Jeremy S. put together the above viddy. That took…what? All of five hours? Probably more than we should have expected for someone to speculate in the media on a pro-gun, right wing, anti-government connection. That’s former Massachusetts statie and “anti-terrorism expert” Todd McGee on who’s likely to be behind this afternoon’s Boston bombings. The only real surprise is that the phrase “Tea Party” wasn’t uttered.
Yea, because that really makes sense that people who DON’T want them to ban things are going to start blowing up things and give them more “evidence” to use to ban things.
Amazing how quickly the left will politicize this.
Ahhh….hmm. Didn’t we learn a lesson about speculating after Newtown?
For example, while I am Not a big fan of CNN, personally, and Blitzer’s performance lately, but its also true that he DIDN’T speculate that it was an “anti-tax” group responsible, as one post on Freepers said, just noting that it was Patriots Day in Boston. It was also crazy Lil Kims birthday, right, or was it North Koreas 40th anniversary of crazy? As well as being Israels Independence Day. I’m sure theres more…
Heres the audio at HotAir:

Just in time: CNN comes thru however:

Didn’t realize it was Israel’s Independence Day… Hmm, the dirka dirka jihad connection is starting to firm up.
Somehow my reply ended up right above your comment.
hmmm my previous comment marked as spam it sez…
As the Unabomber found out, smokeless powder needs modifcation to make a good explosive. In the current climate of hysteria, that won’t matter.
I think we can skirt all this bomb control issue if we concentrate on controlling fuses.
The first thing I thought was someone must have been using an AR-15, seeing how they can blow up airplanes and railroads.
Isn’t there laws to prevent bombing violence? Isn’t Boston a “bomb free zone”? I don’t understand how such a thing can happen. The government needs to do something to make me feel safe.
I am sorry for the people hurt or killed just wanted be a little snarky.
Looks like the carry reciprocity is not as concrete as I thought, and we already know registry violations won’t get prosecuted (F&F comes to mind). So this bills only advantage might be that it is less worthless than S.649.
Where does it even mention carry reciprocity? I have been over it several times and I cannot find it amongst the rest of the crap.
It’s a golden age for terrorists. They don’t need to kill mass amounts of people. They don’t need their rhetoric. They don’t need to declare war.
All they need is one little attack that anyone could do with the supplies in their garage, killing fewer people than are killed by stairs in a week, and the people will destroy themselves. The pathetic people of this nation will allow their tyrannical overlords to enslave them in the name of “Safety” and the tyrants in charge will gleefully oblige, the hysterical drivel of the MSM lighting the path.
Any semblance of courage, steadfastness, and decency has departed this nation. The people deserve every misery they allow to befall them.
Patriot Day, beginning of the Revolution for Independence; to quote an iconic 60’s comedienne: “verrrrrry interesting”
This whole thing is a crock that shouldn’t even see the light if day. The only thing worth passing is the national carry reciprocity, the rest of it is simply incrementalism at its finest.
i always wonder about people worried about making “simple mistakes.” sorry to sound like a hard ass, but i hear this and think, if they are simple, dont make them. double check your work. i dont see anything that “prioritizes” private sale background checks. i am against background checks, but complaints like these make 2a people sound like whiners.
He’s a man named Jed. A poor Mountaineer who barely kept his family fed. And then one day he shot a movie for MAIG. The next thing you know, ol’ Jed got paid.
Just want to point out that there’s nothing that says that you’re not both right. He could be an actor and a West Virginia gun owner.
Nat’l radio host was just joking ‘how many NRA and Tea Party members did you see arrested in Boston’ ? MA doesn’t have a death penalty, so Feds better handle it. Americans incl. 8 y.o. child murdered on American soil by foreigners. FBI is combing MIT campuses “due to the sophistication of the device”…to rip limbs off from a metal box from a distance however slight, not point blank…not black/gun powder…much higher detonation velocity/brisance. [note: Saudi terrorists with FSA are regularly bodybagged by the Assad regime’s SAA..obama/kerry are supporting these FSA terrorists in word and with medical equipment].
Somebody post it on /b/.
That’ll likely do it.
or /k/
If this turns out to be linked to Islamic extremist I wonder if it will be labeled as marathon violence instead of terrorism?
Oi. Drunk and armed doesn’t mix. Looks like suspension / termination material.
So…….just plugged the image into pictriev.com Closest match was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I sh*t you not.
Confirmed, LOL!
Crap! Now we have to reset the “Its been X many days since” signage.
the man is such a stereotype that it is hard to believe he is for real. Honestly I think it’s a was to get liberals to identify him as the “common” gun owner and think that all gun owners are really for gun control and that anyone who disagrees is an extremist.
His name is Robert Paulson.
The libs would be stupid enough to hire an actor. I’ve known enough to know that to many, the end justifies the means.
John Fugelsang with a fake beard. The mullet is real, though.
Joe the Plumber.
As those of you who follow know I travel from my home in NM to my job in Mass. several times each year. It seems this is a good thing for my wife and I , but any thoughts?……..and explain it to me slowly……this brother is approaching sixty!
