Liberals Panic As They
Lose the Gun Narrative

Townhall, by Kurt Schlichter

Original Article

Posted By:Judy W., 12/26/2012 7:43:54 PM

When you argue for a living, you can tell how an argument is going for you. The evidence and my gut both tell me that the liberals have lost control of the gun control narrative. Not for lack of trying – it was almost as if they were poised to leap into action across the political, media and cultural spectrum the second the next semi-human creep shot up another “gun free zone.” This was their big opening to shift the debate and now it’s closing. They’ve lost, and they are going nuts.

Comments:
Yessss! Read the anecdotes at the end about the liberal L.A. ladies.

Wow the LA ladies comments are awesome. I think it´s one of those things you get at a gut level. If you have the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, you have the inalienable right to protect those freedoms.

The liberals are all alike; if they do not want to do something, then by damn no one else should do it either. Most Hollywood liberals have armed guards who carry real guns, but they do not want you to own a gun. 0bama wants "to get serious about gun control," but he sends his daughters to a very expensive private school that employs several armed guards .... who are armed with REAL guns. Let´s be honest about this debate.

Gun free zones have worked out so well in colleges, malls, high schools and now firest grade classes that lieberals want everyone to live in one. People with such little ability for rational thought (lieberalls) are more the problem than the actual perpetrators as they set the stage for disaster and learn not from experience.

That´s a new bill being proposed to charge ~$50/year to get a permit to buy ammunition in CA.

I don´t.

This is a good thing to read in a time when most of the news is bad.
I´m still not ready to stand down though. The door may be strong enough to hold the wolf back this time, but the wolf is still out there.

Maintain vigilance. These Libtard Cockroaches are worse than their namesakes. Just when you think the threat is eliminated, one or two more sneak out from the woodwork to do their damage.

Liberals know (instinctively, bringing on self hatred) that they are unable to articulate a scenario whereby any one or more gun laws would have save those innocent little angels from the utterly puny, snot-swigging demon who killed them, one trigger pull at a time.

No, they only wish that a unicorn could have swooped in and saved those beautiful, God-loved children, with police (yes, give them credit nonetheless) a mere 20 minutes from the scene.

That is what liberals instinctively know -- but are unwilling to acknowledge -- so they rage.

The gun banners of the MSM have no problems stepping on the 1st Amendment rights of talk radio, the conservative blogosphere, and real Christians who want to follow Jesus´ rules like not killing babies. That they attack the 2nd Amendment is without question, they also attack the 5th amendment because they want to take private property.

BTW, they also deceive because their solutions would not stop a determined killer from slaughtering defenseless children.

The simple minded belief that laws can prevent horrid acts by deranged individuals is another example of the idiocy that comes with worship of the State.

Look down the road, totalitarian stooges. Are you willing to pay the price to remove firearms from the hands of millions of free men? Do you have a clue what will happen?

Nothing new there. What "narrative" have liberals ever won? The fact that they´ve worsened every societal problem or dysfunction that they´ve ever tried to address doesn´t seem to discourage them in the least.

Having said that, this is one Rubican that they had better not cross. We´re playing for keeps this time.

BTW, if you´re on Twitter and not following Kurt, you should be.

by the way re the quote from EJ Dionne that NRA remarks are supposedly obscene - has anybody else noticed that the Donks now use the word obscene for everything except obscenity? I think we use a lot of words they wish they were allowed to use. So they just misuse them.

Every two years all the Congressional representatives, and 1/3 of the Senate, must face an election to keep their jobs. Many of those folks are Democrats who represent States where after you vote for any sort of a firearms ban you become unelectable.

I believe that the Democrats have to defend 14 Senate seats next time around, and you can bet that a bunch of those seats are in States that do not favor more gun control. If those Democrats vote for gun control, the chances are good that the Republicans could become the majority in the Senate after the next election, and if the Republicans also maintain their majority in the House of Representatives, Obama will have a two year lame duck period where he will not get anything through the Congress. You better believe that the Democrats remember what happened to them the last time they pushed gun control.

What the Congress should do is make it harder for dangerous mentally ill people to get their hands on any class of firearms as that´s where the problem lies.

What with tyrant barry in the White House, maniac mental killer males on the loose, and the economy so bad; why having a gun just makes plain sense.


Reply 16 - Posted by: Muggins, 12/27/2012 2:54:23 AM     (No. 9085212)

Banning guns would result in the underground selling the guns. It´s supply and demand. And that would empower the gangs even more, and more people would be shot down, gang style. More politicians and cops and judges on the mob payroll. If guns are banned from the legal economy, the country would become more violent.

The concept of foreseeability in lawsuits has been watered down to the point where your liability ca nbe based on pure lunacy."They should have known" is a favorite among class action shakedown trial lawyers boards.

A lawyer in a diaper could run with the foreseeability in the Sandy Hook shootings putting the town at risk for huge payouts.They would be un insurable after that.

This is what´s going to drive decisions on security guards so it´s the left defeating itself.

