Sad day in Connecticut

[getsome]

Thank you Rotorflyr for that beautiful ending to a thread that started with so much tragedy and heartbreak!!!....Our God is an AWESOME God that Was, Is, and will come again...Let us celebrate his birth and look to him as a way out of the evil we live with on this earth...Merry Christmas to all....

Here's an absolutely awesome video of Piers Morgan being owned by Larry Pratt of the GOA. When Piers runs out of arguments he resorts to name calling. You have to love the parting shot where Pratt make the analogy to Neville Chamberlain - classic! Sadly, I suspect the average CNN viewer is so clueless and uninformed by our current educational system that they have absolutely no idea who Neville Chamberlain even is.

Anyway, here is the unedited video; CNN chopped a lot of it off on their own web site edition to (try to) make Piers Morgan look less like an idiot:

I hope He gets here soon

When did anyone start caring about what Piers Morgan said? Why have they been letting this idiot on "News" shows....

If America is so bad, why the eff is he even here? That clip is rage inducing.

Justin, you are definitely born again HARD! My hats off to ya son, you make me damn proud.

Next thing you know you'll be speaking the truth weather it's PC or not. Not caring if you offend others if it involves the truth.

I'm choked up, I'm so proud.

I mean this with total utmost respect.

[JustinN]

I normally keep it in control pretty good, but ffs....Piers Morgan is an idiot... He's not even GD American and he rants about how our country needs to change...**deep breath**

Every once in a while I have to step down off my neutral wagon and have some fun right? Actually, I think with the direction everything is headed it's time to abandon it completely. This is a gun forum, about the guns we own and love. There is no room for anyone or any ideas that would be counter to us enjoying our sport, having fun, and protecting our families.

Glad I wasnt the only one who thought so. The man was so rude, I wouldnt blam The GOA rep to walk off the set. I do not think Pierce was handled well nor did Pierce handle himself well at all. I spelled his name wrong and dont care to correct it either.

I need some educat'n about Chamberlain. I know he was the PM and about the Munich agreement and his part to bring England into the war. What am I missing here when it comes to our discussion--please be kind.

[Bawanna]

Maybe that's it, I was never issued a neutral wagon. I'm all about having fun all the time and let the chips fall where they may.

I'm really and truly trying to think of a fix for the current trend but it's so huge with so many players and so many with zero common sense with so much power and money that its a rough row to hoe.

I'm sure the NRA is really gonna come out with some well thought out ideas but no one will listen or heed their advice.

It's down right depressing, not a good thing this time of year.

He is here because they have already polluted their own country with this crap. He comes from a nanny state where only the elite have any real freedoms. He's still pissed because we kicked their tail out over two hundred years ago.

He needs to take his liberal tax your TV tax, your door knobs, control freak attitude back overseas and then he needs to be put on a no fly list.

The no thinkers in this country don't realize that people hate what we have in the USA because they don't have it. They want us to be just like like them, dependent on the state.

My Obama voting commiefornia in-laws can leave the country with him.

I've got some family like that, also out there in Cali....last time he was here he cringed seeing the deer head on my wall, but agreed the Venison chili was delicious, and also really enjoyed the Crappie I cooked him. His "don't hurt the poor animals stance" was changing quickly when he realized how delicious they were. Not all can be converted, but it may be possible to find ways to at least start....

I have one that moved from San Francisco to Shreveport, LA. He said he had a hard time at first but now he's seeing the error of his ways. They came to visit for thanksgiving and he couldn't believe Obama won and was asking about what would be the best hand gun for fun and self defense.

Course he still has learning to do, he didn't know what a biscuit was and thought sausage patties were little hamburgers. LOL!!!! He had grits for the first time too. Oh, they're foreigners by the way.

[JustinN]

Oh, they're foreigners by the way.

I fully believe that. My wife's whole family is from Cali, with half of them now living here in SW MO. The look of amazement on their faces still makes me laugh when they look at things as simple as turkey feathers hanging on the wall.

The following is a letter that I posted in our local paper (The Capital in Annapolis) re: response to Newtown CT. There was a raging gun control debate.
Hat tip to Masaad Ayoob's blog that gave me the inspiration to take this particular theme.

Out of respect this discussion should have waited until the poor families could at least have their funerals. Sigh.

Evil knows no favorite weapon. Newtown CT was not the first nor the worst in almost any category. 9/11 terrorists used box cutters to control airplanes and kill almost 3,000 people including children as young as 2 years old. Timothy McVeigh used fertilizer to blow up 168 people including 19 children in the Murrah Federal Building Day Care. The first school massacre was in the Pontiac Rebellion when Indian warriors used knives to kill the headmaster and 10 children. And contrary to some sloppy media reporting, the worst school massacre was not Virginia Tech but rather the Bath School disaster when Andrew Kehoe used dynamite to blow up an elementary school, killing 38 grade-school children (almost double Newtown) and 6 adults.

It’s not the tool; it’s the individual.

Certainly part of the solution is a national dialog on what to do with criminals, mentally insane, and those demon possessed of evil before they can carry out their attacks.

To those measures however one country has learned what to do when all else fails: Israel. Since the Ma’alot massacre in 1974, Israel has armed volunteer teachers and parents. Despite Hezbollah’s and Hamas’ declaration that children are legitimate targets, that tragedy has not been repeated.

“Gun free zones” are free-fire zones for human predators. Sadly Israel discovered that the quickest way to stop a bad guy with a gun – is a good guy with a gun.

Very nice letter. Did it actually get printed? That would be great if it did!

[knkali]

rational and on point. But no one will listen. I can see the frenzied, knee jerking is too great and the majority of people do not like guns except as entertainment on TV/movies
