If they play CNN at your gym and you do cardio for more than 5 minutes, you will be subject to various stories and diatribes on the problem of gun violence and the imperative for increased firearms egulation.  And then, take a gander at the image AOL/Huffington Post used to illustrate and article on the NRA:

Seems the editors agree with the protestors who hoisted this banner.

  1. Well, unlike the left’s “Let’s arbitrarily designate some guns as assault weapons and make them illegal” plan, the NRA’s plan would actually save lives.

    Also, interesting how the same media that proudly takes credit for changing society’s views on homosexuality by depicting relentlessly positive images of gay people… scoffs at the notion that relentless depiction of graphic violence has any influence on behavior whatsoever.

  2. Typical leftie projection. Gun control, to the extent it denies guns to the good guys, costs lives. Blood, to the extent it is on anyone’s hands but the killer’s, is hardly on the NRA’s hands.

  3. I can’t believe I used to think the left’s arguments were logical, and that I made arguments like that.

  4. It’s time to hold accountable the cretins responsible for every school shooting in the last 20 years.

    No, not the NRA – the mindless bags of used food who decreed these so-called “gun-free” zones.

    They actually seem to believe that a “gun-free” placard works like a cross to vampires. Actual evidence seems not to penetrate.

  5. I wondered where Code Pink had gone. Were they confused? Did they think it was a press briefing about drones?

  6. Was it really code pink? I didn’t see anyone dressed in a vagina costume?

  9. Guess the anti gun mob forgot about Clinton’s “Cops in schools” program. Of course “reasonable gun control” has nothing to do with facts or real solutions anyway so……………….

  10. And interestingly enough, the funding for Clinton’s program to put cops in schools was cut by…. Barack Obama.

  11. It’s truly amazing the amount and intensity of the anti-gun propaganda over the Newtown, CT shootings. The anti-gunners think they can advance their agenda NOW. I can’t remember when I’ve seen this level of anti-gun ferocity online.

    Meanwhile, the NRA says it’s getting 8,000 new members a day, so not everybody is going to lie down for this.

    At the state level, this could get nasty in certain places.

    The one good thing I can see is that the propaganda in the news media seems to be flagging a bit. Either the antis are taking a breather to get their second wind, or people in the media, including left of center LGBT blogs, have remembered that there are other important issues that also need attention. Who knows, it could be simple hysteria-fatigue, or some people are getting a little tired of talking about this, or mostly or only about this. And Christmas is coming up. So maybe they’ll try to ramp it up again in January, but they might find they don’t have the momentum they think they have right now.

  12. #11 – “Meanwhile, the NRA says it’s getting 8,000 new members a day, so not everybody is going to lie down for this.”

    Not only that but my own unscientific search revials al most no gun store has a pump action shotgun or other “home defense” type long gun in stock. They are selling out on all semi auto matics as well.

  13. The most vile thing about this whole thing besides the killing itself, is the left using the still-warm bodies of dead babies to advance their political agenda…granted, that is nothing new, but it is positivley VILE.

  14. #13 – “it is positivley VILE.”

    Yes, it is.

  15. The problem is not guns or automatic weapons. The problem is undiagnosed schizophrenia or borderline psychotic homosexuals and bisexuals. We all know the sociopathic homosexuals and bisexuals of the APAs will never acknowledge that homosexuals and bisexuals are disproportionately affected by borderline personality disorder.

  16. From AoSHQ:

    In the wake of the Newtown murders, acting President Obama has announced that he wants to have a “national conversation on guns.” I don’t know about you, but I really love these “national conversations”. Of course, we all know that when a liberal says he wants to have a “conversation”, it means he wants those who disagree with him (i.e. us) to shut up and listen to a lecture by him consisting of roughly equal parts of contempt, ridicule, insults, and threats.

    This is what the left thinks is a “conversation.”

  17. 11: My only response to them is, “Come and get them”.

    15: Yes, you have us. Just remember that many of us are well-armed. Tootles!

  18. And Obama’s puppet Cuomo admits that Obama and the Obama Party want to confiscate guns.

    Wonder where the fascist defenders Levi, Passing By, and mike are on that one?

    I really want to see the fascist Obama supporters scream and piss themselves on this. They need to state that they support the fascist Obama Party confiscating guns.

  19. Wonder where the fascist defenders Levi, Passing By, and mike are on that one?

    They also want to confiscate guns, but they are patient. It took 70 years to install socialism in the USA, and they are content to wait a generation before the human right of self-defense is taken away by the state.

    Sigh.

  21. So let me get this straight

    We can’t make abortion illegal because women will simply get back alley abortions

    We can’t deport illegal aliens because they’ll come across the border anyway

    But we can ban guns.

    Right
