Anti gun people are pretending they’re winning. Eddy has some pretty high demands…good luck with that, skippy!
You might have been successful back in the 90s when the lie was alive, but now the truth is out there and people aren’t buying it.
Thought I’d add this for political contrast:
George and the people cheering thought they were on the right side of history too.
People in general aren’t buying it. Which is good.
But the same old “elites” and their anti supporters do. I wonder if that’s his audience.
Sort of a fantasy football version of news. Note that like Bloomberg, he’s trying to prime the pump about a “debate”. Maybe if they get enough “pressure” they can convince some pol that gun control is a winning issue. Or get a true beleiver to just bite the bullet.
Sort of like this clown

I’m wondering if the realize that the debate /has/ been going on, and among the general populace they’ve been losing heartilly.
It’s hard to articualte the argument that the rights of innocent people should be abridged to “stop” a man who even if every gun on the planet vanished in fair dust would still be capable and willing to kill and injure just as many.
I think Piers Morgan had the real mask slip when he admited that sure lunatics can always get guns, but America has to “do something” and we can make guns harder to get for everyone.
The quotes around “Debate” is the key. Note in this video there is NOBODY even remotely pro-gun, or valid. They’re talking about hunting, they don’t even CONSIDER self-defense. They’re talking against armor-defeating bullets in the wake of an attack done by an armored attacker.
They need to hide in a pocket dimention where reality is different so their message doesn’t sound totally out of touch.
Eff off, Rendel and squawking statists. I shoot competitively and for self defense. 2A isn’t about hunting.
Here’s my compromise: Any free man can own any apparatus that local, state, and federal LEO and military owns or is issued.
“Nuclear rocket launcher.” WTF. Good God, please make them go away.
Wasn’t the “Davy Crockett” a man-portable rocket launcher with a nuclear warhead? Intended to stop the Soviets if they bunched up while driving into West Germany, AFAICR.
I’d love to have one — though without the warhead. I believe the maximum range to target was shorter than the blast radius.
Good Grief, Either they have been dancing in the blood so long they have it down pat or they have a checklist to make sure they hit all the cliches.
“Common sense”, ‘Need’, “hunting”, ‘clips’ – they hit them all. They had plenty of time to do so.
Of course, the news ‘reader’ doesn’t bring in any opposing view on this issue to set record straight.
We already know where Alex Wagner stands on guns. The news lately is that the Colorado shooter bought his guns legally over the course of a couple of months at FFL dealers. The bad guy passed the checks.
But what if he hadn’t? Will we ban glass jars, gasoline, and rags? The shooter came in through the back door. He could have tossed Molotov cocktails.
But note also that Rendell argued that our rights have common sense limitations and then Wagner whines about how violent the movie is. Are we going to ban movies? That whole panel was a bunch of nanny statists who congratulate themselves on their attitudes toward control. Let’s make sure that Americans know better.
