John Davidson made the immoral, inhuman agreement that the death of children and many others in mass shootings is the price we must pay for the Second Amendment. "There are more important things than safety." What drugs is John taking for this unhinged insanity?
This defense of the Second Amendment says the slaughter of Americans is merely collateral damage, and the dead are human shields for the Second Amendment purpose of defending our nation and our rights / privileges against an armed invasion or a military-backed tyranny, dictator. Bull shit!
John Davidson proves Dwight Eisenhower right when he said, "A people that (who) values it's privileges above its principles soon loses both."
Dana Loesch? A female Alex Jones. Radio talk show host? The NRA is desperate! Fast talking, false facts NRA beauty queen rep is ugly sick. UNHINGED! Uses "facts" and data to sell guns to unaware buyers.
Funny thing is I agree with Alex Jones and Dana Loesch. We do need new laws. The law doesn't work.
Dana Loesch spouts data, fast, like a semi-auto AR-15 fires bullets, but does she grasp the facts?
NRA Members do not need this insane woman's crap about media loving mass killings!
"‘You’re A Murderer!’: NRA’s Dana Loesch Accused Of Being A Murder Repeatedly During CNN Town Hall"
If these kids are the future of politics, then the future of politics will consist of uninformed children accusing everyone who disagrees with them of being murders and serial killers
Chris Menahan | Information Liberation - February 22, 2018
Awww. Poor baby. Poor Dana. Ms Loesch got booed and her feelings are hurt. Too bad the 17 dead kids cannot be there to console her. Too bad the parents and community cannot console Dana.
Big strong Chris will rescue her, defend her, console her . . . what a nice boy.
"During CNN’s town hall on Wednesday, NRA representative Dana Loesch was repeatedly accused of being a murderer.
From The Wrap:
Shouting started early in the discussion when Loesch tried to compliment the Stoneman Douglas students, who have spoken out about gun control since the shooting last week. Saying that they have shown they could go far in life, an audience member interrupted by shouting, “If they live that long!”
Audience members continued to shout at Loesch as she defended the NRA’s position against gun control. More than once, someone interrupted Loesch by shouting, “You’re a murderer!”
Loesch, who is not a murderer, was accused of being a murderer throughout the event because she supports the Second Amendment.
She was also jeered while telling the story of a rape survivor who wished she was armed so she could have defended herself:
Of course Chris is really smart because he writes stuff, so his conclusion is so very clever.
"If these kids are the future of politics, then the future of politics will consist of uninformed children accusing everyone who disagrees with them of being murders and serial killers."
Not really! What would you do, Chris, when an AR-15is pointed at you and bullets fly?
The "dialogue" has gotten really ugly. A sicko in the stage says the media loves the slaughter!? The way the NRA makes their case is by stoking fear and promoting extremism and hate.
BT THE WAY! Propaganda proof is NRA people twisting the "gun free zone" meaning. "Gun free zone" was established for LEGAL carry where people do not wish law abiding citizens to bring their guns! Saying this is an invitation for killers is stupid. MOST places are gun free you dumb asses!
I say that for NRA and idiot as who argue gun free zones are a feast for killers. That is just stupid. A cartoon that says no mass shootings at gun ranges is comparing apples to oranges. Not to mention there are not "masses" at the range in the first place. There have been shootings at gun ranges, just not mas shootings.
"NRA representative says media ‘loves mass shootings’ as ‘crying white mothers are ratings gold’"
School shooting in Parkland, Florida and its aftermath have drawn heavy media coverage
Jeremy B White San Francisco 22 February 2018 18
"A National Rifle Association spokeswoman accused the media of loving mass shootings because they boost viewership.
“Many in legacy media love mass shootings. You guys love it,” NRA representative Dana Loesch said during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
“I’m not saying you guys love the tragedy but I am saying you love the ratings,” she added. “Crying white mothers are ratings gold”."
Rationalizing a bull shit heartless comment . . . . Sounds like Donald Trump at his biggest bullying moment to me.
"“There are thousands of grieving black mothers in Chicago every weekend and you don’t see town halls for them, do you?” she said."
Really, Ms L., what does color have to do with the timing of the CNN Twon Hall for the latest slaughter?
"“Where’s the CNN town hall for sanctuary cities?” she added, referencing municipalities that limit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities."
What are you saying about Sanctuary Cities Ms L? Sanctuary Cities are safer than other cities, and besides, Parkland is in FL. Where do you want CNN to have a Town Hall?
Idiotic and irrational commentary trying to see itself as reason.
"An outspoken gun rights defender, Ms Loesch has spurred controversy before. She has used charged language to assail the media, warning in a video directed at New York Times journalists that “we’re coming for you” and threatening a “shot across your proverbial bow”."
