More proof that gun-grabbers are froot-loops.

My point exactly and I’m sure that’s what the TV commentator thinks of when he thinks of law and order.

Thanks GLGB, I start the day with NewsBusters.
Thompson/Hunter = the most pro-2nd Amendment ticket the GOP could put up next year.

Stories like this make me believe that liberals have taken an evolutionary path more on track with chimpanzees and jackasses.

Rudy's clueless, and Holt's not far behind. Even NewsBusters fails to get it.

The National Rifle Association, NRA, is America's largest gun control organization.

Strengthening “law and order” would be the logical outcome of disarming the public.

What about disarming the criminals? Shouldn't that be the first priority rather than the general public?

Actually, it's called phenotype reversion.

It’s much easier to disarm law abiding citizens.

Correct, but that doesn’t strengthen “law and order.”

You obviously aren’t getting my drift.

I get your drift, just not your logic.

It doesn’t matter what Lester Holt believes about the NRA — it’s a fact that Giuliani’s “tough on crime” credentials are interwoven with his support of measures the NRA opposed. It is Giuliani, not Holt, who as mayor supported gun control as an anti-crime measure, and it’s Giuliani who’s backpedalling now.

I think it’s reading too much into the anchor’s comments to say he’s making the claim that “tough on crime” is universally tied to opposing the NRA — but Giuliani’s brand of it certainly is.

By the reasoning offered, it would also mean strict curfews for everyone everyday. To oppose such curfews would be pro-crime.

What if we changed the candidate to a democrat and switched the NRA to black voters? Would the fearless news readers report this story?

“Thompson/Hunter = the most pro-2nd Amendment ticket the GOP could put up next year.”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

IIRC Hunter Thompson was actually a strong believer in the Second Amendment also. ;)

There was a corporal from Austria with an odd moustache who ran on a "law and order" ticket in the '30s in Germany, and I'll be darned if he didn't win... He made the laws, and he gave the orders.

Without calling anyone names, Rudy has shown tendencies toward autocracy already.

Any firearm owner who has been paying attention isn't buying what he's selling.

They have no clue about which end of the tube the round exits from.

Understandable, I guess when so many of them would send a one-eyed willie up the one-way street. Maybe they just have a problem with the whole 'pipe' thing...
