Media push agenda against 2nd Amendment while masquerading as objective.
Ten Outrageous Anti-Gun ’Journalists’
Media push agenda against 2nd Amendment while masquerading as objective.
Published: 1/8/2013 10:15 AM ET
The
media agenda against guns is nothing new. But recent mass shootings have
encouraged supposedly neutral journalists to push for gun regulation instead of
reporting the facts surrounding the tragedies.
One thing the media seldom mention is that both the Newtown and Aurora shootings occurred in gun free zones. In the Clackamas Town Center Shooting in Oregon, however, a gunman was stopped when someone with a concealed carry permit intervened. There were only two casualties in this shooting which received little media attention. If this incident was mentioned, the concealed carry part of the story was almost completely ignored.
Some journalists have gone after after the NRA, calling for them to labeled “terrorist organizations” or lamented that they “yield too much power.” Others simply attacked any pro-gun advocate they had on their program. Still, a few went straight for the Constitution, with calls to “repeal the Second Amendment” or revise it. Many tried to imagine a world without guns … forgetting that even without guns, violence would still exist.
1. Donald Kaul Calls to “Repeal Second Amendment”
The most egregious case of anti-gun advocacy has got to Donald Kaul. Kaul, who retired from writing a weekly column in The Des Moines Register in mid-2012, came back after Newtown to speak out, taking anti-gun advocacy to a whole new level.
He had three solutions to the so called gun violence problem. The first of these was to “repeal the Second Amendment” since the founders never intended for private gun ownership as it is today.
After that, he would like to “declare the NRA a terrorist organization and make membership illegal.” He argued that this would make owning guns less desirable, like how Communism was made illegal. Except… joining the Communist party was never actually made illegal in the United States.
He continued that he would like to “tie up Mitch McConnell and John Boehner” and “drag them around.” Kaul seemed to think that a good way to end violence is with more violence towards those with whom you disagree.
On Jan. 4, 2013, Kaul followed up on his piece on lefty site AlterNet. In his feel-sorry-for-me piece, he contemplated why people simply didn’t understand that his call to tie up McConnell and Boehner was satirical. “I was using it as a metaphor for making politicians pay a price for their inability to confront the gun lobby.”
But that wasn’t all. He later explained that his suggestion to repeal the Second Amendment was also satirical, to “point out that it’s being misinterpreted and misused.” He then said how he was flabbergasted that NRA members might be upset about his call to label the NRA as a terrorist organization. “I may now be closer to believing the NRA is an organization of terrorists, however.”
Surprisingly, people don’t like it when someone demonizes an entire organization.
2. Piers Morgan’s Vendetta against Guns
Piers Morgan never misses an opportunity to immediately politicize a tragedy and call for gun control. Newtown is no exception. The backlash against Morgan’s statements had been fierce this time around, though, with a petition to the White House to have him deported back to England.
On Dec. 19, 2012, Morgan claimed to respect the Constitution – including the Second Amendment – but then called for gun control anyway. “If he didn’t have guns, none of those children would have been shot,” he stated matter of factly. The previous day, on Dec. 18, Morgan went after a gun advocate on his show, calling him “an unbelievably stupid man” and “dangerous.”
Morgan is a legal resident of the United States, who is originally from England. He is host of CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” which replaced Larry King when he retired in 2010. He is a British journalist, and studied journalism at Harlow College.
3. New York Paper Publishes Addresses of All Local Gun Owners
Nothing can be more helpful to a criminal than giving them an exact map of which homes are armed and which ones aren’t… and that is exactly what the New York paper Journal News did in its Dec. 25 edition.
In a protest against gun rights, the newspaper published all the addresses of those who owned guns, not thinking through the consequences of such actions. Now, potential criminals are armed with valuable information that puts people at risk.
On Jan. 7, 2013, New York State Senator Greg Ball went on Huffington Post Live to discuss the Journal News escapade. He stated that while gun permits are public record, this list does not include criminals who may have illegally obtained guns in their possession. “We're talking about people who obey the law.” He continued by saying that permits belong to “many victims of domestic violence who got a permit to protect themselves.” He called this map a “public safety nightmare.”
