Fear of gun control drives big
crowd at Ladson gun show

Post & Courier [Charleston, SC], by Andrew Knapp

Original Article

LADSON--As Jason Mele watched people peering down the sights of Mossbergs, Bushmasters and Remingtons, he couldn’t deny that something felt different this time.[Snip]But the sentiment that drove people to the Exchange Park fairgrounds--a fear that politicians will strip Americans of their firearms after 26 people were slain at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School--was palpable Saturday, which likely went down as the most attended show in its history. This time, it could actually happen, many said. The enthusiasts cited changing times in which Washington lawmakers devise laws despite widespread disapproval. They pointed to President Barack Obama’s health care bill.

Comments:
Those businesses selling ammunition (including WalMart and KMart) areound here are limiting purchases of ammunition to three boxes. If they have any left, that is, and none of the places we visited yesterday had any of the most popular ammunition. Strange to see so many bare shelves in this (former) land of plenty.

Oh--we found two gun shops that have closed since last year.

Last night I had read that NBC/Comcast has denied advertising space to local gun dealers here in Michigan. Apparently a new policy they enacted on the 8th of this month. I won´t know until tomorrow if they are also denying cable services to these dealers, but rumor has it that they are. This isn´t just gun grabbing, this is like total control.

Gunshows all over the country are seeing record numbers. Some may think it is due to paranoia. I don´t think so. The people have good reason to fear what is happening in Wash DC and many state capitals.

#2 pretty well nails it. The current administration has *never* acted in line with the ´will of the majority´. Ever...be it health care legislation, or now ´gun control´.

If nothing else, the absolute *stampedes* to gun/ammo dealers - if reported on accurately by media - would be pretty clear evidence to the country that the *majority* of Americans don´t have issues with private gun ownership, as the ´paranoid elites´ do. The same elites largely protected by armed security - who would *not* give that security up after ´enlightened laws´ were passed - bet on that.

It´s fairly obvious that the main ´gun problem´ in the US isn´t hardware related - it´s *thug* related. Unfortunately, far too many of these thugs hold government office.

Face it libtards - law abiding Americans will *not* be disarmed - and you bozos trying to *change* the definition of law-abiding will come back and bite you on the arse.

Kindly note that the "police", doj, fema, dhs and other feral gov.nyet regime brown shirters are sporting full auto "assault" rifles with many "big" magazines and most often standing in front of a tank, machine gun or guns armored vehicle, attack aircraft, armed drones, cap aircraft, flame throwers, or other banned to the public methods of "crowd control".
These wonders are brought to you with taxpayer blood.
You subjects only need scissors or a smile.

#1, doesn´t a federal broadcasting license prevent NBC from denying someone from advertising? Are they allowed to discriminate like that? As long as an ad is legal and doesn´t break any laws, how can the arbitrarily deny the ad?


Reply 6 - Posted by: Susannah, 2/17/2013 12:34:07 PM     (No. 9181629)

#5, for the same reason that a Christian-owned broadcasting network could refuse to take ads for an abortion clinic or a gay bar.


Reply 7 - Posted by: LudicrousSextus, 2/17/2013 12:39:38 PM     (No. 9181636)

But - Susannah - as has been demonstrated time and again - let one of those ´religious´ groups try and turn down business from a ´moral´ viewpoint...

And every liberal blood-sucking ´law´ group in proximity goes after ´em, generally with an eye on ´out of court settlements´ known in the real world as ´extortion´.

You´ll pardon me - but when the letters ´NBC´ appeared *anywhere* in association with the name ´Al Sharpton´, their credibility blew out the window bigtime.

Gun control, ´health care´, immigration, Israel, this administration has made it clear damn the torpedoes- full steam ahead in their efforts to transform this country into the country they wish to see. They have never believed they answer to We, The People. They rule and most feel this is their moment.

The US will engage in its first formal direct talks with the Taliban on Thursday, according to officials, in a milestone on the road to peace after more than a decade of war. The first meeting will take place in Doha, the Qatari capital, after the Taliban opened their first official overseas office and Washington dropped its long-standing demand that the movement renounce ties with al-Qaeda. "The US will have its first formal meeting with the Taliban, and indeed first meeting with the Taliban for several years, in a couple of days in Doha," a senior official with

LE BOURGET, France—Boeing Co. won major orders from five customers for a stretched-out version of its popular 787 Dreamliner jet at the Paris Air Show Tuesday, further evidence of a strengthening market for more expensive long-haul jets. Boeing announced the formal launch of its 787-10 program at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday and says it already has commitments for 102 jets from five customers: Air Lease Corp., Singapore Airlines, United Airlines, International Airlines Group and GE Capital Aviation Services.

Nato has handed over security for the whole of Afghanistan for the first time since the Taliban were ousted in 2001. At a ceremony in Kabul, President Hamid Karzai said that from Wednesday "our own security and military forces will lead all the security activities". Observers say the best soldiers in the Afghan army are up to the task but there are lingering doubts about some. International troops will remain in Afghanistan until the end of 2014, providing military back-up when needed. The ceremony came shortly after a suicide bomb attack in western Kabul killed three employees of the Afghanistan

The Obamas never miss an opportunity to mingle with the stars and during a two-day trip in Dublin, who better to have lunch with than iconic Irish rocker and philanthropist Bono? First Lady Michelle along with daughters Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, started Tuesday with an hour-long visit to picturesque Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains--but the two girls looked like they would have rather slept in at their luxury hotel. Glendalough is famous for its Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin, the hermit priest. After appearing less than thrilled on Monday while viewing Medieval manuscripts

Obama under fire as he turns
the G8 Summit in Ireland into

President Obama may be earning the favor of his Irish ancestors by attending the G8 conference with his family but it is stirring the ire of American taxpayers outraged by the cost of the trip. The two-day trip around the Republic is expected to cost U.S. taxpayers more than $5.2million. [Snip] This two-day trip is likely to cost double that amount taking into account that his daughters now need a security detail and the family have split up into two locations. For this trip, Air Force One arrived at Aldergrove International Airport, 20 miles north of the city

Undercover video shot in May by a conservative activist shows two corporate distributors of free cell phones handing out the mobile devices to people who have promised to sell them for drug money, to buy shoes and handbags, to pay off their bills, or just for extra spending cash. The ´Obama phone,´ which made its ignominious YouTube debut outside a Cleveland, Ohio presidential campaign event last September, is a project of the Federal Communications Commission´s ´Lifeline´ program, which makes land line and mobile phones available to Americans who meet low-income requirements. Lifeline was a $2.19 billion program in 2012.

Frustrated by an increase in petty crime, residents of an Oregon neighborhood have decided to arm themselves instead of calling the police. Residents of a Jennings Lodge neighborhood in Clackamas county, Ore., have put up fliers advertising their new policy, calling themselves the ´Glock Block´, according to KOIN News. ´This is a Glock Block,´ the fliers read. ´We don´t call 911.´ Along with some of her neighbors, Coy Toloman has put up the fliers and gotten a concealed carry permit with the hopes of deterring criminals. While the increase in neighborhood crime is mostly petty, with incidents of vandalism

Edward Snowden Is In The

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Who is he? Obama keeps allies,

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
