NRA Sets it's targets Obama's children

[ms maggie]

I think it is a fair question about the armed guards in schools while his children receive the same.

His children have SS protection. Not because he's an elitist. Because he's President of the United States. And yes Virginia, that means his kids get special treatment.

And the increased membership: that's according to who? Oh yeah, the NRA. Look at the poll data sonny.

In our lifetimes the children of every president have had around-the-clock protection from the Secret Service. Is the NRA trying to say that every other child in America should get the same protection from the government? Equating a president's family with regular families is utterly stupid.

The NRA did not shoot those children and adults in Sandy Hook.

What exactly does the NRA do? Why do people and gun/ammunition manufactures give them boat loads of money?

They have blood on their hands, and obviously they are rolling around in it now.

The public mostly disagrees with the NRA

Full disclosure - I didn't read the OP's articles.

Regardless of where one stands on gun control, it would be painfully obvious that the 1st Family would need protection from armed Secret Service.

As for armed guards in my kid's school, I have many questions like what training will these people have? What does the school currently do to protect the kids? Of course I want my kid protected, but I also don't want Dirty Harry in there. I think skeptism at the idea of armed guards in schools is fine. It just needs to be discussed more.

Are Baltimore City's school security already armed?

True but their responses to the shooting have ranged from insensitive to absurd...

[Mom49of4]

The reactions by the lawmakers has been equally absurd.

The anger of the hoplophobes increases with each post.

This is about the NRA. Lawmakers saying stupid things isn't new...

[Creekman]

It's a fair question to you, because you hate Obama. Always have, always will.

Your agenda is crystal clear.

I agree.

[Mom49of4]

I hate no one.

Really? Senator McCain's response to the issue was a flat "NO".

LOL. Pitiful.

A Utah gun-rights group has an eye out for hoplophobes.

Never heard of hoplophobia? Most people haven't. The made-up word to describe people who fear guns hasn't caught on. Not even longtime gun enthusiasts are familiar with the term.

"We lead the state in sales, but we've never heard that," said Norman Van Wagenen, whose family has been in the firearms business in Provo since 1958.

The Utah Shooting Sports Council is trying to get hoplophobia into the local vernacular as well as the often bitter gun rights debate.

Quote

Firearms authority and writer Jeff Cooper claims to have coined the word in 1962 to describe what he called a "mental aberration consisting of an unreasoning terror of gadgetry, specifically, weapons." [7] The term was constructed from the Greek ὅπλον - hoplon, meaning amongst others "arms,"[8] and φόβος - phobos, meaning "fear."[9] Although not a mental health professional, Cooper employed the term as an alternative to other slang terms, stating: "We read of 'gun grabbers' and 'anti-gun nuts' but these slang terms do not [explain this behavior]." Cooper attributed this behavior to an irrational fear of firearms and other forms of weaponry. Cooper's opinion was that "the most common manifestation of hoplophobia is the idea that instruments possess a will of their own, apart from that of their user."[7] Writing in an opinion piece, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review columnist Dimitri Vassilaros asserted that the term was intended by Cooper as tongue-in-cheek to mock those who think guns have free will.

Real classy NRA real classy.

I'm sure they've lost a few more Senators and Congress after this.

This situation is now getting deep, personal. But this tactic is nothing new for the right wing. Ad hominem comments and remarks by right-wing conservatives are staples in all of their media outlets, whether print, radio, television, or, especially, on the internet. It’s what they do.

When they finally realize that they are not winning a particular argument or issue; when they see finally that people just simply do not accept or believe their continual myth-making, and are prepared to ignore, if not punish them for their continued irrationality – they resort to personal attack.
This is what they have done, for example, in reaction to Gen. Colin PowellColin Powell’s recent dressing down of the whole party. Republicans paid no attention whatever to what the general was actually saying. They simply refused to hear his prescriptions for re-shaping and eventual regeneration of the party and its ideas. Instead, they attacked him personally as being a “tool” of the “Democrat” Party, a RINO (Republican In Name Only), and a serial “race card” player.

And so it is with this latest attack by the NRA. The NRA pretends not to know that this president has received three times as many death threats as any other president in the history of the position. They pretend not to know that large swaths of their multi-million member organization are out-and-out racists and white supremacists who would consider it an honorable feat to “take out” this president and/or his family. They pretend not to know that there are thousands, if not millions, of people who are seriously discussing secession from the union ala’ 1860-style. And, we know what happened following that little adventure.

And so, this video may ultimately backfire on the NRA (pun intended). In any event, the covers have been pulled all the way off these folks. But still, the president must “stand his ground” and face down the NRA and its supporters. He must know that the country is behind him on this matter; and that soon the National Rifle Association (and its most dangerous members) will be relegated to the “dustbin of history.”

I always knew the NRA was a conservative leaning organization but I also knew they have given money to liberal concerns.

Now they are far right wing nut jobs who seem to be melting down right before our eyes.

What word wasn't "made up"?

[georjec2]

You three amigos and your propagnada campaign are a hoot. It ain't working. In fact you people and your ilk are the reason for the surge in gun sales and increasing NRA membership. Too funny.



NRA: Membership Has Grown by 250,000 in One Month

Have you found the story about how many members have left the NRA ? Propaganda campaign ??? Perhaps it is you who have been propagandized.

Do you think Noah Pozner's mother is a victim of propaganda ?

It's so funny it's sad.