Our rights were not granted by Congress. God granted them to us. The Founding Fathers constantly invoked God while preparing and writing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. No one should be allowed to modify or limit these rights. No metrosexual TV news show host, no mayor of Boston or New York, no Senator from California or New York, no Vice President from Delaware. These individuals will soon pass from the American scene, however, our God-given rights will never vanish as long as America exists. These rights are worth fighting and dying for.

Those hundreds and hundreds of men, women and children in Mexico have died in vain from the guns obama sold to the mexican drug cartels....

That is how a liberal would think as obama and his eggheads came up with the idea of MURDERING as many people as possible as an excuse to take guns away from everyone - except themselves of course.

Good points all, especially #8, 12, and 19. Would like to know what further laws would prevent deranged individuals from acquiring guns, though. Would people need to go through a battery of government shrink-administered tests??? That´ll do ´er!

If banks were really smart, they would put up signs that said "No bank robbery allowed at this bank. Robbers go away."

Homes could have signs that said: "No home invasions, burglary, theft, rape or assault allowed here. Go away or we´ll call the police. They will be here in 15 or 20 minutes so you better watch out."

This should work out just fine. Don´t worry about anything. We have laws to stop bad people. You´re really not shot dead, you just think you are. Works every time.

An idea so crazy it just might … Opponents and supporters of “comprehensive immigration reform” (i.e. amnesty) agree it doesn’t do well on the front burner of public debate. (Snip) Back in March, I didn’t see how the Obama team, however brilliant, was going to protect its amnesty bill from this threat of publicity, given that the mainstream press was “commmitted to overcovering this issue.” Now we know the answer! In its most fiendish strategem yet, Team Obama has launched a series of not-quite-devastating but press-obsessing scandals against itself!

My American Enterprise Institute colleague Charles Murray came to the defense of our former colleague Jason Richwine, who was fired by the Heritage Foundation amid protests about his Harvard Ph.D. thesis, on nationalreview.com. Charles was entirely accurate in stating that Richwine’s conclusion that Hispanics have lower-than-average IQs is accurate and, among specialists in this area, non-controversial. Richwine was careful to say that the average Hispanic IQ might rise over time, as has been observed of other groups’ average IQs. And the Heritage Foundation paper co-authored by Richwine estimating the fiscal cost of legalizing current illegal immigrants

Obamacare isn´t about health

Members of the House of Representatives are scheduled to vote Thursday to repeal all of Obamacare. Given that the House voted to repeal the law last year, some commentators and observers have questioned the need for another repeal vote. However, the scandals coming to light over the last week perfectly make the case for why Congress must eradicate the law from the statute books. (Snip) While we don´t yet know all the details about these scandals, we do know that the IRS grossly abused its power at a time when Obamacare grants it massive new authority.

You know the worm has turned when even MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow hold their noses at the stench from Barack Obama’s scandals — when so many stories from the so-called liberal press now describe the erstwhile Messiah as “aloof,” “arrogant” and “holier than thou.” (Snip) The same media types accused of covering Obama on bended knee — such as myself — are now turning our collective backs. And no wonder. What we’re learning about his administration has undermined our basic trust in government. Yet the president seems oblivious to how serious and unsettling these scandals are,

BELCHERTOWN, Mass. — Testing done on water samples from the Quabbin Reservoir showed no abnormalities after seven people were seen at a reservoir park entrance shortly after midnight, officials said Wednesday. The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority said water quality samples were analyzed at its lab Tuesday and all came back normal after the alleged trespassing incident. The central Massachusetts reservoir supplies drinking water to Boston. State police spokesman David Procopio said a trooper saw two cars parked at a reservoir park entrance at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, then saw five young men and two young women

Soros Gave $6.1 Million to
Groups Linked to Pressure on IRS

With Soros funding, anything is possible. The growing scandal where the IRS unfairly targeted politically-conservative groups can be traced back to a lobbying effort begun by George Soros-funded liberal groups in 2010, after the Supreme Court´s Citizens United ruling. The talking points of these groups then bounced around a carefully created progressive "echo chamber," until they eventually made their way into established media outlets. Key IRS policy changes about how it investigated conservative groups took place soon after it received three separate letters sent by Soros-funded liberal organizations.

Are you a real man (or woman)? Do you have "grit"? Compare yourself to the man on the $20 bill: Andrew Jackson, our seventh president. During the Revolutionary War, Jackson volunteered to fight. He was just 13 years old at the time. The British captured him and made him a servant for British officers. (Snip) Jackson had grit. Do your kids have that much grit today? I doubt it. Parents now try to protect kids from all danger. In New York City, some won´t let teenagers go to school by themselves. Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids, thinks that´s absurd.

Officials on Benghazi:

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

IRS sued for seizing 60

A healthcare provider has sued the Internal Revenue Service and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans. The name of the provider is not yet known, United Press International said. But Courthouse News Service said the suit claims the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges. The search warrant did not specify that the IRS could take medical information, UPI said.
