Sometimes I think all this gun control stuff is going to make my head explode from all the stupid comments made in public. Sunday's Washington Post opinions page contained one titled, "Mass Shootings: An Issue for White Men".
The premise was that African American men and boys, and women and girls are not committing mass shootings. That it is a white man's issue that should be addressed by asking why.
The female author of the article also pointed out that the NRA was run by white males. You know you can't talk about gun control without a dig at the NRA so I know she was happy to be able to work that into the article.
She must have forgot to include the little white boy who made a gun out of a Pop Tart at school. What can we do as a society to turn that pop tart into a cute animal the next time someone gets an imagination while eating a tasty treat????????????????

Agenda driven propaganda, a.k.a. flat out lies.
Anyone with an open mind and a willingness to learn can easily research the racist roots of gun control and how the NRA has defended the rights of minorities. But hey, what does the truth matter anymore?

BUCHANAN T...O OBAMA
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America .. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.. Jeremiah Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??
Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago. This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear!!!
I'm for a better America…
I am
Not racist,
Not violent,
Just not silent anymore.
The racism by white "Progressive" Democrats against blacks, Japanese, & Italians is a matter of historical record.
Most of the original (and despicably unconstitutional) firearms laws were enacted within various States in the 1800's to restrict firearms ownership from freed slaves, or regulate which types of firearms existing slaves could possess under the authority of their owners. Some States passed shameless laws banning pistol ownership favoring shotguns and rifles for use by their "trusted" plantation help, while others felt that pistols were ok, but that a slave couldn't be trusted with long guns, as they were more suitable for use against the owners.
Not much has changed, only they view us all as slaves now, regardless of skin color. From that context, as mostly Irish organized crime syndicates had taken over city councils, police chiefs, waste management, & school boards in the North East & Chicago, they were threatened by waves of Italian immigrants in the early 1900's, so they passed illegal city ordinances banning the ownership of suitable personal defense weapons like the Browning Vest Pocket pistol & other handguns, stiletto, and black jack club, while issuing permits for their henchmen to continue to run the racketeering and extortion beats they controlled, often with police muscle "off duty".
After Prohibition, FDR appointed 2 proud members of the KKK to the Nation's highest Court, both of whom helped legitimize the racial targeting of Americans of Japanese & Italian decent who were fully integrated and dedicated to the United States. My wife's grandpa was of Italian decent, and we still have the radio that was neutered of its components, as FDR's regime banned Italians from having them, fearing they might be reporting secretly back to Italy. Her grandpa served faithfully in the Army Air Corps, and was 100% American through & through. The Americans of Japanese decent suffered a much greater fate under Democrat Progressive FDR.
To this day, Justice Hugo Black is slavishly worshiped by the few Progressives that still are even interested in history, despite the fact that he filibustered Republican Civil Rights legislation to ban lynching when he was a Senator. As an attorney, he defended a murderer who killed a Catholic Priest, and openly campaigned against the Catholic Church with much hatred. He was a huge supporter of FDR's attempts to pack the Supreme Court with rubber-stamp stooges for the Progressive agenda.
So yeah, I think we should have a real conversation about how the Progressive Party & its co-opting of the Democrat Party has used race as a weapon, while being guilty of our Nation's most egregious racial crimes, with the continued blood on its hands of millions of blacks who it keeps in poverty and ignorance in inner city schools.

If she wants to address why it is white men and 1 Asian man that do these mass shootings then we must address the reasons for the ridiculously high murder rates in inner cities and urban areas and the black on black murders. I'm sure that they will make that come around and be about white men as well.
Of course everything is my fault. Meanwhile in the 'hood they pop each other one at a time. I wonder what the tally is for the month?

Well done again LRRPF52. Tyrants always have to demonize another group whether it is race , religion, or a group of like minded people. This seems to work on the low informed, ignorant segments of societies. They have to instill fear, anger and most of all hatred to obtain complete power and control. The hypocrisy is always ignored or down played like conservative blacks in this country. Freedom, justice and the truth has always been the hated obstacles of wanna be dictators. This is why our Bill of Rights are always under attack.
Well Jedi mind tricks dont work on thse of us with an IQ over 10. Im tired of all this crap! Our Country is imploding as we speak, the UN voted overwhelmingly in favor of The UN sponsored Small Arms Treaty. Its official we're in the middle of a hostile take over, my memories take me back to the early Eighties and the Rush Album called 2112 and what I remember most is the end of the album "We have assumed control, we have assumed control, we have assumed control" WTF?
I miss Ronald Reagan.................. Our leaders are to trying to make us weak at home and abroad. Do anyone here think that Reagan would let a foreign leader threaten us with a nuclear attack and let it go as saber rattling? Wouldn't the Chinese love to see us have to turn in all our "assault rifles"? If we didn't have Republican control of the House we would have no hope. I think the only way this country gets back on track is to have term limits but don't know how since they aren't going to vote themselves out of office.

The American people must rise up and demand it. I'd like to think we'll be able to accomplish this peacefully, but I don't see how that's possible with Washington being saturated with criminals.

It is not blacks who are the enemy, it is "progressives", which is the most inappropriately used word in politics, because they are not progressive, they are regressive!
Dr. Ben Carson has it 100% correct:
“They need to shut me up, they need to get rid of me,” Dr. Carson said, as reported in Newsmax. “They can’t find anything else to delegitimize me so they take my words, misinterpret them and try to make it seem that I’m a bigot.”
Mr. Levin asked: "And what about white liberals — how do they treat you?"
“They’re the most racist people there are because they put you in a little category, a box,” Dr. Carson said. “How could you dare come off the plantation?”
Bill Cosby has pointed out the same things. They both then are called "Uncle Toms" because they point out the obvious.
Liberals don't want truth or facts, they don't fit the agenda.

Did they also mention that these white men were also very left wing? The columbine shooters were too young to vote but both sets of parents were democrats and progressive liberals. The virgina tech shooter wrote hate mail to bush and was a registered democrat. The colorado theater shooter was a registered democrat, worked on the Obama campaign and a member of occupy wall street. The connecticut shooter was a registered democrat.

Which brings up a fairly common question among gun bloggers: Why are liberals so violent?
They constantly threaten, to the point of thousands of threatening calls to the NRA, to anyone opposing their views on guns, etc.