We see Ms. L''s defense of guns way off point. She sounds like the next nut case to bring a gun to school!
"Dana Loesch: Media Love ‘Ratings Gold’ From Mass Shootings"

"National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch said the media “love mass shootings” because they are “ratings gold,” in remarks at the 2018 Conservative Political Action Conference. Speaking to the media the morning after she appeared on CNN’s town-hall forum with student survivors, teachers, and families of last week’s Florida school shooting, Loesch said that “many in legacy media love mass shootings. I’m not saying you love the tragedy but you love the ratings, because crying white mothers are ratings gold... If it bleeds, it leads, doesn’t it?”"
"Unnatural Born Killers: Slaughter of American innocence"
What is really at the root of madness of regular gun violence in the United States?
by Hamid Dabashi 20 Feb 2018
First, the sadly NOT uncommon stupid Evangelical commentary:
". . . Christian radio host, Bryan Fischer, had publicly declared that "God allows school shootings like the one that claimed 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, because there is not enough prayer in public schools." Mr Fischer believes: "I suggest we have mass school shootings because we don't have enough God on our campuses.""
Wow! Wow! Pray and God will not kill you? What about mass shooting in a church WHILE THEY PRAYED!?
Tell me this Christian excuse is not true! It is incredibly stupid to say God is an ass-hole and claim you are a Christian!
A movie can be blamed . . . but that ignores so many more facts and influences . . .
"In Oliver Stone's frightful classic, Natural Born Killers (1994), we watch in horror the story of two merciless murderers, Mickey Knox and Mallory Wilson Knox, themselves victims of abusive childhoods, becoming media celebrities as they go on a rampage, slaughtering people in an orgy of senseless, vicious, and remorseless violence."
More.
"It turns out the mass murderer in Florida high school was not a "natural born killer" but, in fact, a methodically trained killer - trained by the US army, through their Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) marksmanship program in high schools, funded in part by grants from the National Rifle Association Foundation (NRA)."
More.
"In other words, Nikolas Cruz was being trained to go kill people in Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere else in Asia, Africa, or Latin America. But the young man was just too impatient and began slaughtering people in his own neighbourhood. "
More.
"As an institution committed to assuring the ready availability of weapons of mass murder in the market, NRA is deeply rooted in American polity. In an opinion piece published soon after yet another mass school shooting, the New York Times publicised the names of top US "lawmakers" actively on the payroll of the NRA. Senator John McCain of Arizona has received more than $7m, Senator Richard Burr close to $7m, Senators Roy Blunt and Thom Tillis each almost $5m apiece. The list goes on.
These lawmakers are paid handsomely to make sure no gun control legislation is passed in the US Congress that might lead to reducing the risks of such mass murders. What sane society will ever harbour such wanton disregard for human decency? This is no divine dispensation. This is human corruption."
We are a sad, sick country, too gun crazy to see that as values diminish, as empathy is drained away, and as bullying becomes normalized,
"There is another, even more deep-rooted aspect to these epidemic mass murders in the US. It is in the global warmongering of the US that has its domestic consequences, too. This is what Malcom X meant when he said "Chicken coming home to roost" when John F. Kennedy was assassinated."
More.
"There is a structural link between gun violence inside the US and US/Israel warmongering around the globe - these children who were just gunned down in Florida are identical in their defenseless innocence to Iraqi children at the receiving end of George W. Bush's invasion of their country, to Yemenis at the mercy of the US-supplied Saudi army, to Palestinians at the mercy of the Israeli military, to Rohingya Muslims being murdered by the Myanmar army supplied by Israel.
There is nothing wrong with people praying to their God for mercy on this earth. But the answer to these obscene massacres in US schools and colleges is not more prayers at schools - for these mass murderers have targeted innocent churchgoers reading Bible in a church, too."
Great point here! Read this!
"The answer is much simpler: Stop manufacturing and selling arms in the US and around the globe, change the military logic of global and regional domination, reduce the rhetoric and stop arming nefarious regimes like those of Saudi Arabia and Israel, work towards a global nuclear disarmament, do not elect insane thugs like Trump or stealth warmongers like Obama as your presidents, ban the sale of any and all forms of guns ... Put Neanderthal Republican NRA stooges in a heavily guarded iron cage and inside a zoo for people to watch from a safe distance."
FIX THE SECOND AMENDMENT!
"This amendment, historians tell us, was originally ratified to preserve slavery. "The real reason the Second Amendment was ratified . . ." we now know, "was to preserve the slave patrol militias in the southern states, which was necessary to get Virginia's vote ... In Georgia, for example, a generation before the American Revolution, laws were passed in 1755 and 1757 that required all plantation owners or their male white employees to be members of the Georgia Militia, and for those armed militia members to make monthly inspections of the quarters of all slaves in the state.""
America is a confused, cruel country.
