (RIP) was of the same thinking years ago (even to the point of “no need for a pistol - it isn’t used for hunting”). As was my wife. If my old man was still around I’m guessing he would have changed his mind like my wife did hers.
“While an old redneck spewed racially divisive rhetoric” in fron of blacks.
Yeah, sure Begala`s “hunting buddy” witnessed this. Right.
Liberals` imaginary friends experience the darndest things.
If he`s “from” Texas, he`s an import from Austin.
I’m not going to beat around the bush on this one, he’s full of $hit.
Somebody tell Paul its not about hunting safety its about tyranny.
How did this redneck get away without having his butt kicked by the black people? A group of blacks is afraid of one old white man?
