When a terrorist rammed a 19-metric-ton cargo truck into a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France, in July of 2016, killing 86 people and wounding 458 others, the reaction from the Left wasn’t to point fingers at the automotive industry.
Instead, ire was directed at the driver, identified as Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel and the terrorist group ISIL that claimed to be behind the attack. That’s only logical. A truck on its own isn’t going to plow into a throng of people. It takes a crazed lunatic to get behind the wheel and carry out the attack.
But when a madman with a gun shoots at a crowd of people, the Left immediately takes a kick-the-dog approach and blames the National Rifle Association (I’ll admit that not all Lefties are anti-gun, but enough are to warrant the generalization).
Keith Olbermann, for example, slammed the nation’s gun lobby in a clip for GQ’s “The Resistance.” The progressive pundit claimed that the Second Amendment has been misinterpreted in recent years and is the reason why the NRA “is not branded for what it is — a terrorist organization.”
According to Olbermann, the 2A was drafted by our founders and framers “to keep the federal government from taking away the right of each state to maintain its own militia.”
In other words, it’s not an individual right unconnected to militia service as the Supreme Court ruled in the landmark 2008 Heller decision.
Olbermann went on to say that our right to keep and bear arms has been transmogrified “into an excuse for why madmen of whatever heritage or political purpose cannot be stopped from carrying at least 10 long rifles into a hotel room in Las Vegas and setting up a sniper’s nest and killing people.”
Olbermann’s fooling himself if he thinks confiscating guns will stop mass killings. Taking guns off the street is not the same as taking mass killers off the street.
When all the guns are gone violence doesn’t end. The killings don’t stop as long as the killers are still out there. That’s the lesson of Nice. It doesn’t matter what laws a nation passes. Whether it’s with a long gun, a semi truck or a pressure-cooker bomb, a determined killer will try to find a way to take innocent lives.
Yet Olbermann doesn’t see it this way. He wants to destroy the one right that gives the common man a fighting chance against those that would do him harm and the one organization that does more than any other to preserve that right.
“It is time to end the lies about the Second Amendment. It is time to end refusing to call mass murderers who do not have obvious political motives terrorists,” said Olbermann.
“It is time to end the National Rifle Association. And it is time to end the political career of any political figure who made his way to the White House dog-whistling to his Second Amendment people,” he continued.
Olbermann is ignorant of history and many other things. Militias provided their own arms, in most cases. Even, the initial load of ammo. Some cities provided artillery.
Way too wordy. You could have stopped with “Olbermann is ignorant”. Of course, that describes most Democrats and all Liberals as well.
Does Keith O still live with his mother these days?
He used to, that’s a fact.
The definition of a terrorist ….Someone or group of people that want to create terror to cause havoc and fear…through destructive means to cause bodily injury or death…No one has to be tied to a political group to be a terrorist …..Just nuckin futs “
Funny that is exactly how I feel about thee Democrats are a terrorist organization. They have done more harm to this Country in the last 40 years than the NRA has in 160 years. The more clowns like this are given a place to voice there ignorance the worse it gets.
Just another liberal idiot that thinks all of the people should follow his thinking and give up our 2nd amendment rights!
The word “thinking” should never be employed when discussing the psychotic ramblings of the lunatic Olberwomann. This over-estrogenated scumbag doesn’t have the capacity to think, but she sure does feel some hefty “emotions”. What a little beyotch.
Sooooo….if the NRA is a terrorist organization does that mean it’s over 5 million members are all terrorists?
