Gun Tweets of the Day: Terrorists, Hell…Blame the NRA

We’re still endeavoring to determine if Celeste Leibowitz is related to Fawn (ban kilns!). Whatever the case, in the wake of this morning’s shootouts and manhunt, twitchy.com‘s compiled a few first blush tweets from those who would blame the NRA for rain on the fourth of July. In this case, Celeste seems troubled by the bipartisan group of Senators who defeated the Manchin-Toomey background check amendment Wednesday. Not that 60+ votes would have done one damned thing to save the MIT policeman who was murdered by one of the Chechnyan bombers anyway. But facts like that can be so inconvenient when you’re emoting.

  1. I really try to understand people like this points of view, but I honestly just cannot wrap my mind around. I don’t get it. I understand how the liberal mindset works. I just really don’t get it lol. But what is there to understand, these are the same people that blame inanimate objects for evil acts. *shrugs shoulders*

  2. “Now imagine a few thousand armed Americans resisting government tyranny. What are the odds that militarized police could hunt them down?”

    I like to think that when TSHTF the hunter will become the hunted.

  3. Once again blaming the NRA for something that doesn’t have sh*t to do with it. By her logic, Honda is the reason for a drunk driver hitting a tree and dyeing.

  4. And has she noticed that DiFeinstein’s “assault weapon ban” was voted DOWN by a Senate vote of 60-40 against? (Not mentioned in most media reports.) Sounds as if a whole bunch of Democrat Senators should share the blame with the NRA , Celeste.

  5. Just minutes ago, at 9:15 a.m. mst, ABC news reported that there are 9,000 police officers involved in this manhunt, not counting Armed forces personnel. Yes, and the Blackhawk helicopters are now landed. For real, this is no joke. The ABC newsman sounds shocked. “They’re landing in the parking lot of the Best Buy!”

    How bizarre.

  6. Odds that the gun used was registered or properly permitted under my home state’s draconian laws: 0.00000000000000000001%. I’ll eat my words if I’m wrong. But I won’t be.

  7. Entire city on lock down with 10,000 heavily armed Police State Thugs looking for 1 guy…can you say OVERKILL!

    This whole thing is such a False Flag and now they are out to kill pasties because Dead People don’t talk. Not to mention the only group using violence and intimidation to advance a political Agenda is The Security/Police State.

    Not to mention the bill being introduced to require background checks for black and smokeless powder.

  8. They know they only have a limited window to work in, hence the rapid gun laws in some states before people come to their senses.

    Pretty bad.

  9. It is not amazing, that these polls have these figures when two months ago other polls were stating most Americans want to do away with privately held firearms. Point I am trying to make any poll can get any pre-desired result. Rig the questions, then ask a group of circa 1,000 people (the average poll) within a population of 330 MILLION plus. MSM was telling us cops were against civilians having guns, then a police website poll of 15,000 officers tells us the opposite. NRA holds polls of its members, whose info they keep private and get results not favoring BGCs, then we see anti gun ads stating NRA members support BCGs by 74%, really? How were the results obtained if the NRA keeps its membership list of near 5 million private? I do not trust media sponsored polls, as there is always an agenda……….

  10. The people of Illinois will get conceal carry. They better make sure they elect a republican for Governor instead of Madigan, she will come up with something to screw every one. She is a hard core bitch. She will get together with Emanuel an Obama and figure out how yo kill people here next. I live in Illinois its a pit of corrupt elitists who care about only their pocketbooks.

  11. There is a quote I heard that is remarkably appropriate right about now.

    “It is OK to have an unexpressed thought.”

  12. A quote from the WaPo article cited above:

    The gun-safety coalition is led by Republicans, with about seven in 10 saying firearms make the home safer. Conservatives, white men and Southerners are all broadly supportive of the idea that guns make homes safer.
    Those who don’t see guns adding safety are predictably on the other side of the political aisle — mainly Democrats, liberals and those with higher education.

    As a Nuyorican with some Conservative and some Liberal leanings-depending on topic, I feel disenfranchised when I read their conclusions. Then again, their conclusions mean Squat to me, my home is safe-because I make it so………

  13. Would you rather:

    A: “Shelter in place” unarmed?

    B: “Shelter in place” with a loaded firearm at hand?

    I’ll go with option B.

  14. Someone needs to reply to this twit and tell her to not blame the bombers, blame the pressure cooker.

    Apply a liberals gun logic to anything else and it shows how stupid they are.

  15. I’ll sleep very well, thank you. I live in a free state, I’m secure in my moral reasoning, and I have a 1911 in my bedside drawer.
