“Some of the NRA’s ‘enemies’ are groups like Hadassah, the U.S. Catholic Conference, and the YWCA. At least all major religions are covered. Then you have your evil, gun-hating corporations like Sara Lee. Sara Lee? I suppose their new slogan will have to be ‘Nobody Doesn’t Like Sara Lee, Except The National Rifle Association.'” – Alan Colmes, Dear NRA, Please Put Me on Your Enemies List [via huffingtonpost.com]
Good gawd folks. Guns are not cars. This argument gets trotted out over and over and it convinces only those who are already convinced. W/o my car my quality of life would be immediately diminished (no reliable public transport and miles from even a grocery store). W/o guns my life **might** be *slightly* less happy and secure, but “the truth about guns” is that for most all of us they are merely hobby that we can justify as “practical” simply because we **could** have need to call upon our guns to defend our life–most of us would do better to spend our “gun money” on higher quality tires.
Done. That wasn’t hard at all.
Idk why he’s so proud to be an enemy of people with guns lol.
You can bring your wit to a gunfight, I’ll bring my gun.
Poor Allen. Without Sean Hannity being the Walter to his Donnie (“Shut the **** up, Allen!”), the poor guy is lost.
About twenty years ago Colmes tried to host his own solo AM talk show & failed all three times since sponsors were skeptical about selling product on a show hosted by a wacked out capitalism-hating liberal. Did Colmes draw a lesson from this? No. Alan blamed his failures on the vast right wing conspiracy cabal of evil military-industrial complex warmongers.
I’d like to see this nerd march into a gun show & point to a table full of weaponry & declare, “You know, you have no right to possess these things. Do you just enjoy seeing little children killed?”
#11 is completely wrong, amongst others. I can think of a dozen cosmetic features which are banned on cars.
The whole guns vs cars argument has one fatal flaw: means of transportation are not listed in the Constitution as an inalienable right, but the ability of a citizen to be armed is.
Hmmm. Still don’t see my comment. Quick summary: Your entire list is wrong, and even the premise is wrong. Cars are required to be insured, and cannot be operated without a license. Cars are frequently necessary to get a job, and are a key element in personal freedom.
Even the absurdly low standards for driver’s training in my state are still more training than is required to get a concealed carry permit.
If it weren’t for the second amendment, all guns would be regulated about the same way that fully-automatic weapons are now. We would have less personal freedom, but a lot fewer killing sprees.
If cars had existed in 1787, they would have been given a lot more protections than firearms.
Huh, I can’t imagine why religions would be against people owning guns….it’s not like the purpose of religion is to control people. Wait a minute….
At this point I have to call this a mass case of mental illness. I am not being sarcastic and I apologize if that seems harsh. How is it that all these people do not have enough regard for their own well being? Even worse, why do all these people want to deny me and my family the tools to defend ourselves?
Sorry, Alan, but first you have to be relevant.
Let’s see the Mayors have a “Barrett” pulled on them. Don’t like our firearms for your citizens? Then none for you. Have a nice day.
Yes, the same restrictions apply at a gun show as elsewhere. But that’s not the gun show loophole. The loophole is the fact that not all gun sales go through a background check.
It is only called the gun show loophole because it is more dramatic to see when hundreds of buyers and sellers get together at a gun show and buy/sell without background checks, than when the same hundreds of people do the same thing via classifieds of some gun listing website.
So, if you want to have a meaningful exchange, you just have to stop getting all hung up about that term, and address the underlying question. 20 years ago, you would have found it silly if I would have argued with you that you couldn’t “fedex” a package because there was no such thing, there was only a company called Federal Express. Well, fast forward, and even Federal Express changed its name to protect it and move with the times. So you should too. Accept the fact that there is a loophole (*IF* one believes that all purchases should require a check) that allows buyers to purchase firearms without background checks, and it’s commonly called the gun show loophole.
Skeletor never fails to disappoint.
I ordered mine with the Virginia state seal engraved on the slide (Sic Semper Tyrannis) and genuine National Service Defense Medals embedded in the grip panels.
