“(Now) there’s a whole new sort of group of individuals who–I don’t know what the numbers are–that never hunt at all but own guns for one of two reasons: self-protection or they just like the feel of an AR-15 at the range. They like the way of the feel of it. They just, it’s like driving a Ferrari.” – Vice President Joe Biden
…Therefore, shooting a double-barreled shotgun is like driving an ’87 Dodge K-Car.
Only if its a stoeger!
I’d like to think my gorgeous old doubles have a much more classic feel than a K car.
More like a 60s Dodge Power Wagon.
Liberal idiot. Sorry for the redundancy.
Thank you for the reason, Joe. Glad you cleared that all up. Now as far as owning a Ferrari, my chance left forever due to “Hope and Change”
That tailgunner Joe, he spouts more of his “wisdom” every day, I think that is referred to the dumbing down of America. Time to go clean my old double barrel….
Nah, Joe Biden is more of a Trans Am kind of guy ::wink wink::
Actually, he has a Corvette (that he claims the Secret Service won’t let him drive).
The problem with the SAFE act is that it is unconstitutional period. I’m still thinking a peaceful million man march, armed with AR-15s, on Washington DC is a good idea.
You have struck at the heart of the matter RF. “Mr. O’Donnell lives in a world where personal responsibility doesn’t exist.” Unfortunately, I think we are all living in a world where personal responsibility doesn’t exist…
A Ferrari? Not unless it has 12 or 16 barrels…
Y’know, where does the occasional hunter who owns a whopping three C&R pieces fit on the metaphor spectrum?
How about an old Packard, an MG and a 200 rated pickup?
Methinks Joe “doesn’t get it.”
NRA membership is in the mail. Thanks senator!
also, get to their donors.
+1 Hit the $$ and anyone who sponsors them for an event, speech, whatever. Make anyone associated with them know they have invited your wrath. Businessmen don’t like controversy. Give it to them and they will flee for safer havens in droves.
this really got some attention in MD, and there were some really irate donors in MD. Word is that Bloomberg stepped up to replace some $$, but Bloomberg is an even bigger target and people really ought to think twice about rubber stamping his kooky ban-everything agenda.
Not a bad strategy, going after pols in primary voting. Turnout is usually low, and gun owners are generally single issue. Hell, it worked for Bloomberg in Chicago. I’d share this with the NRA, GOA, and SAF as well.
Few people in that part of the country care about gun rights, or any rights and they like it like that. Good night, Rhode Island.
Politicians count on the short memories of voters. They have rigged the rules so that incumbents have all the advantages and are re-elected some 95% of the time. They know that the voter who is passionate today will be distracted by a shiny object or another issue tomorrow. The strategy you suggest will only work over the long run if the great enough numbers get fed up and vote the bastards out.
I point out how many people were up in arms over Dick’s Sporting Goods and promised to boycott them forever and forever. How many of them have returned to shop at Dick’s because they heard they had some ammo or a rifle on sale?
That is the attitude that politicians count on….sure we are all in the heat of passion today, but how long can it last? History shows it to be not long.
I hope I am wrong. It would not be the first time.
Okay so this makes (a little) sense for once. Maybe someone should remind him it is legal to own a Ferrari oh amd that it isnt protected like the AR-15 (currently) is.
Loving the “Get all up.in their grill” strategy, but not loving the “gun control doesn’t work” tag line. It leaves the door open to all kinds of pious retorts.
It’s good to see him saying that some people just want guns because they like them. When I was a kid, I liked pocketknives. Why? Idk. Some folks are simply attracted to machines. We all like having the gun more than the thought of using it for it’s design purpose.
Forget the email/phone calls, as you said, INSANITY.
We should, as you suggest, protest at major donors homes, businesses, kids schools, and wives book club meetings. Show up at the politicians PTA meetings, homes, business, coffee shops. Make them so personally uncomfortable they squirm at the thought of additional gun control. ALSO, make those who serve them so uncomfortable that general vendors deny them service. This is the strategy PETA used and it was VERY successful.
Here’s the catch, this needs to be civil and organized but still function as a “guerrilla” campaign so that Politicians don’t enact some BS law disallowing protesting on public roads, places of business, or schools of public officials. This effort needs to appear sporadic, random, and unpredictable. Think occupy wall street?
