If you cant beat the other sides arguments, silence them.
The idea is to keep yelling that the NRA is racist, that they are murderers and have blood on their hands, that they are a terrorist organization that they wont support even simple measures to save lives. At the Oscars last night, wave after wave of the cool people called for banning guns. It doesnt matter that the people doing the yelling are pushing proposals that wouldnt save lives. Or that the people at the Oscars who called for banning guns were themselves protected by a phalanx of 500 armed guards. With a media that refuses to let the intellectual arguments on the other side get through, it might be an approach that works.

And when Democrats can’t silence the opposition, then the opposition must be destroyed by lies, innuendo, slander, character assassination, unfounded accusations, wiretapping, the complicit attack media, and even violence.

1And there are the death and rape threats against Dana Loesch. Fortunately, she is not sshuttingup, but, rather, doing a shoow on something called NRA tv. It looks good:

They don’t need to do anything but irrationally shame Republicans, and Republicans will do all the dirty work. The Republican party is like Mikey from those cereal commercials from the ‘70’s. “Hey, we can’t pass anti-gun legislation, lets give it to the Republicans. They’ll pass anything.”

We have to do something.
Until next time. Never let a crisis go to waste.
It worked in Florida.

The Left bought and paid for the Parkland Shooting. Same as Las Vegas. Think about it.

It’s the whole basis of “politically correct” speech.

The social media biggies, Facebook and Twitter, were used by conservatives during the last election to circumvent the establishment media.
They won’t allow that to happen again. Expect them to try and silence us.
Thank God for Free Republic!

Because there aren't enough NRA decals on vehicles. If you want them to shut up instead, let them know that they are outnumbered. And if you see someone being bullied, report it. Speaking only about those of you in the more American states, of course.

Crisis and “problems” turn the liberal wheel. Politically, the GOP is the party that always seems to get the ball over the “goal”. I just do not see, as horrific as it may seem, that this country in the future will be not ripped apart by a second civil war. This Republic kicks the can down the road on everything.

Never expect rationality from the Nazis and communists in the rat party, but have a plan to kill them when the pot boils over and they attack.

NRA decal equals vandalized car or road rage incident.

Drivers should install cameras for personal security reasons anyway. Some cameras for vehicles don't cost much and are easy to install. And of course, be prepared for self-defense.
I've seen some spoiled grown children get aggressive in western states that don't respect the Second Amendment well enough while legalizing drug abuse. They'll finish taking themselves and each other out eventually.