When I look upon this metro-sexual’s smirking face and read his shallow comments about the NRA I find myself thinking that the linked image had him in mind.
Better protection than a pacifist male

PS If anyone knows which gun model the young woman is holding in the picture please let me know.
I like my little pony, and rifles!
Yeah, I get raised sights and threaded, but with the skull & bones it looks like something they’d pull in for a tight shot of in a movie to show that the owner is “badass.”
Shouldn’t a lefty be wearing a watch on his right arm. Conspiracies abound.
Hi, Good to see you here, Randy
Questions for you skeet shooters out there: Is the appearance of smoke from the barrel and porting normal for high-humidity areas such as Maryland/Camp David? The only time we see smoke like that out West is when someone is shooting a muzzleloader with black powder or Pyrodex.
Shouldn’t there be at least a tiny bit of recoil evident, even with low-recoil skeet loads? I mean, with the smoke still showing on the photo, wouldn’t this represent a period very soon after the shot went off? Or am I so conditioned by his verbal lies that I assume everything he does is staged?
If he misses, does he blame the Bush admin?
Thanks for posting. You are awesome! It’s great to see so many diverse backgrounds
People are good at compartmentalizing. If Obama enjoyed shooting crew-served machine guns and mortars up at Camp David, he’d have supporters who would say “good, he needs to be able to protect himself!”
Nice to have you!
Man does he look like an extraterrestrial at a baseball game or what? Very posed, unnatural and out of character. This is pure misdirection. Look hunters I shoot skeet so we’re cool….
Standing ovation. Pointing out Durbin’s fringe argument against 100 round mags and importance of factory issued standard round capacity mags is key. In another video Durbin clearly believes that citizens have no rights to protect themselves and should be subjugated to the government. Too bad no one brought up the disarming after Katrina or the Koreans self defense in the LA riots.
I’ve been wanting one of these babies for a while.
Another “officer” who has no business on the force and needs to find some other line of work. Disgrace to the badge.
Very interesting in the context of 2013. Now as memory serves the first issue with recycled military brass was an attempt to sell it as scrap brass to China. That actually got a reaction, that they would run it through a foundry and sell it back to us at a profit to make more cases, Dumb!
I have to ask it they are now actually “destroying” the cases. Common sense in a for profit world would be to return the cases and reload them after inspection and cleaning. Thus saving melting and reforming the brass and allowing for a higher profit on the enterprise.
Now any thinking person realizes that Government doesn’t do much for the people. They do it for the profit makers and wealthy so they can keep their jobs. And they all agree that having an armed populace is counter to their safety. History should show sufficient examples for anyone wanting to check this. Example the French Revolution.
The second amendment was formulated by people who had knowledge of this and similar events and what caused them. They did not want this country to ever become subjugated by government. An armed populace is safer for the populace.
Maybe we shouldnt be giving the humane society so much money that they worry about outside the US?
Poor Alan. He’s kinda likeable, in the slow-kid-in-class-you-had-to-waste-your-time-looking-after kinda way.
As a police explorer, I can say 45 minutes, while probably slightly exaggerated, is a pretty long time to be left defenseless like that. I do feel that, while I completely respect those who serve, being a soldier (retired or not) does not entitle him to special treatment from anyone, especially when he says it like it makes him better than than the officer. On the same hand, instead of taking offense to it, the officer could have tried to identify with the man by saying he was ex-marine. Overall, it was just a big overreaction. But hey, we all learn from mistakes, eh?
Oh, and that kid needs to grow a pair, he got slammed on the ground, not permanently disfigured…
I think the punk kid was wrong. It can go a lot worse than a minor attitude adjustment. Randy
Passage of this would, without a doubt, cement the moral right of true Americans to immediately remove the government officials that supported this, by any means necessary.
They’re attempting to turn you into a slave. They’re taking away your natural rights. What are you going to do about it?
i want one i want one i want one
but i can’t find one