It gets better. On Jan. 4, the Rockland County Times, another New York paper in the same area as Journal News, reported that 25% of the gun map was incorrect. “Rockland residents have reported that the information on the gun map is sometimes more than 20 years outdated.”
4. Bob Costas Blames Murder/Suicide on Guns
After the tragic murder/suicide of a Kansas City Chiefs football player and his girlfriend, NBC’s Bob Costas wondered during halftime whether these two people would still be alive if the football player had not owned a gun. “If Jovan Belcher didn’t possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today,” he stated. According to Costas, guns are the problem, period. There are no other ways to kill someone and there were no other factors contributing to this tragedy.
5. Soledad O’Brien Doesn’t Understand Gun Ownership
Soledad O’Brien is no stranger to stating her liberal opinions as opposed to balanced journalism, but after the Newtown shootings, she really lost it. On Dec. 17, O’Brien attacked pro-gun proponent and author John Lott. “Your position completely boggles me,” she gasped. A few days later, on Dec. 20, O’Brien expounded on her confusion by promoting a ban on hand guns. “Is going to the assault weapons far enough?” she pondered. “Does this … open up a conversation toward limiting handguns?”
6. David Gregory Promotes President Obama’s Gun Control Speech
NBC could never find anything wrong with anything President Obama had ever said, even when it comes to calling for gun control at a candle light memorial. In fact, NBC’s David Gregory went along and helped politicize the tragedy on Dec. 21, 2012. Gregory included many sound bites of the President’s call for gun control, but failed to interview any gun advocates. He then concluded his segment with: “The politics, it's just so hard to hear about people in so much pain as we go into the holidays. But it's all over that area, and we all feel it.”
On Dec. 23, while interviewing Wayne La Pierre of the NRA, Gregory produced a high capacity magazine as a prop, which is in violation of D.C. gun laws. This caused an investigation by the D.C. Metropolitan Police, who stated that they had denied NBC permission to use the magazine as a prop when they were asked. No word yet on whether charges will be filed.
7. Don Lemon’s Anti-Gun Tirade
On Dec. 17, 2012, CNN anchor Don Lemon went on a tirade against guns, calling for them only to be in the hands of law enforcement. “We need to get guns and bullets and automatic weapons off the streets,” he declared on his program. But what Lemon failed to consider is that in a time of crisis, it can take law enforcement minutes to get to a crime scene. A law abiding citizen with a concealed carry permit could, in fact, neutralize a situation sooner, like with the Clackamas Town Center shooting in Oregon.
8. Dylan Byers is Sad Gun Control Talk Didn’t Survive Christmas
In his Jan. 2 post on his blog for Politico, Dylan Byers lamented about how the gun control talk had dropped off before Christmas. “This time was supposed to be different,” he wrote. He listed possible diversion for the subject, like Christmas or the fiscal cliff, but to Byers, this just isn’t acceptable. He then pondered as to whether it was possible for the discussion to heat up again post-holidays. “Barring a post-holiday resurgence – which is certainly possible – the gun control discussion has once again gone the way of … the gun control discussion.”
9. Bill Plante Slants Debate with Four Gun Control Liberals to One Gun Advocate
On Dec. 17, Bill Plante played sound bites about guns on CBS’s “This Morning” that included four gun control advocates versus one pro gun viewpoint. After playing bites from staunch gun control supporters Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Representative Carolyn McCarthy and President Obama in succession, Plante showed a short clip from Texas Representative Louie Gohmert.
After the clip of Gohmert defending the rights of gun owners, Plante commented on the politics of gun control calling them “toxic.” He then stated that “gun rights groups, like the National Rifle Association, wield tremendous influence.”
10. NBC’s Nancy Snyderman “Sick” Over “Guns and Violence” in Political Ad
On the Feb. 16, 2012 edition of NBC’s “Today,” Chief Medical Editor Nancy Snyderman went after then-presidential candidate Rick Santorum for a satirical political ad that depicted Mitt Romney firing a mud-filled paint ball gun at a cutout of Santorum. “I’m sick of guns. I’m sick of violence. I’m sick of it all. And I know it’s tongue-in-cheek … I don’t like it.” Although Snyderman’s comment predates the recent shootings, it shows how anti-gun more journalists really are. No word yet about how Snyderman feels about Tarantino’s latest film, “Django Unchained.”
One thing the media seldom mention is that both the Newtown and Aurora shootings occurred in gun free zones. In the Clackamas Town Center Shooting in Oregon, however, a gunman was stopped when someone with a concealed carry permit intervened. There were only two casualties in this shooting which received little media attention. If this incident was mentioned, the concealed carry part of the story was almost completely ignored.

