MSNBC Town Meeting on guns 4/12
- Thread starter Byron
- Start date
How convenient.
Just so happens that El Presidente will be in Denver that same day to meet with the anti-gun folks of SAFE (which, according to them, stands for Sane Alternatives to the Firearms Epidemic). To me, SAFE more accurately stands for Socialists Against the Freedom Epidemic.
The Tyranny Response Team will be out en masse to "welcome" the lead gun-grabber to God's Country! One of the TRT leaders, Bob Glass, got a visit by the advance team at his gun shop in Longmont the other day, or so I heard.

Well, now MSNBC is advertising that Clinton will be on this Town Meeting program, which will be followed by a panel discussion "representing both sides." Valium time.
BTW, at least one Virginia representative says the effectiveness of Project Exile is unproven, because crime is down as much or more in Virginia cities other than Richmond that did not have Exile. It wasn't clear whether he was talking specifically about gun homicides, or what.

Oh yes. The Billness will be in town (Denver) ... so will we.
Hiz Highness will do a SAFE blab-fest at 11AM and then go do a one hour interview with Brokenjaw. The actual Town Hall bit is a bit later in the day.
We tried getting SAFE tickets yesterday (right after demo'ing against them at teh Capitol) & were told we weren't allowed into the event.
The Town Hall was supposed to be open to all but the SAFE pukes are restricting tickets.

Interesting side note to this event....
Initially, the Second Amendment Sisters' Colorado state coordinator was supposed to attend. Seems they overbooked, and she won't be given the opportunity. At least the Women Against Gun Control (WAGC) will be there to represent us.

Isn't it SOP at the "Town Meetings" Clinton attends to strictly control who gets in, and censor the questions? I'm assuming that's the case here, too, or the sociopath in chief wouldn't agree to show.

Typical socialistic manuevering. The whole anti-gun group are rotten to the core... Un-American in everything they do. Open meeting to both sides, HA! You could have predicted it.

Well, you you don't want to watch Brokaw, you can watch some shooters on MSNBC.
On the program "Special Edition" which airs at 8:00pm tonight (April 12), there will be a segment on the most popular handguns in America (I got to choose which ones made the cut), and another segment on the Clark family. That's Jim Clark, Kay Clark, and her husband, Jerry Miculek. They show them shooting, and if you have never seen Jerry shoot, it's worth tuning in.
Don't know what they will do with my interview, but it might be interesting.

Why watch it? It's already been written, rehearsed and set in stone. And, curiously enough, it is happening in Denver, CO, nearing the first anniversary of the Columbine massacre.
This is nothing but the fanfaresque Ouverture to the up and coming "One year since Columbine" Melodrama, starring Bill Clinton as the Good King, Algore as Sir Lancelot, a few, carefully-selected parents as the Peasants in Distress, the press as the Righteous Choir and Charlton Heston as the Prince of Darkness.
Get ready for it and its high-pitch, feverish tones.
The fact is, they are frustrated as heck that they have not been able (yet) to capitalize on Columbine as Tony Blair has on Dunblane and the Aussie Antis have on Tasmania.
This must be driving Clinton up the wall. He is the only one who has yet to give gunowners their Waterloo. And legacy-building-time is slipping away for His Omnipotence. I am almost inclined to feel sorry for him - only I have too much contempt for the insolent, the tracotant and the tyrannic type.
So, pull out all the stops. Keep guns in the media every day. Keep showing MP-5s, Uzis, pre-ban Ar-15s and Ak-47s while a pseudo-concerned, bed-wetting infowhimp spews her over-rehearsed load of half-truths on every possible news network.
Remind us of Columbine, while showing an impeccably law-abiding citizen enjoying his 2nd Amendment freedoms at the range, and tell us all about "America's morbid love-affair with weapons".
Keep us gunowners firmly on the stool of shame and repentance while interviewing grieving mothers, starry-eyed children and seriously in-bred "victims" who accidentally shot their foot off.
The "gun-debate" is not a debate. It is a vicious, petulant and almost torture-like verbal assault on an entity that has been muzzled and duct-taped into silence. The latter's presence is only nominal in the debate. We, as gunowners, have been put to the public pilory and we are one of the very few segments of our society undeserving of the least, decent amount of fairness, if not "compassion".
The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that, within the system as it is, we have lost the battle, the war, and are being stripped of our public dignity as well.
Something truly cataclismic will have to happen in order to restore some kind of semblance of real priorities in this country.
As it is, we no longer have a National Conscience. How sad for our Founding Fathers. Perhaps they needn't have bothered.

Private gun ownership is the capital sin in the left's godless religion. Crime is merely a venial mistake.

Tom, your program will air tomorrow on MSNBC at 8PM here in New York. It is being touted as "People who love guns"
I will watch it but it does not look like it is very favorable from the previews on MSNBC tonight.

I find it interesting how Clinton can tout how his gun laws have driven down gun crimes, murders, etc., and then in the next breath mention how we are suffering an 'epidemic' of firearms violence.
Can you imagine how silly it would sound for the Surgeon General or some other health 'expert' to mention that measles was at a 25 year low, but we were suffering an 'epidemic'.
Incredible.

It was worth watching to see Brokaw fumble with a couple of guns...
Tom ...I watched your segment on MSNBC last night.....Well done!
If we had more programs like this perhaps we could educate the general public that gun owners arent madmen.
BTW your list contained 4 of the 5 handguns I own!