OLBERMANN, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS! BEFORE YOU DROP YOUR 2 CENT THOUGHTS ON WHAT YOU CALL GUN CONTROL AND THE NRA, YOU WOULD BE WELL ADVISED TO TAKE A STAND IN FRONT OF THE ABORTION CLINICS WHERE 3 THOUSAND INNOCENT BABIES ARE MURDERED EVERYDAY!!! IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CLAIM TO HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS WHEN OTHERS ARE KILLED BY GUNFIRE ON THE GROUNDS OF A MUSICAL CONCERT. YET, YOU STAND IDLE WITH YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND FINGER UP YOUR ASS OVER THE ATROCIOUSNESS OF THE MERCILESS SLAUGHTER OF HELPLESS, PRECIOUS CHILDREN WHO HAVE NEVER DONE ANY WRONG. THEY JUST WANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE JUST AS WE HAVE. INSTEAD OF WRITING AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE NRA BEING TERRORISTS, GET OFF YOUR SORRY ASS AND CONSIDER TAKING A STAND AGAINST THE THOUSANDS OF DEATHS EVERYDAY INSIDE THE GROUNDS OF A MOTHER’S WOMB? YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A SELFISH, PATHETIC HYPOCRITE!!! TAKE YOUR RHETORIC AND SHOVE IT!!!! ASSHOLE!!
Even journalists can be sued civilly for libel and slander (e.g. Rolling Stone magazine). Why doesn’t the NRA sue Olbermann? The claim is obviously false and malicious.
What the Second Amendment says in irrelevant. The right to arms doesn’t exist because of the Second Amendment, the Second Amendment exists because of the right to arms. Repeal the amendment, and that won’t abolish the right. The amendment is not the true bar to firearms legislation. The true bar to firearms legislation is the (intentional) failure of the Constitution’s authors to grant Congress (in Article I) any authority to legislate against firearms and other weapons. The purpose of the Bill of Rights (as evidenced by its preamble) was not to protect the rights enumerated therein (and those it did not enumerate – please see the Ninth Amendment), it was to emphasize the fact that the organic Constitution granted the government very limited authority to break into any right. (That limited authority is admitted in the Fifth Amendment, where it declares rights are subject to due process of law, identified by the courts as the judicial process of indictment and trial for, and conviction of, a crime. “Due process of law” is not a legislative process. When legislation is found to infringe upon a right, it is declared unconstitutional because of this rule in the Fifth Amendment – the offending legislation denied a citizen a right or rights without the necessary due judicial process.)
The entire Bill of Rights could be repealed and it wouldn’t affect our rights. Americans had no fewer rights immediately after the Constitution was ratified and before the Bill of Rights was ratified, than they did after the ratification of the Bill of Rights – the Bill of Rights only provided Americans’ rights more explicit protection by pointing out (again, refer to the BOR’s preamble) that citizens’ rights were beyond the reach of legislative authority.
Wilbur, instead of being disgruntled, and maybe harming someone or yourself, you can get your name changed. 😀
More left wing propaganda to put Keith back in the spotlight. He really is a fool working for the democrats agenda.
It is unfortunate to say the least, any and every time there is a shooting of any kind. The reality is that, there is no way to stop these occurrences. No amount of gun control or legislation will have any effect on this. If you were to stop making guns today, lets say you even have the capability to remove every single firearm from the planet, we will still have murders and killings mass and otherwise. Anyone that wants to truly cause harm to others will find a way. They will use cars/trucks, planes, knives, toothpicks, ink pens/pencils, spoons, bombs(which can be made with household items) which are readily available to the public, or anything else they can come up with. It is impossible to keep this type of thing from happening. Imagine 1000lbs of “exploding target” powder being detonated at a public gathering. The problem is, there are thousands of ways to kill, that are readily available to the public, and would be quite effective. All of these ways are readily available for purchase at your local grocery or hardware store. The only way to stop it is to be able to see into the future. Minority Report. Even it has flaws. Its quite simple, unfortunate, but simple. NO AMOUNT OF GUN CONTROL WILL KEEP THIS TYPE OF ATROCITY FROM HAPPENING.
