…will assist the government if, or when, they decide to come for your guns.

I think it’s time to divide the country physically between Left and Right. I just don’t know if I want to spend the rest of my life manning the barricades to fight back the state.

Read this statement from my (NRA “A” rated Congressman):

“Bachus discussed a number of topics in his speech Thursday morning. He did not give the response some small city officials were hoping for when they asked if he would oppose all gun bans.

“Instead, he said, it may be necessary to ban some assault weapons to keep hunting rifles and guns from being outlawed. ”

I haven’t even bothered to send him a nastygram. I’m done, he’s fired. I’ll vote against him every time I get the chance until he’s gone.

Do they ask if their neighbors have lawn fertilizer in their homes? Bet they d. Under less strict circumstances that they guns are kept too. You know, little Johnny or Susie might just decide to eat that fertilizer and DIE.

Talk about a manufactured crisis from people with too much times on their hands.

Guns are evil, but let’s promote promiscuous sex with reckless abandon on ABC Family’s “Roommates”.

I have owned guns since my father bought me my .410 double barrel, which I still own, at the tender young age of 8. I can remember driving to high school with my Remington 1100 in the back seat so I could get to the corn fields after school and hunt pheasant.

My how times have changed. Here in New Hampshire, we have had “Massification” ( the migration of people from Massachusetts, affectionately referred to as “Massho***” ) on a grand scale. They come here to escape the nightmare they created in their own state and end up electing the same types of morons they are trying to escape. Now what we are ending up with is a population that immediately thinks that a gun is a bad thing and anyone with a gun is a mass murderer just waiting to pop.

With that being said, my wife has had parents ask if we have guns in the house when their little crumb cruncher was coming over to play. She tells them that we do and even offers to show the parent where the gun safe is located to put them at ease. I don’t have a problem with that. The problem is with the hysteria mongers on television creating a problem that really doesn’t exist and a general population that is ignorant to responsible gun ownership.

I think there are a lot of people who really believe that somewhere in the wild there are animals running around in styrofoam shrink wrapped containers waiting to be harvested.

“Nearly 1.7 million children live in homes with firearms that are loaded and unlocked, and every day eight children die from guns.”

Example of Progressives use of false cause and effect.

Children live in houses with guns.
Children die from guns.
Ergo, Living in a house with a gun kills children.

CBS, 60 Minutes, did a piece on guns on 4/12. It actually used the same individuals that were in the ABC piece. Their inferences were similar to the ABC piece.

I guess it’s all driven by recent high visibility shootings but it’s still disturbing.

The conclusions or pseudo-conclusions are off base. Both pieces inferred that closing gun “loopholes” would fix the problem. Closing gun loopholes or restricting guns only exacerbates the problem. If they helped then explain why do Mexican drug lords and their gangs have so many guns.

We are going to see more and more of this kind of trash from the MSM; as it tries to propagandize the masses against the second amendment.

was the full program where this segment appeared.

I would have written about this program myself, had I had the time. It was a one-hour program that can be summed up as “Guns: Bad. Nothing good about them.”

They spent about half of the show in attempting to “prove,” via experiment, that even had some of the students at the Virginia Tech shooting been armed, they would only have been killed first because of their inability to draw, aim, and hit the bad guy.

The problems with their experiments included (1) that they had the armed students wearing long, loose sweatshirts that interfered with their ability to draw their weapon. (2) Although some of the student subjects were experienced target shooters, none of them claimed to have attended armed self-defense training classes. (The program did highlight the problem of “tunnel vision” during an armed encounter.) (3) No consideration was given to the more likely situation where an armed bystander was in a secondary location (such as a barricaded classroom), one where quick-draw would be irrelevant and where the defender, not the assailant, would have the benefit of surprise.

Another problem (4), was that the student subjects knew that the situation was staged (although they didn’t know what was going to happen). They KNEW they weren’t going to be killed because of their actions, so they behaved as if they were in a movie or TV show, not as they might have behaved in a real-life armed-intruder situation. In effect, they had been TBH–Trained By Hollywood, with a “false” sense of security thrown in for good measure.

And (5), the situation they were put in would have been difficult for even a trained policeman to handle. But he WOULD have known to take cover and protect his own life first.

It was pure anti-gun propaganda.
