Title: High blood pressure? Be careful with that TV remote...
Post by: JLawson on December 22, 2012, 12:57:21 PM
Oh my goodness... did I ever make a mistake last night!  I thought it would be a good idea to find out how the various networks were covering the NRA news conference - gathering intel to help in conversations or correspondence.  I found Piers Morgan on CNN and Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC.

Morgan and his panel were blathering on about "Why do you need..." and "Hunters have no use for...".  They were in a tailspin over "how rapidly semi-automatics can fire and thus only good for slaughtering rooms full of innocents".  I thought my head was going to explode.  My wife saw how red in the face I was and asked if I was OK.  John Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime, was a participating audience member.  Talk about being outnumbered... they piled on him like stink on sh!t.  I was disappointed, though, in how ineffective he was in responding to some of their remarks - I expected more assertive responses.

O'Donnell was performing a monologue directly attacking Wayne LaPierre in the most shocking manner I've ever seen.  You could almost see the spit spewing from his mouth as he thundered words like "vile", "disgusting", and "complicit" through clinched teeth.  He wanted his audience to believe that LaPierre was actually the Devil on earth and regularly eats young children and puppies for breakfast.  Unbelievable behavior from O'Donnell... I actually started to feel nauseous listening to his viciousness.

Bottom line is this... these people are more dangerous than rabid dogs.  They're attacking anything and everything even remotely associated with guns, shooters, or the shooting sports.  This is a sincere warning: if you have HBP or a heart condition you should consider avoiding these folks.  Watching their near-convulsive theatrics and listening to their lies can be dangerous to your health.

I refer to it as "monitoring enemy frequencies".  ;)

"Hunters have no use for...".

This Nov. I used my AR10 to drop an 8pt buck in Minnesota.
Could I have used my Rem 700? Sure. But nobody has ever said an accurate 308 wasn't any good for hunting.

I hate those idiots that think hunting is the only valid reason to own a gun. I'd like to ask them where in the second ammendment does it mention hunting.

Just before it mentions muskets .

JLawson, they make pills for that, your cardiologist and Wal Mart can hook you up.

Came across a couple of links concerning Morgan.

This first one is very damning.  Fired as editor for posting falsified pictures of British troops mistreating captives.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/3716151.stm

Second one might show nothing more than a flippant attitude about Sandy Hook and, for sure, Morgan's inflated ego.

I thought it was dumb until I googled him and found out he's not a US citizen .
Where is the out rage and the UN when this foreigner meddles in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation ?
If an American said that Rwandan civilians should be armed to defend against machete weilding maniacs there would have been an international uproar, like there allegedly was when some guy in Ca. made a crappy, but reasonably accurate, movie about Mohamed.