The Terrorists Groups are Muslim Brotherhood and all connected BLM BPP ANTIFA OWS If any NRA Members were involved in Shooting it would be Headlines in the Bilderberg MSM Which i have never seen
Oberman can kiss my ass. I am a Comanche Indian. Taking the ability to protect oneself and family is how the so called us goverment was able to damn near push the native Americans to extinction. Putting us on reservations and taking our weapons was the only way to stop us. We were winning with rocks and sticks. The great us goverment figured out that by killing off the main staple of the native American people, the buffalo, and providing the people they had on reservations with blankets and clothing from outbreaks of diseases in the cities was answer. The goverment took our rifles, bows,arrows and even our stone knives. The us goverment practiced genocide, murder, torture and every conceivable horror the mind can imagine in the name of progress and civilization. They won’t take my ability to protect my loved ones friends or strangers if need be. Oberman needs to be the one to come get my arms, but like all cowards he wants someone else to take the repercussions. He’s a panty waist coward and a pussy
Excellent response!
If the Las Vegas shooter just wanted to kill people. He could have flown one of his two airplanes loaded with fuel and nitrogen, into the crowd of Twenty two thousand. He would have killed thousands! He chose guns! He had over 14 guns in both rooms! Why? He wanted to emphasize guns! The shooter knew the Second Amendment is the only thing that will divide this country!

All of you are missing the most important facts. How many of those 500 were injured by being trampled? How many of those 59 died from being trampled? If less than 49 died from gun shots that makes the Pulse Night Club shooting the biggest mass murder in the US. If more than 49 died from gunshots that makes Las Vegas the biggest mass murder event.
WRONG! The biggest mass murder in American History was at WOUNED KNEE.
Where the hell did Olbermann come from? I thought he was dead. I guess he’s just brain dead. Didn’t kill his career already with this liberal crap? He should just go lie down in his grave and quit bothering the living. Someone please get a stake!
Olbermann was a sports newsman on KNBC in LA years back. He should have stuck to sports. He is a moron.
He was a FAILED sportscaster and reporter in L.A.
I guess I am a terrorist then according to the big mouth that talks out his a– because his mouth knows better. I served in the U.S. Navy, a police officer for a total of 32 years and swore allegiances to this country five (5) times. Being an NRA member since 1975 and have reached the patron status, I find it rather disgustingly offensive that this singled digit intellectual is given space to proclaim his stupidity. He rather divide this country than to seek solidarity. I hope he does not have a driver licenses. In my opinion he is a loose canon looking for ammo. I hope Home Land Security and the FBI have him on their radar.
This is the first ever comment I have written. nope first ever documment. sounds like a cover up
I’m sure Mr. Oberman is aware that anyone who attempts to subvert the Constitution is a ‘terrorist’. He is smart enough to realize that the President can (and has) nationalize the state guard. While I’m sure that would only happen in an ’emergency’, such as defending their own agenda, we all know one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
People saying the 2nd Amendment is out of date or misinterpreted are in my opinion wrong ,
I believe the 2nd, was to ensure the general population of the us is better armed (more guns) than the governing body of the U.S.. This is to ensure unjust laws and encroachments on our liberties can not be executed the ability to rise up and say in a big voice NO! is in the nature of the United States.
The second amendment can be overturned. If enough people want to ban guns in the hands of individuals, their is a legal process for that. It’s not called a local ordinance, and it is not called an executive order. And believe it or not, it’s not even called a Supreme Court decision. It is called a Constitutional Amendment. The Constitution is not a sacred document; it is a living document, owned by “we the people”. We can change it with our vote. That is not to be done lightly, but it is our right as sole owners.
Four times Obama tried to get an assault weapons ban in the US. Four times the Republicans and half the Democrats in Congress voted no. No one is going to get the 2nd Amendment overturned. By the way the majority of Americans don’t want to overturn the 2nd and it isn’t in their hands.
The Second Amendment to the Constitution did not GIVE anyone the RIGHT to bear arms. That is our God-given right, part of being able to defend ourselves from those who would do us harm—including the government. Repealing the 2nd Amendment will change nothing! We will still have that right.
