Here’s an interesting image:
Now first let’s look over the anti-gun blackface. First you have the “NRA Member” who is a craggy old white man in hunting garb and a hunting rifle. Yep the 2nd Amendment is all about ducks and deer. Second we have the “Gun Makers” who are depicted as a skeleton in a suit. Weather it is just a skeleton, or a modern iteration of the Angel of Death, they are implying that those who make guns are ONLY concerned with death.
Still the big irony comes in Jason’s quote: “Without Obama as a boogeyman, what will the NRA sell for fearmongering now?” Coming from an anti-gun activist who is openly seeking to take your guns and rights away from you. No need to fear-monger, there is an enemy and it isn’t just President Obama, or the Democrats in the legislature.
Just look at his last post talking about the mid-term election:
Washington passed I-594 which will expand background checks in Washington State on nearly all gun sales. Washington voters overwhelmingly voted for Initiative 594. At the same time, voters resoundingly rejected I-591, an NRA driven measure designed to weaken Washington state laws.
Yep, he’s HAPPY I-594 passed, a law that would make it a crime to show a friend your gun. A law that would make it a crime to teach new shooters how to safely handle firearms. A Law that creates a back-door registry to make door-to-door confiscation more easy!
Gee, what do we have to be concerned about?
Oh, and that whole “Gun Sales Down”, is supposed to be interpreted as something we should be concerned about? Sorry, Jason, but guns are durable goods. I still own the very first gun I owned. I own guns that are over 100 years old. I own guns carried by relatives who are long in the ground. Gun sales are dropping people people rushed out to get guns…and then they got them. You don’t need to buy a gun every month to be a 2nd Amendment Supporter. You don’t need to have 100 guns to be a Second Amendment Supporter.
Some people just have one gun. Some have three. Some have dozens. None of them want them taken away, which is EXACTLY what you want.
And does that mean sales are down relative to the giant boom or are sales down below some expected “norm”? Given Black Friday apparently was about a record FBI checks…
Also one can see how casually he lies about I591 given it was basically about maintaining the status quo.
Then again this is someone who wants to ban guns, aggitates for banning guns, supports gun bans that do get passed… who then turns around and insists that “oh no, gun bans are a boogyman”.
We also see this massive lie with regard to Obama too. Despite the president advocating very hard for an AWB and magazine ban for over a year and giving dozens of speeches to the effect and endorsing and aplauding states that have passed such bans… Gun grabbers insist that he’s not about bans.
Sales are only down from the massive boom that happened post Sandy Hook. Gun sales are still UP compared to earlier years.
“Without Obama as a boogeyman, what will the NRA sell for fearmongering now?
Jason Kilgore is talking about fear on an image worried about a person killing Congress ??
The irony of this is so thick, it might even match Jason’s thick skull. The entire anti-rights cultist campaign is based on the fear that someone might do something with an inanimate object — so we have to ban / control that inanimate object.
Can you say fear?
Meanwhile, proving that we aren’t paranoid, we have the little weasel Ensley calling for gun bans.
Sounds like one side is lying when they say they don’t want to ban guns and another side going “Oh….how about this person…or that one….or her…..or him…..or this guy…..”
I-591 was created by the SAF, not the NRA.
In fact, there was quite a bit of speculation that the reason the NRA did so very little in its effort to assist with the defeat of I-594 was exactly because Washington is the home of the SAF and its founder, Alan Gottlieb. The two aren’t exactly, bed buddies…
BTW, anyone else going to this?

I have news for the gun-garabbing swine. Don’t celebrate when gun sales are down. Watch for when TARGET sals are down; that means that the rest of us have practiced enough, and are ready too rumble.
Y’all might want to vacate the country right about then.
