"We cannot mistake absolutism for principles"

Six simple and truthful words that made Wayne LaPierre go on another insane diatribe last night.

Crazy Wayne thinks that the right to bear arms sanctioned by the Second Amendment is an absolute freedom not open to reinterpretation. He might want to talk to Judge Scalia about that. Sorry Wayne, our founding fathers would spin in their graves if they saw today's technology.

Anyway, pop some corn and enjoy the video.. he knows he's losing with the American people AND with his own members. The desperation is as entertaining as it is palpable! :D

OK -- we reinstitute the assault weapons ban, and restrict all magazines to 10 rounds, and register guns, and make it more difficult to buy ammunition.

And then someone takes a registered gun and multiple 10-round magazines (ala Dylan Klebold), and commits another mass shooting.

At that point will someone like Chuck Schumer be saying, "We already have reasonable gun control, we need to find another solution," or will he be saying, "There's simply no need for this type of rifle/shotgun/handgun to be in anyone's hands?"

And your read of La Pierre's popularity with the NRA membership is completely off base.
 
Run the numbers on LaPierre's "armed guards in every school"....and you see how either stupid or crazy he really is.

I'll be generous and say stupid...and that he was merely throwing some s**t out and hoping it'd stick and get parroted by the Gun Right (it did)...and nobody would actually question and examine it.

He said,It was a God Given right! I am searching the Bible right now to see where God said that!Anyone give me a hint?I thought I knew it pretty well!
I could have sworn the argument was in the Constitution!

They harken to the "endowed by our creator" line to justify that particular idiocy MA. And as everyone knows, Jesus packed a Glock with a expanded magazine.. which explains why he had so many followers!

:D

You couldn't answer mine...not honestly. No way you can crunch the numbers on 90,000-plus armed guards in schools....and figure out how NONE of them would be a psychotic who got past even the most stringent screening....

and if that happened? (Since you like hypotheticals)....what would YOU and Wayne LaPierre propose then?

And could we sue those who implemented Wayne's ass for all the dead children due to his moronic idea???

(BTW, I think you MAY actually smart enough to know LaPierre's idea was b.s. and unworkable even highly dangerous....but honesty plays no part in defending the NRA by its supporters).

In the Old Testament, God told the Hebrews to SMITE their enemies. You need lotsa big guns to do that, MaryAnne!!! It's RIGHT there!!

Buy a clue - no one claims that reasonable gun control laws will prevent all slaughters by all gun nuts.

The goal is to reduce the slaughters.

Try to focus.

And anyone claiming they would rather face a maniac with a 100 round drum than a 10 round magazine is daffy.

Your link does not support the statement that LaPierre is out of touch with NRA members. It cites a congressman who has interduced legislation he claims is favored by 63 percent of NRA members (doesn't give a source for his claim). In any case, I'm a Patron Member of the NRA and know a lot of NRA members. A lot of the very hard-liners won't respond to surveys -- even those conducted by the NRA itself. I do, but I'm not a hard-liner.