Does anybody Really, Seriously, Thoughtfully, of sound mind want the government, Any Government to be the only people in the nation to possess firearms???????
many countries have taken the right of their citizens to own weapons and then close to 200 million people were murdered by their governments.
Olberman is just a putz. If the 1st, the 3rd, at the time the Bill of Rights was written, the 4th, the 5th, the 6th, the 7th, and the 8th Amendments are all individual rights, the application of Occam’s Razor to the first eight amendment would yield a result that the 2nd Amendment was also an individual right. If it merely dealt with militias, the 2nd Amendment would be superfluous because the 9th and 10th Amendments would give the States the right to raise militias anyway.
i am a proud liberal, keith olberman is an idiot, everyone has the right to own guns and defend themselves!!
I seem to recall we recently had another alleged “Constitutional scholar,” an occupant of the White House, sadly, who was dead certain the 2nd Amendment does not mean what it plainly says.
Kick these bozos to the curb and drive on. Don’t let them determine the course this Nation takes.
My best hope for people like that is they die under the wheels of a truck driven by a Muslim fanatic.
Also, good point about Planned Parenthood, Michael S! 40 million (and counting) humans snuffed out to the applause of idiots like Olbermann, Feinstein, Clinton, Obama.
I am a member of the NRA and have been for decades. I know for a fact that I am not a terrorist of any kind and also know that the NRA is most definitely not a terrorist organization. However, for Keith Obermann I am not so sure that he isn’t a terrorist or maybe he is just totally nuts. One of the two is true for sure.
His mouth is a terrorist.
Completely idiotic perception of the 2nd admendment of the US Constitution from Mr. Olbermann…what he fails to address is the fact that if you think you can stop mass killings or even individual murders in this country by banning law abiding citizens from having (owning) guns with laws and prohibition, then how do you prevent the mentally ill and the criminals from getting their hands on them? Does he think these people will honor his laws and rules for not having guns? Seriously? Does he understand that criminals and the mentally ill do not abide by laws nor do they care about doing the lawful thing? They’re criminals and insane, for crying out loud! Let’s make it easier for these people to get their hands on guns and the rest of us not be able to at least try and defend ourselves…completely idiotic thinking. The real resolution of this tragic and horrible issue in this country should include developing programs and processes on how to identify those who have a mental deficiency and prevent THEM from getting a gun. Most people who I know that legally own guns would have any problem being determined mentally competent by a licensed practioner to keep their guns. In addition, we need to have more police officers and law enforcement resources on the street to help eradicate the criminals from our midst rather than have the ones we have write speeding tickets and give citations for jay walking….these are the real things that will help prevent the mass murdering of our citizens. Then we’ll all sleep much safer at night, with my .45 Auto with reach if I should need to protect my family and me from any harm. Wake up Olbermann, you are way off base!
I hear what you are saying about more cops, but they can’t be everywhere for everyone. We have to protect ourselves. But they do investigate, and arrest them, then the courts slaps them on the wrist with a light or no sentence and it starts all over again. The judicial branch is our weak link, our Founding Fathers warned us about giving them too much power. We need severe consequences for any crime committed with a firearm and even more severe for repeat offenders.
LAW ENFORCEMENT IS RECATIVE
It’s easy to tell how ignorant liberals are because they immediately spew the latest talking points as soon as they come out. Case in point, “dog whistle.”
Having this clown interpret the Constitution for you is like …..fill it in yourself
I don’t recall hearing that Oberman (Ubermann??) has a law degree or ANY qualification / training in constitutional law which would allow him interpret the intent of the drafters of that document. Oh yeah, I momentarilly forgot that libtards don’t need to know the facts in order to broadcast their ill informed and uneducated rants.
Don’t go there. I’m not inclined to leave our Constitution in the hands of lawyers. Oberman has a right to his opinion, as do you and I. He does have an unfair advantage with his bully pulpit, so we have to do our part. Vote. Write your congressman. Write your newspaper. Rebut where ever you can. Show yourself to be responsible, law abiding citizen.