Breaking news, another gun owner map released!
BREAKING:
Another Map Has Been Released Showing the Location of Gun Owners. This
one is from Texas. All orange dots represent gun owners! via www.PositivelyRepublican.com
"Gun control" is a lie.
"Gun control" is a lie. "Gun control" is a liberal propaganda phrase intended to deceive. You have cruise control in your car. Does it limit the number of speeds at which you can cruise? Does it limit how often you can cruise? Does it limit where you can cruise? Does it limit in which vehicles you can cruise? Does it require that you register with the government or store your car at the local police station when not in use? Of course not, it allows YOU to control your cruise. Liberal "Gun control" is nothing of the kind, it is gun banning, gun confiscation, denial of self defense, infringement of personal rights and violation of the constitution.
Obama admin lies about crime statistics.

Why the 2nd Amendment
James Madison: "(The Constitution preserves) the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation ... (where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
Thomas Jefferson: "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."
George Mason, author of the Virginia Bill of Rights, which inspired our Constitution's Bill of Rights, said, "To disarm the people -- that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
Rep. John Lewis and like-minded people might dismiss these thoughts by saying the founders were racist anyway. Here's a more recent quote from a card-carrying liberal, the late Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey: "Certainly, one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. ... The right of the citizen to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America but which historically has proven to be always possible." I have many other Second Amendment references at http://econfaculty.gmu.edu/wew/quotes.html.
How about a couple of quotations with which Rep. Lewis and others might agree? "Armas para que?" (translated: "Guns, for what?") by Fidel Castro. There's a more famous one: "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing." That was Adolf Hitler.
Here's the gun grabbers' slippery-slope agenda, laid out by Nelson T. Shields, founder of Handgun Control Inc.: "We're going to have to take this one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily -- given the political realities -- going to be very modest. ... Right now, though, we'd be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal -- total control of handguns in the United States -- is going to take time. ... The final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition -- except for the military, police, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs and licensed gun collectors -- totally illegal" (The New Yorker, July 1976).
There have been people who've ridiculed the protections afforded by the Second Amendment, asking what chance would citizens have against the military might of the U.S. government. Military might isn't always the deciding factor. Our 1776 War of Independence was against the mightiest nation on the face of the earth -- Great Britain. In Syria, the rebels are making life uncomfortable for the much-better-equipped Syrian regime. Today's Americans are vastly better-armed than our founders, Warsaw Ghetto Jews and Syrian rebels.
There are about 300 million privately held firearms owned by Americans. That's nothing to sneeze at. And notice that the people who support gun control are the very people who want to control and dictate our lives.

‘No Ma’am’: Letter From US Marine To Dianne Feinstein Goes Viral

‘No ma’am’: Letter from U.S. Marine to Dianne Feinstein goes viral
The following letter, written by U.S. Marine Joshua Boston and headlined “No ma’am.,” was posted in the CNN iReport on Dec. 27 with the included note from the producer and photo. It has struck a nerve with many and is being circulated around social media venues like Twitter and Facebook.
Senator Dianne Feinstein,
I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
We, the people, deserve better than you.
Respectfully Submitted,

Sandy Hook, liberals cause more deaths.
Yet another example of "gun free" zones attracting cowards bent on murder. When's the last time a police station was attacked? Never. An active warzone army base? Nope, just off duty and cadets. A competition like 3 gun or IPSC. Nope those guys can shoot.
Gun don't kill people, never have and never will, people kill people. People kill people with cars, knives, baseball bats, boots, and bare hands. Yet we'll have dozen of liberal geniuses going on an on in tonights "news" about "if only we had banned guns... now we must ban guns" You did assholes, and looked how well it worked. You guaranteed a safe environment for the murderer until the police responded many minutes later. One single CHL could have prevented this.
Liberals will be the death of us all.