🙂
Personally i don’t give a damn if it is an actor, a fudd gun owner, or a cgi version of Joe Hunting Guy; the important thing is to realize that this a ham handed piece of propaganda. The message is fake, it is lies, and it espouses an agenda that can be dis proven with simple facts. The set, the dialogue, the hand on the trigger, all of it screams anti gunners who know nothing about guns and are full of cr*p. Also it has to be fake, since the ‘hunter’ is wearing plaid. I personally have not seen a hunter wear plaid in over a decade, it is all real tree, scent blocking, under armor, mossy oak, goretex, space age, hunting clothes wherever I see guys in the woods. That or a $5 camo tee from Wally world.
it occurred to me that if he was not a gun owner before this ad, now that so many people are looking for him, he probably will be now. Unless Bloomberg lets him borrow his body guards.
This would seem to suggest that firearms-related transport is not protected when a intentional crime is committed by the transport itself (deliberately entering NY with an 8-round magazine), but it doesn’t appear make a common-carrier-liability exception? So, what, I can never again ground-ship 11+ round magazines to New England (through MA/NY)? Manufacturer repairs…only of compliant weapons, traversing certain states?
Or, um, you know, the shrinking youth population in Japan and South Korea. Or our hostile immigration system. Or the fact that John Kerry is full of shit, because despite our immigration system, shrinking populations and all the mean, bad old guns 2012 was a record year for foreign students in US colleges.
As much as I despise Bloomberg and MAIG, I have to point out that this doofus does not have his finger on the trigger. We get after the media for not knowing about firearms and here we are completely ignoring the anatomy of a shotgun. His hand is WAY too close to the ejection port for his finger to be on the trigger. It looks to me like his fingers are curled around the trigger guard. Take another look, to be in a shooting postion with trigger finger on the trigger, his thumb would be where the stock meets the receiver, in the picture it is pretty far foreward on the receiver. I only point this out because while it adds to our arguement that the anti-gun crowd are complete morons, we need to be accurate in our criticism. It makes us look worse if we appear less than knowledgable about our own beloved subject. That being said, the other blatant safety voilations are valid and I would go so far as to call this video racist. It paints gun owners as bearded, flannel-wearing hillbillies. As a bearded, flannel-wearing hillbilly (from TN, not WV) I am offended to be associated with this moron and MAIG. This guy is obviously and actor, likely from NYC. I am looking to put a name to the face and hopefully will have a name soon. I will not accept any reward if I find this information.
The man declares, “For me guns are for hunting and protecting my family. I believe in the Second Amendment and I’ll fight to protect it. But with rights comes responsibilities and that’s why I support comprehensive background checks.”
Caused to wonder here, what if anything, does the Second Amendment have to do with people in the federal government enacting more federal gun control laws…and what plan the person in the television ad has to ‘fight to protect it’?
crap. that’s certainly not working for the southern border…
I remember years ago being at a pool hall in Texas….
I know that sounds like the beginning of a good joke but there I was, peacefully playing pool when…
A couple of tables over a guy was being rude to his girlfriend when a good ole’ cowboy started taking up for the girl. Very quickly things escalated into a fight. The guy running the place did something to make a loud noise (no firearms or explosives involved) and yelled “everybody out! we’re closed!” Kinda diffused the situation as all the patrons left shocked and grumbling.
I may be more situationally aware now than I was then but I was amazed at how quickly things got out of control. I’m not sure I could have gotten out of there before something started happening. I guess that the point is that you’ve got to choose where to be and it’s better not to choose to be somewhere that violence often occurs. But it’s not always easy to know that, I was visiting from out of town.
I don’t remember where, but some Japanese exchange student was shot by a slightly unhinged homeowner on Halloween years ago. Maybe California? Nipponese media sources puffed the piece up much like our MSM handled Trayvonosauras Rex.
If we all stick together and constantly campaign against this evil dictator and his minions we can make a difference, we better all start or we will get Hillary shoved up our asses…and she will be worse the the jerk we have now…
I can’t think of anything that’s happened in the last 24 hours besides “gun violence” that they should be scared of… Nope, perfectly safe here in the U.S.these days if we could just get rid of those guns. Oh wait…
There was another poster from them that showed a kid with a dodgeball and the other with an AR. I guess dodgeball is banned too? DUDE! What happened to our school system. As kids, dodgeball was awesome. Yes, I got beaned often and red marks would show up frequently, but I learned the 5 D’s (dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge).
On a side note. The girl in this poster at least knows not to put her finger on the trigger. Can’t say the same for the other posters I saw yesterday.
Side Side note. The kids holding the guns in the posters are all Anglo while the kids holding the “banned” objects are different ethnicities. Interesting.
I love MDA. But I can’t find ant dealers where I live now.
Seriously do people think about the acronyms when they name their organizations?
First, what a gorgeous rifle. The fat magazine tube balances nicely with the fat barrel. I have a weakness for stainless lever actions.
Second, $10 to anyone who can “Double Tap” 400 grain S&W .500’s out of, well, anything.
Third, What’s a rifle review doing on TTAG?
The homeowner was merely reminding the bad guy that concealed means concealed.
NASCAR’s Jimmy Johnson #48 car
The police officer was just afraid and didn’t know what to do. They are just taught tone afraid of guns and cuff and disarm everyone until they figure what is going on. Seems both sides got pretty pissed. Old saying “you can beat the rap, but you ain’t going to beat the ride.” Sad that police officer aren’t getting better training.
glock is in no way more accurate than sig! this shoot off you had is becuase all you shoot is glock. you are a glock nut! i have both and its the complete opposite. i hate when people get on here and turn things around. i’ve done the same test and literaly the opposite. ask the real men at glock and the honest answer is p220 makes a tighter group. biased info!