Does Mr. Olbermann still live with his mother?
In the basement of her house?
mr Olberman has never struck me as particularly cerebral or sophisticated. Thus, I have come to expect a rather primitive evaluation and assessment of such events from him and his kind.
The Dems like to point out that they are college educated and a keen sense of humanity. However, they’ve never been able to comprehend logic. If you were to ask them to define, say…Boolean logic, they would describe it as a bowl of soup.
The Dems and Leftists movements of this society are ignorant and very dangerous. Even President Obama publicly encouraged people to “protest loudly”. Hence, the group Antifa, who publicly destroy public property and assaults conservatives is hailed by Dems as protecting our “free speech”. REALLY??? So, their only move in the wake of a mass shooting is to go after the weapon used to commit the crime. Meanwhile, HUGE number of shootings(murders) in Chicago have all gone unchecked. Apparently, guns are not the problem there, they say…it’s an intercity culture problem that needs to be addressed. And let us not forget, even Hillary Clinton herself has claimed we have a police violence problem where our police are targeting and killing too many Black males in our city. Dems seem to really dislike the fact that it’s our police who protect us.
The bottom line:
Even “IF” you have every gun law written up that you could muster in a attempt to stop mass killings…there will be some psycho willing to do whatever it takes to kill lots of people, be it guns, explosives, automobiles, poison, or any other means. Also, if Dems decide to confiscate all guns in the USA…that will make it that much easier for terrorists to care out their diabolical mission here in this country.
God Bless the USA, it’s military, it’s police force, and it’s law abiding conservatives(NRA)!!!
Tman, the Progs are like the Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz. They think having a piece of paper means they are smarter than anyone who doesn’t. If the other person has a degree from a college not known for communist stupidity they feel they are superior to that degreed person. They are idiots. They are often frustrated because the guy who went to vocational school is making a hundred grand a year as a plumber and has no debt. They aren’t smart enough to replace a tank kit so they have to call this “disgusting , uneducated” person to do things they can’t. While he is fixing their toilet he is unmoved and heaven forbid may even reject their small talk about why we need higher taxes and gun control, abortion on demand etc. I could go on and on.
Sticks and stones. The NRA, need I remind you, is one of the few organizations on Capitol Hill, that represents ordinary Americans. Gun Owners are ordinary. Guns, like automobiles, are ordinary. Yes, what happened in Vegas is a tragedy, yes, this guy used a bump stock [ I don’t believe in them ], yes, he had semi auto military look alike [ don’t think the ordinary person needs them ] SO, here we are, the LEFT is spouting it’s usual hatefull message, Hill o’ Beans is Campaigning, the NRA has become a target as Terrorist, and I still hate Lima beans.
according to front site training center the shooter was given a prescription for anxiety and depression in june of 2016, and showed a list of every mass shooter and the drugs they were on. you can find it on you tube
“True terrorists” aren’t people like you know don’t know the facts, they’re people like you who REFUSE TO ACCEPT the facts.
Just another liberal douche bag that believes is biased liberal thoughts are important
Keith Olberman is a gaping asshole. Who care what that far left nut bag says or thinks? Perhaps some day they may find a cure for the mental disease known as liberalism, but until then I will do my best to ignore the douche bags. When they get under my skin, I go out and buy another rifle, a bunch of hi cap mags and a case of ammo. Living well is the best revenge.
The NRA is the biggest gun safety advocate in this country. How is that advocating for terrorism? I find it interesting that the Democratic Party is advocating so hard to repeal the 2A. Given the FACTS that all the mass killings in the last two decades have been done by registered democrats maybe we should make the Democratic Party illegal in this country. That seems to have a stronger association to being a mass murder than owning a gun or being a member of the NRA or the Republican Party.