The younger population can not be expected to fight this one in large since we are hammered by student loans, wives, and kids. Not to mention that most younger people with the will to fight do not believe in the individual right to own firearms until well they need one, generally when the grow the F up. We need a retired population with more “free time” and less to lose to fight these skirmishes for us.
just my thoughts. yes, its slow in the office today.
A Mustang GT is a white trash Ferrari. Oh how I miss driving May white trash Ferrari
Living in a state where you can get to any event in about an hour, you are in a unique position to be able to assemble any where quickly.
Hey, I know, you could call your selves the “60 Minute Men”
Catchy, don’t you think?
I think moving is the better idea… I grew up in RI and have most of my extended family still scattered through RI, MA, CT and ME. As much as I enjoy visiting, I’ll never live in New England again. State and local politics have already coalesced into a self licking ice cream cone, an echo-chamber, a grand self delusion. You can spend your years arguing primaries, lamenting the taxes, and stressing yourself out or recognize that “light blue” or “deep blue” really has no distinction when their is no real opposition. When each census shows a steady stream of population decline for the region, yet the same policies get even MORE strict, it’s like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. All you have is getting off the ship.
We should force prisoners to watch larry’s show to coerce confessions. Should take 2-3 minutes tops.
Taking a cue from the Free State Dino Project eh?
We are registering Republicans in Democrat-controlled areas to Democrats to bring some chaos to the primaries. We may not get a Pro-2A person, but we will show the ones that voted against our rights we will stop at nothing to throw them out on their tyrannical butts.
Robert – As someone who has wasted a considerable amount of time “pissing in the wind” by testifying repeatedly at public meetings, I like all your above ideas, and good for you for heading in this direction. We need to get aggressive, and for heaven’s sake we need to stop worrying about whether we’re going to turn anyone off. Of course we’re going to. But we’re also going to attract a lot of people who weren’t paying attention before, and we’re going to put real pressure on politicians who don’t respect facts and logic.
The horror…the horror.
If the Brady Campaign had enough money to sponsor a race, I’m sure NASCAR would be more than happy to oblige – maybe. But they don’t, so they can’t.
Maybe what we need is a Kickstarter fund drive for the FOAD 500 to be held as a second race at Kentucky Speedway.
I like your ideas, Mr. Farago, and hearing them articulated makes me a bit optimistic for a change. Judging from the tone of the comments, a lot of folks see this as a lost cause. I hope not, because if we can’t vote these people out, ultimately we have lost more than the 2A. We’ve probably lost the country. Maybe the RI battle will be lost, but I believe it could still be a pyrrhic victory for the grabbers, and it seems that fear is the only thing these types understand.
I miss the commenters from before the election that assured us such-and-such democrat would never… I wonder if they still come here, or if they were false flag types who never supported the 2A in the first place. If they truly exist, I wonder how it is we convince them to do something besides vote for straight party line liberals. I would love to see these people speak out, support each other, and force some change on the Democratic Party. Maybe I should go ahead and park that optimism. I have no idea how to appeal to these people.
Lady needs to get out of dodge before gimpy gets another gun.
No more “NY po-po”. From now on, it’s NYStaPo, okay?
Well one thing is sure. Biden knows even less about Ferrari’s than
he does about guns. Or do I have that backwards? It’s hard to tell.
Every time Crazy Joe runs his mouth, the nation gets stoopider.
Where was this f#@ktard when Spears Mfg. Co. actually sponsored a truck in the (then) Craftsman Truck Series, and Wayne Spears had the bed cover emblazoned with a large ‘I’m the NRA, and I vote’ logo? Let him put his money where his mouth is and have him and his fellow travelers sponsor a race. Let’s see how many people watch the ‘Gun Control 500’ on MSNBC.
All I see is a fine pink mist.
Why was the comment I made maked as spam and removed? It was in the same context as all the rest.
What? The government should follow the law? Inconceivable. The government is the law. The government is above the law. The government transcends the law. This is America, people. The law is irrelevant.
I think the gub’ment should buy me a Ferrari for self defense.
