Gun Grabbing POS John Glenn Has Kicked Off

[billt]

Good riddance!..... "Although JFK wasn’t the first president to be assassinated, his murder in 1963, and that of his brother, Robert, several years later, brought new life to the gun control movement. In response, the Emergency Committee for Effective Gun Control was formed, with former astronaut and future Senator John Glenn as chairman. Its objectives, according to Kopel, included “national gun registration, national gun licensing, a ban on interstate gun sales, and a ban on mail order sales of long guns (mail order handgun sales had been banned since 1927).”

I'm sick of these guys that were nothing but destroyers of the Second Amendment. Then they die off and all of a sudden they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Another one of his shining star moments. Remember the Keating 5? So he rode into space with a taxpayer funded rocket up his ass. F*#K this asshole!

Tell us how you really feel, Bill.

So, let me see if I get this...

After reading your post I'm inclined to say you weren't too fond of him.  Is that it?

As someone pointed out in another thread, senior military brass is largely populated by left wing loons who have little grasp or understanding of free market economics.  Glenn was one of those. 

But, here's another way of looking at it.  He accomplished very little in terms of banning guns or controlling gun sales.  And, he did manage to die before he got anything onerous done.

So, it's all good.

On another subject entirely, it looks like Trump is surrounding himself with the last vestiges of sanity coming out of the military.  With the exception of Petraeus who is a gun hating lib and not smart enough to keep an affair private, most of Trump's choices seem to be men of valor and honor.  Not a bad start for someone who isn't a politician.

It's how he mae his name, the whole point behind "The Apprentice" , his talent is forpicing the right people for jobs.
Except apparently wives, Melania is like #3 isn't she.

The media is painting Pres. Elect DJT as a little boy draft dodger who is hypnotized by the war stories told by old war lords.  I see it as a person picking those who think, evaluate, and act as he does.

As for military leaders being left leaning, I have found over the years that there are three views of the 2nd Amendment coming out of the military:  1.  Strong supporters of the Amendment and all freedoms; 2.  Those who don't care one way or another politically, but support our rights and are willing to live and let live; and 3.  Those who will never touch another firearm and think that only active duty under strict control should ever have access to firearms.  Of course, the media jumps all over #3, putting them in the spot light, and using them to push their agenda.

I think it's more likely they came with and "expiration date" on them and he changed out for a newer "model".

Looks that-a-way.  Bill does have a way with words...............

What else do you need to know about this guy to determine he is a total POS? Riding a taxpayer funded rocket into space doesn't erase it. Anti Gun = Anti American no matter how you look at it.

Yes he sure was a disappointment.  The right stuff for spaceflight didn't carryover to his political life.

John Murtha, John Glenn, John McCain, Charlie Rangel .
All 4 decorated veterans, all 4  liberal elitist crooked POS's.
Explodes the myth of the sacred veteran, yeah they did one good thing, that doesn't mean they are good people.

Trump IN... Glenn and Reid OUT... Perhaps it's karma after all.