I’ve been a volunteer firefighter and an Emergency Medical Technician for most of my life. I’m also an 11th hour Hospice Volunteer, helping people through their last hours. Yet, as an NRA member and gun owner, I’m now considered a terrorist? Amazing how clueless people can throw around labels.
Thank you for your service. You are not a terrorist….the Dems are anti American terrorists living here in the U.S. and they should be treated as such!
If the 2nd. amendment is ever repealed, The rest of the constitution wont be far behind.
Keith Olberman is a communist.
Olberman is a sports announcer. I didn’t know stupid was a sport.
Amen! I remember Olberman as the back-up sports reporter for a big three network in San Diego.
Americans are mechanical geniuses. Just look at all the innovation to comply with the ridiculous gun laws here in the Democratic People’s Republik of Kalifornia. John Browning made a lever action automatic in the 19th century!
The real terrorists are the Media ..and most of congress…
Mr. Spottedcrow, you are absolutely correct. Until the mental disease “Liberalism” is cured, wiped out, our Nation will always be in jeopardy. For hundreds of years the Democratic cult has been an enemy to the people of this Country. As the history of our Country is destroyed through ignorance, the next generation will know nothing of what a Democratic government did to the American Indians, the Negroes, and anyone who tried to stand up to that evil. And it is still going on. Indeed, the Media & the majority of Congress are not our friends.
Remove firearms from all citizens, leaving firearms only to those who are in authority! This is the true definition of Socialism. This has been tried many times in the past. Only to result in the most destructive era of modern time. Proof positive, The new Chancellor of Germany 1934, Adolph Hitler! Eleven years later multiple nations in ruins! We can never allow this evil part of history to repeat itself ! Learn from the past or fail in the future!
And look what is going on in Australia right now. On this morning’s news was shown a pile of firearms that were “voluntarily” turned in to the “authorities”. Australia, like many of the European Countries, has a major problem with Muslims. Yeah mate, give up your personal protection. That’s exactly what the gun nuts, and Muslim supporters want you to do. And America is following the same stupid road . We have yet to see the sheer idiocy in allowing/welcoming millions of Radical Muslims into Our Country. If they are Muslim they are radical, and refuse to accept the laws and customs of America. Way past time to enforce existing laws, and remove this real threat from our part of the World. Like the old saying, “pay now or pay later”. One way or another we are going to pay for the foolish mistakes made by politicians.
Olberman, you need to get some education on the NRA. It’s true you can’t fix stupid, but pardon my assumption, you are a Democrat.
The Supreme Court thinks otherwise Keith. Your loony left lost.
Olberman is a left wing nit wit too ignorant to realize the importance of every amendment to the constitution. The 2nd Amendment ensures all the others. They need to remove such ignorance off TV.
The onliest reason that comments of people of Oberman’s socio-economic-political persuasion are published is because they have achieved some sort of notoriety in fields of endeavour completely distinct from anything rational. Who cares what they think about anything?
How long does he feel that the freedom of the press and speech would last, when you start removing any part of the bill of rights.
Ol Theodore is nothing but another liberal loon, so who care’s?
“Keith Olbermann: NRA is a Terrorist Organization”
The best part of Keith Olbermann’s career was watching it crash and burn.
The only terrorist organization in the United States is the left-wing liberals that permeate the Democratic party!
Olberman is a communist.Period.
Considering the recent calls for gun control, I do feel that we need to consider somethings to safeguard our communities. I feel that we need to look carefully at the social influences that many people identify with as example.
1. Do they value human lives?
2. Do they believe that we are empowered to direct our own lives?
3. Do they have respect for a higher power who holds them accountable for their actions?
4. Do they value history as evidence of who we were so we can chart a better destiny for our society?
If a perspective gun owner answers no to any of these questions, they should not be given a weapon of any kind. Why? Because they are Democrats, and as history has shown they should not be allowed access to weapons. Please see a brief history below.
In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.
In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States who later died from the wound.

In Sept 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy ship yard.
