NY Daily News: THE PRO-DEATH PARTY: GOP composed of pandering liars stoking fear on guns
New York Daily News ^ | 01/06/2016

Posted on 01/06/2016 7:54:31 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Brought to tears by the toll of gun violence -- and blocked in Congress by the National Rifle Association's paranoia peddlers -- President Obama on Tuesday took executive action to close loopholes on background checks for gun buyers.

Republicans leapt into immediate competition for the title of extremist best able to distort Obama's ultra-limited, ultra-reasonable directives as a monstrous government plot to destroy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness on the shooting range.

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz won faster than a trigger pull by disseminating an image of a determined-looking Obama in a storm-trooper outfit with the headline, "Obama wants your guns." Jeb Bush's accusation that Obama has a "gun-grabbing agenda" was weak tea in comparison.

Leadership of the Republican Party is now composed of pandering liars because stoking irrational fear is selling bigtime among gun-obsessed Americans. They're buying weapons at a record pace as if to beat the imminent closure of firearm shops.

"So the gun lobby may be holding Congress hostage right now, but they cannot hold America hostage," Obama said, his hope boosted by the fact that 90% of Americans, members of both political parties support subjecting all gun buyers to checks on whether, for example, they are felons, domestic abusers or mentally ill.

Gun-shop owners have been required by law to run the names of all potential purchasers through a federal database for approval. But, until now, sales at gun shows and via the Internet, accounting for an estimated 40% of all sales, have been exempt from review because of Republican congressional resistance to increasing firearms supervision in the least.

Obama brought these transactions under regulation by defining more than casual sellers as requiring federal licensing. His power fell short, however, of ensuring background checks bar gun purchases by individuals listed on U.S. terror watchlists.

And the supporters of abortion in the Democrat party are only in favor of choice and choosing, nothing more?

The Daily News is written by morons for imbeciles. Its readers are incapable of understanding words of more than 3 syllables.

The pictures were deliberately chosen to show the candidates in a bad light. Notice how they exaggerate Fiorina’s face, neck and chin to make her look older and mean. They don’t do this for democrats.

Yet the “daily news” will defend abortion on demand until the cows come home.

Liberalism has just as bloody a legacy as islam insofar as the murder of children.

The Daily News has become more hilarious than the National Enquirer.

Another newspaper on its deathbed.

The Pro-Death party are the Democrats. Pro-Infanticide, Pro-Assisted Suicide, Pro-National Suicide.

So, Obama has a “plan to stop crazies from getting guns”, eh?

Then surely he can ‘splain how closing the ‘gun show loophole’ would have stopped any of the the mass shootings he listed yesterday.

Seems like he may be the one using fear and deceit.

Yet another reason that NYC should be walled off and the inhabitants left to eat each other or starve.

The New York Daily News is the mouthpiece of The American Pol Pot Party.

So it’s okay for them to do it, but The Donald got crucified by these same sorts of people a few months ago for his comments about Fiorina’s looks.

Wow. These yokels at the Daily News should take a gander at the DNC platform if they think the Republicans are pro-death.

Only Republicans own guns and are NRA members right? I am so sick and tired of yellow journalism!

I’m a simple man who doesn’t feel more strongly about the 2nd amendment that I do for any of the others, but when I try to keep things REEL SIMPLE this is what I come up with:

1. Bad people get guns.
2. Good people also get guns.
3. Bad people do bad things with guns.
4. Therefore, good people need to turn in their guns...!!! WTF? What am I missing here?

My son is a great kid and went to a good Christian school. He was aware of other kids that would obtain for you your drug of choice, usually marijuana, if you had the money.

Golly, that was illegal, but the black market thrived on that.

And now we think that gathering up guns is going to be as effective as banning marijuana and all the other illicit stuff? The black market in guns is going to wither away and we will live in peace? Name one place where that strategy is working.

Like I say, I’m just a simple man, but DAMN, progressives need to get their heads out of their patootees and think this through.

If only he spent 10% of his vitriol considering this unconstitutional power grab, he’d have a tiny bit of credibility. With his EO, the half breed has dissolved Parliament and thrown out the Constitution.

Without the 2nd Amendment, there is no 1st. So, useful idiots like this one are no longer useful. Report to the nearest reeducation center.
