This is a good example of why News Presentat5ion isn’t a democratic task and it should be left to experts and organisations which can responsibly carry out the task.
First off, he begins this with the rather over used "Obama is going to confiscate all private firearms"--despite the fact that he has been president for well over 5 years and gun laws have gotten less restrictive.
I think he's a close chum to Alex Jones (remember his performance on the BBC's Sunday Politics Show? No, then go here www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-urAFSeJ-A.
To quote Andrew Neil: "We have an idiot on our programme".
It used to be that people went to asylums to laugh at the lunatics, then the lunatics discovered shortwave radio.
Now, they have invaded the internet.
It's not a safe place to be if you lack critical thinking skills. And we will now see the comment section filled with examples of the Dunning-Kruger Effect: especially from Orlin and Greg.
"And we will now see the comment section filled with examples of the Dunning-Kruger Effect" ----- Says the Limey who is constantly berating us Colonials about our gun laws. You really can not make this stuff up.
Yeah, it's almost as funny as the article a while back by a British ex-pat who was chastising the Republicans for being too libertarian and told them they should be more like the Tories.
I think that was the most delicious, copious load of irony I'd ever seen in my life.
Obama cant do anything about confiscating guns on his own Laci, but he did try to pass laws as soon as he was re-elected that the end result would result in some confiscation. Luckily he failed. He didn't attempt anything in his first term, no president would because he wants re-election. That lame duck term is dangerous for the country.
The talk of a civil uprising, armed conflict and so on has made national news, more than once. Public polls and so on continue. If this wasn't such a big deal, NOBODY would be talking about it including you Laci. These politicians KNOW they are not representing their people, they KNOW that they are going to cause a conflict by trying to rule over them. They KNOW this is a representative republic, not a socialist government. They KNOW that what they are trying to achieve is not how or why this country founded. And because they KNOW this, they are afraid of the people, as well as they should be. That's WHY there is all this delay and excuse making in their law writing to get the arms away from people in the first place, so that the people cant hold the government in check.
The government KNOWS they are doing the wrong thing or they wouldn't be afraid. Why else would they be?
I needed a good laugh today. Anyhoo, we're sure as shootin' confiscating 'em out here in California jest as fast as we can get 'em! Yahoo! We're comin' after your guns next! So y'all keep right on practicing at them thar target ranges and buy jest as much ammunition as you can possibly afford! You're gonna need every last bullet. Yessiree Bob! A-ROO-HAHHH!
"Confiscation" in the extreme sense that this lunatic uses it is never gonna happen. Therefore, the question of civil war resulting from attempts to confiscate guns is purely academic. We did have a little glimpse into the answer though. The 200 individual confiscations for FOID Card revocations in Illinois resulted in NO ARMED RESISTANCE.
Now, what can we make of that? I'd say the gun-rights blowhards who keep talking about "molon labe" are all talk and no action. When push comes to shove, they fold because they were just talking a good game and really didn't have the courage to back it up.
There are exceptions, but by and large, this describes them.

I should also add that people like Christopher Greene, Alex Jones, The NRA engage in pure propaganda by playing to the emotion of FEAR!
DeleteNo, you shouldn't.

Laci, the Dunning-Kruger Effect applies to you, as you demonstrate repeatedly.
ReplyDeleteIs the man in the video crazy? Yes. Is Obama making it hard for rational people to defend his actions? Yes.
Thanks Mike,