In 2016 a registered Muslim Democrat murdered 49 people in an Orlando night club.
One could go on, but you get the point, even if the media does nothing.
Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns.
Not one NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservative was involved in these shootings and murders.
Your “facts” are fake news, and Oberman is right.
We need not fear Muslims, we need to fear whites with guns, and you’re IDIOTS for claiming it to be democrats. Anyone with half a brain can tell that what you’re pushing here are not facts, but is fake news and fear mongering. I’m done with your BULLSHIT emails. The NRA and the KKK are two off the same breed. Quit the hate and fear mongering and grow a set of balls.
Wilbur, what law would you prose to stop a man like the shooter? Make murder illegal? Make using a gun in a crime illegal? Make using explosives illegal? Make converting a gun to fire automatically illegal? Background checks for purchase of a gun? All of these laws are on the books, so tell me, what new law would stop shootings like this? Or you could go troll some place else.
The militant arm of the Democrat party, the kkk, was an all but dead running joke till the Left dragged out it’s corpse and began hosing it off. It’s funny how the kkk, like in the early days, is once again being used to frighten them darkies.
At 5 million armed members the NRA appears to be the most law abiding “Terrorist” organization in human history.
Fake news? These are easily verifiable as facts. You call them fake news, yet they happened. Please provide one example of an NRA member participating in a mass shooting. Just one. It has NEVER happened. As far as Keith Olberman, not one, but TWO extreme left organizations have fired him for being “too radical”. Let THAT sink in. And why is it that you liberals always seem so preoccupied with male genitalia?
” Fake News” ? Wilbur, are you saying those deranged sick people who committed these heinous acts were not Democrats ? I mean it’s pretty easy to substantiate yes or no. Maybe you’re just in denial.
Wilbur, YOU are an excellent example of the completely ignorant radical left tearing up this country. You pick and choose your so-called “truth” to fit your and your cowardly group’s narrative, versus actually comprehending reality. I feel sad for your parents. Perhaps if you had been born with a “set of balls” as your childish rant put it, you could stand on your own two feet, think for yourself and COMPREHEND the truth as it exists. No, you need to keep your head in the sand (I am certain no other part of you has been anywhere NEAR the sand, as in parts of the middle east, because you obviously have zero fortitude) and parrot your communist party’s chant. What a waste of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen you turned out to be.
JIM66, this guy is an example of today’s Democrat. They will boldly and proudly tell you black is white, 2+2=7, terrorists are victims, ad infinitum.
They have been in a hysterical state since losing the election. Just look at all the illegal and unethical things they were doing, especially at the compromised Department of Justice and bugging or surveilling Trump and Republicans. All highly illegal. They were convinced they about to get their long dreamed of Social Democrat Police state where you could be thrown in jail for coming to a site like this one. Those hysterical black clad filth you see at every demonstration thought they were going to become the police of this police state. Their only fear or unknown? How were they going to do it while we have 300 million guns and over one trillion rounds of ammunition?
The NRA and gun owners are the cement of freedom today.
WILBUR is the typical UNEDUCATED brainless Liberal RETARD troll…no clue what he\’s talking about,,but just repeats what his Liberal Demoncrats handlers tell him,,the criminal Democrats dont have a mind of their own,they just obey like good little dogs,
Wilbur reminds us to never underestimate the stupidity of lefties and progressives.
Obviously this Democratic brain dead liberal is a Muslim supporter. Please try to forgive him. He has a fatal disease called “Liberalism”. “We need not fear Muslims”! What examples does one need to realize that Muslims are not here to be citizens, but rather to make all non believers, Infidels, dead.
Wilbur,
We could answer your post, point for point in meticulous detail and nothing would change. Your mind is made up and there is no chance that I can see that it would change anything. Have a nice life . . . elsewhere.
