"Democrats say we have guns in America because of 'corruption,'" former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared on Twitter on Sept. 12. "No, we have guns because it's our God-given right enshrined in the Constitution."
The second part of that tweet is silly; God didn't give people the right to own AR-15s any more than a divine entity gave Americans the right to own automobiles without seat belts. The first part of Sanders’ tweet, though, is mostly accurate. The National Rifle Association's money doesn't corrupt Republican legislators. Instead, Republicans oppose gun control because conservative political identity is today inseparable from guns. Identity is a deeper motivator than money, and, for those who want to end gun violence, a more intransigent one.

And we HATE the MSM.
Hate, loathe, and f*rt in the general direction of.
They are slime, vermin, bottom-dwellers, and worst of all, journalists.

****
this dumb twat lost me after this one..
We don’t love guns so much as we love LIBERTY (something the liars at NBC will never understand). Guns, aside from being fun to shoot, are valuable tools to preserve LIBERTY.
Looks like a homo.
2nd Amendment bump for later....
“Republicans oppose gun control because conservative political identity is today inseparable from guns.”
Well then sir, why after ensuring that their populaces were legally disarmed did ones like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot continue their own identity with guns? And gee, it would take U.S. and Canadian criminals (along with the token few Adam Lanzas and Dylan Klebolds and Gamil Gharbis) many hundreds of centuries to equal the number of citizens those four men alone with their governments murdered in just one.
Nope - most simply don’t trust government (hunting and target shooting are nice side benefits of the 2nd amendment)
“American gun culture is driven by a complex mix of reactionary fantasies, racism and insecurity — not campaign donations.”
Read the article. This creep means to insult each & every gun rights supporter, but he stumbles onto an inconvenient truth: guns are part of our American culture. It’s not about the NRA, arms manufacturers, or money to politicians.
Which is true. Berlatsky does the usual liberal `gun people suck’ dosey-do, but concludes (rightly?) that gun owners will never compromise on gun control and so must be outvoted by the usual race-class-gender-fag coalition the Dems try to assemble every election year.
Still no plan on how to confiscate hundreds of millions of firearms from us “reactionaries”.
Go back to your latte, Berlatsky.
Ordinarily I would take the time to correct such an ignorant statement, Noah but I don’t respond to people who eat their own poop...
One of Barry Soetoro’s bathhouse buddies...
This guy is a moron.
I’m all in favor of taking dangerous weapons out of the hands of people.
Let’s start with taking computers away from idiots like this.
And I have news for Berlatsky. We don't give a F***! if you outvote us, we will *NOT* comply with any laws to take away our guns.
A right given by God shall not bow to mere Democracy.
Don’t let the left fool you. The left LOVES guns. They just don’t want YOU to have one.
Juxtaposing this article with the article on the fatally sucker-punched fairgoer in MD pretty much exposes Berlatsky as one who cannot understand the natural result of depriving citizens of the freedom to defend themselves by arms.
Tiny Tim’s grandson.
The left rants about jailing, and sometimes even executing (or nuking) gun owners, then act like they don’t understand the attachment to firearms. Their determination to take them only strengthens gun owners’ resolve to keep them.
This is exactly what they cannot grasp.
