NRA supporters are in a tizzy
 

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that gun nuts are exhibiting much more nervousness than usual?

M4 "Saws" in Principal Rambo's office in a glass case with a sign saying "Break Glass in Case of Emergency".

This is very possibly the tipping point and they know it. They've pulled out all the stops, 24/7 Guns 'n' God-palooza! In the past it has just been a holding action, an effort to maintain the status quo, a defensive strategy. This time it's an offensive, finding a "solution" to the problem by increasing the availability of guns, arming everyone. Up to now, that idea has been restricted to the fringe of the fringe. Now it's the right as a whole pushing this. I just hope it doesn't work.

One can only hope that the gun and ammo manufacturers who control the NRA will be scared right now. Allowing the NRP to listen to the majority of their members on a solution to the assault weapons question.


But then again is appears that events like this increase sales.......

...and in the meanwhile Uncle Silas farts and scratches his sack as he sleeps, drunk as a monkey in his ratty ol' recliner, loaded MAC-10 on the table next to an empty bottle o' jack and a pack o' camels. Jimmy Ray, Silases nephew/youngest boy leers at the shiney gun, pickin' his nose, droolin' and thinking now is the time to make the "spider people" who hang out at the bus stop go away---once and for all.

And the voices shout; "GIT IT! GIT'EM, BOY! MAKE THOSE F**KERS PAY! YEEEEEEHAWWWWWW!!!!!! WE GONNA HAVE US A SHOOT OUT JUST LIKE THUH DYUKE IN TRUE GRIT!":rolleyes:

Chit, here we go again.....................

Wow! You in the Holywood mode! :D

I see where th governor of VA wants to arm all the teachers, so now in addition to a degree in teaching you will need certification as a marksman. Dear God has everyone gone mad?

This is one of the tactics I expected. Governorships, mayoralties and school systems under right wing control will implement these insane requirements piecemeal and then dare the federal government to do anything about it.

These maniacs won't go down easily. This is going to be a real mess.

John

It reeks of the early 1990s all over again.

The hope I see would be from the teachers. It's quite possible that the teachers individually and their unions collectively would refuse to agree to becoming armed guards in their own classrooms.

Then there's this: from a practical point of view, being armed in the classroom doesn't really do anything beyond guaranteeing that you'll be the first one shot.

John

Exactly. A person planning a shooting would storm the principal's office first. Whoever carries the element of surprise wins.

We might go crazy like we did after 9/11 and require hardened doors on principals offices. Whatever it takes to make more money.

Our day-to-day life could become moving from safe zone to safe zone. Someone is chomping at the bit to sell all that hardware and security pass services.

Right. Guns in the desk, teacher is at the chalkboard, gunman walks through the door, kills the teacher first (Because he knows the teacher is armed.) then takes out the kids.

Like I said, then lunatic La Pierre will advocate arming six year olds.

Interesting side note; A rightwinger female friend of mine posted to face book that she's found a "bulletproof backpack" online. "It's real cute, it has hearts and unicorns on it." She says. So she's getting a couple for her girls.
She seems to think this is the answer over preventing lunatics from obtaining weapons; "bulletproof clothing".:confused:

I don't know about you, but, i'd rather go after the root cause then have the kids wearing bullet-proof clothing and riding armored bicycles.

These people truly are out of their minds.

And, I'm guessing they contribute to the NRA and vote Republican?;)

Much, much better to just be shot ;)

When the principal realised what was happening, you think she didn't want a gun? Yes she still may have had to lay down her life but she could've ended it with it.

I think we're overreacting. But if we are going to do so the only way to even partially secure the schools is, to secure the schools.

Which btw I largely disagree with.

Pete

No shoes allowed in any public space.

John

Why not, you've disagreed with all the other proposals.:D

Or gun nut parents will send their kids to school strapped. Probably already do.

John

It happened in a school here in Virginia yesterday. A twelve year old showed up for class packing heat.

Of course, this is Virginia. So, you charge the kid and release him to his parents---which is, most likely, where he got the gun. But, Lord knows you never blame the gun owner. They're like businessmen to the rightwinger, they never do anything wrong. It's ALWAYS got to be someone else who is to blame......:rolleyes:

ROTFLMAO!!!! Bam!!

Pete

Blame Richard Bachman (AKA Stephen King)!

String the bastard up...

But wait, The Running Man and The Long Walk will be coming to Fox "reality" next season.......

Fixed that for you, my friend.:) Why do you hate dentists?

My forecast for armed teachers in the classroom. No one will want to do it so it will fall to the one teacher who is thought of as a little different by both staff and students. He will take his new responsibility very seriously. He will clean and shine the gun frothing at the mouth and having a hard on over it. And then one day when he has had it with the kids he will get it out....

As Pogo says, “I have seen the enemy and it is us”.

The NRA would love everyone to be armed! I for one do not want to live in a country with armed guards on every corner to protect me.

Sorry but this NRA thinks a gun will solve all problems. Lets see, on one hand the Right thinks the teachers and staff are qualified to be security, but on the other are little more then over payed baby sitters needing to be replaced by non-union personnel.

Just how much worst does it have to be before the NRA and the extreme Right wakes up to the fact some weapons are just not meant for society.



Barney

I know it's kind cheesy to quote yourself, but I can't believe there were no comments on this. A twelve year old kid has been charged with illegal possession....for toting a gun into his school.

Dave

I read that and it first made me think about insurance coverage. In that your insurance liability will be waved because of lack of control and care in keeping weapons out of the hands of children. Parents should be charged along with child and gun should be melted down!

There was a kid who brought a pistol to school this week in Louisville and pulled it on other students. But was only news for one cycle.

Barney

Blue streak, at the elementary school my sister works at, kids bring weapons (guns and knives mostly) every day. They have armed guards at every entrance that pat down everyone entering the building. They also have guards that escort children to the parking lot to make sure the custodial parent picks them up.
My sister spends more time on security measures than teaching.
The really sad part is that this all seems perfectly normal....

It happens. I agree the parents should be charged. I'm surprised he wasn't expelled for life though.

Pete

Piers Morgan?
 

I think Piers Morgan is an idiot and I never watch his show but these are very good.

After Aurora, CO

After Sandy Hook

John

Does anyone remember that shootout in New York. Trained police shooting and innocent bystanders wounded in the crossfire. Now picture a bunch of sillyvilians who don't even know how to chamber a round out there shooting.

Police should not be allowed to carry guns.

Pete

And, there you have it.

Yep, I agree, John. His repeated showing of Robert Blakes bizarre tyrade was irritating as hell. And, I couldn't shut it off, because it was on in the breakroom where I take lunch.......................

But, he makes excellent arguments when it comes to this. He had the draft dodging Mr. Poopy Pants Nugent cornered and silent for a moment and that's not easy to do.