Wilbur, You are a very bitter uneducated man based on your clueless statements. The list that you condemned outright as fake news has been around for a decade or more and just continues to grow longer. It is either always a Democrat, a Muslim or someone who is on anti depressants (almost always Democrats) who commit these mass murders. You can’t handle the truth. If any new law is necessary to stop mass murders, then let Congress ban far left liberal Democrats. Problem solved!
Wait, let me guess. You’re a Democrat? Are you disgruntled because your parents named you Wilbur. Do you own a gun? Should we be concerned?
Mr Olbermann is an idiot, and I really wish people that have no clue about the NRA or the 2nd amendment would shut the hell up! The NRA was established 146 years ago as a source of information for those interested in firearms. They spend more money and time and effort educating gun owners, informing people about safe use of firearms, fighting to keep violent criminals behind bars, teaching safety to young people, and sponsoring product shows, shooting events, supporting our Olympic shooting athletes, and as a source of historical firearm information that any other group or agency in the World. During WWII the NRA was responsible for arranging the donation of thousands of firearms to be shipped to Europe to support the resistance fighters and help arm civilians so they could support each other against the oppression. Never has the NRA shown anything but almost a Norman Rockwell memory of the use of firearms in building our nation and traditions of hunting and family in the outdoors. It is a fabricated untruth beyond belief to even suggest they have any connection to terrorism.
The 2nd amendment was included in the Bill of Rights and therefore the Constitution because our forefathers had the foresight to understand that no citizen of our country should ever be denied the right to defend their life, family, and country again. It is that fact that guarantees if anyone ever tries to take away our promised freedoms and God given rights we will have the means to resist. Once lost those freedoms will never be regained. Any true American knows this, it is why any official representative of the people takes an oath to preserve them.
I know the mass shootings terrible and emotional, but stop and think before so easily suggesting to do away with any part of our Nation’s blueprint. All parts of our founding documents are what made this country the best on the planet. Just the fact that coming to America is the greatest dream for many all around the World says it all.
You know the mass shootings terrible and emotional? Did you get past the 3rd grade?
Hey Wilbur you said in your last post you were done with our bullshit. Why are you still here commenting? If you want to have a different opinion and a discussion thatxs fine. No need to be rude or call someone out because of a typo. I’m only saying this because you seem to be proving Will’s point about where all the hate is coming from.
Wilbur’s OK with the shooting because they were country music fans who most likely voted for Trump. He also gets paid by the post for trolling.
Great rebuttal, Wilbur, “did you get past the 3rd grade?”. Damn, you really tore him a new one.
No comment!………………….
Keith Olberman is ignorant and knows NOTHING about the NRA, except what he heard Chuck Schumer say. He talks and talks and talks, and nothing but drivel comes out. He really should do some due diligence on the NRA BEFORE he opens his mouth and confirms what we’ve suspected all along-that he’s an idiot.
There is a problem with the 2nd Amendment. It should have been the 1st Amendment, since other guarantees are less valuable without it.
“It is time to end refusing to call mass murderers who do not have obvious political motives terrorists,” said Olbermann.”
You mean like Planned Parenthood?
Keith what’s his name can kiss my ass and go to hell.
To Mr. Olberman the 1A was drafted by our founders and framers to ensure the freedom of the press (I’m going to cherry pick only the part that serves my purpose the same way you do) Since I don’t consider you a true journalist or member of the established press I feel you should keep your opinions to yourself. Thank you
I find that the true terrorists are the liberal news media outlets. They are the cause of these problems with all the lies they tell and that so many people believe there hogwash
Amen brother.
Very true!
“There hogwash”? Nice grammar.
Wilbur you are obviously an un-informed English teacher? Is that the best you have to nit pick someone’s grammar. What a loser!
Wilbur….you can’t make a point with facts so you pick on people for a typo or spelling error. I can understand a simple spelling mistake but can not begin to grasp you total ignorance of the NRA , the Founding Fathers or the basic human right to self protection from nut jobs like you, Olberman or the loonies on the Left.
