pat Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Last week there was a shooting on my block. Two dudes walked by and shot up a crowd of people at a candlelight vigil. Cops rolled in quickly and fast, less than 5m after the shooting. Nobody shot back. Once the shooters opened fire the only move was to get cover. Cops were able to get people to the hospital, but otherwise couldn't do anything. There's no such thing as defending yourself with a gun. It's all offense. There may be a retaliatory shooting, likely hurting bystanders. There's too many guns in the hands of kids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, told you so. Then the shooting in Ohio occurred by a Warren supporter and it is like the tards can't understand............ Now we have reached the point where people are arguing that having a gun doesn't help you defend yourself (gives proof with a single scenario). Did aliens drop a stupid bomb over vast parts of our population? Shoot first is the way to win a gunfight. That's why cops have a tough job. The Secret Service doesn't give the president a gun, they stand in front of him. Tell us, what is your self defense plan? Shoot the mailman with a package at the door?

begooode Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 No really, it’s all groups and all politicians want to help House Republicans recently circulated a memo with talking points on gun violence that seeks to pivot toward highlighting "violence from the left" when faced with questions about the influence of white nationalism. A memo by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) dated Aug. 6 and circulated by the House Republican Conference to rank-and-file members offers Republicans suggestions for how to respond to questions about their resistance to more gun restrictions. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/457763-gop-memo-deflects-some-gun-questions-to-violence-from-the-left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Three more officials have reportedly stepped down from the National Rifle Association (NRA) amid a spending controversy that continues to roil the gun rights lobbying group. CNN reported Tuesday that country singer Craig Morgan and NASCAR team owner Richard Childress have both resigned from the gun group's board. The outlet cited sources with knowledge of the matter. David Lehman, the deputy executive director and general counsel at the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, is also reportedly on the way out of the organization. https://thehill.com/homenews/458101-three-more-nra-officials-step-down-amid-spending-controversy-report ================== Fox News host Steve Hilton is blasting National Rifle Association (NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre, calling him "an odious little grifter" who needs to be shown the door.,.. "For years, Wayne has taken NRA members’ money to live the life of a king, but he’s not a king. He’s the head of a nonprofit trusted by millions to use its funds to secure constitutional rights,” Hilton, the host of "The Next Revolution," said during his "Swamp Watch" segment Sunday. “He’s an odious little grifter and it’s time for him to go.” Hilton listed several high-ticket purchases LaPierre has made over the years while running the NRA, including a $5 million estate and luxury travel and rent costs incurred during trips to the Bahamas and throughout Europe that entailed private air charters and drivers. https://thehill.com/homenews/media/457962-fox-news-host-roasts-nras-lapierre-an-odious-little-grifter-who-needs-to-go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 President Trump called National Rifle Association (NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre on Tuesday to tell him that universal background checks for gun purchases are off the table, The Atlantic reported. The decision to oppose an initiative that has strong support in public polling signals an apparent backtracking by the president from initial comments he made following two mass shootings earlier this month in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that left 31 dead. Trump at the time indicated support for legislation on “meaningful background checks,” saying the issue was not a question of the NRA or political partisanship. “On background checks, we have tremendous support for really common-sense, sensible, important background checks,” Trump told reporters on Aug. 9 following the shootings. However, Trump reportedly no longer supports the initiative. “He was cementing his stance that we already have background checks and that he’s not waffling on this anymore,” a source told The Atlantic with regard to Trump's phone call with LaPierre on Tuesday. “He doesn’t want to pursue it.” https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/458169-trump-called-nra-chief-to-tell-him-universal-background-checks-are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the last time he started talking about universal background checks and then quickly backed off. MadMax 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 It’s funny to me how his supporter see him in some light standing up to the power, but in reality the guy is a tiny little bitch. If he wasn’t he wouldn’t have said he supported the measures and then backed down; he would have said he was opposed to the idea.

begooode Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I just can't watch these guys play the pivot game on CNN anymore. This is what obfuscation / protect status quo looks like.
