Conversation Piece

The Missing Conversation on Guns ... calls for a national conversation on America's culture of guns and violence ... a conversation that has not taken place ... "a national conversation" ... those conversations ... The calls for a conversation on America's gun culture ... [More] 

Oh, looky here.

And here.

And here.

And ... what was it you wanted to talk about again, Reid Wilson? Besides continually parroting this transparent gun-grabber talking point?

OK, here's the starting point for our "national conversation".

A Conversation We Need to Have

You  know, listening to useful idiot "peace" loons who know absolutely nothing about guns to establish policy and law... [Read]

Note the code phrases  about "common sense" and "conversation we need to have."  Note the goals:

*reinstating the federal assault weapons ban...
*closing the so-called “gun show loophole”...

That "national conversation" language is straight out of Brady, and part of a coordinated anti-gun subversive/media/political axis., intended to filter into the national consciousness by being repeated over and over and over by all three.

Check out the Democrat platform:

We believe in an honest, open national conversation about firearms. We can focus on effective enforcement of existing laws, especially strengthening our background check system, and we can work together to enact commonsense improvements—like reinstating the assault weapons ban and closing the gun show loophole...

Here's my contribution to the conversation we need to have:

No. Now stop bothering us and go away. Or make your move.

The Most Busted Scam in America

The 2018 CNN gun town hall in Parkland, Florida, has won a Walter Cronkite award for best "National Network News Program" for helping to "advance the national conversation on gun control and violence." [More]

And that's the way it is...

UPDATE: It depends upon what the meaning of the term "advance the national conversation on gun control and violence" is.

You Know That "National Conversation on Guns" All the Antis Wanted to Have?

It was never really a conversation. It wasn't even a monologue. It was a dictation of the terms of surrender: Obey or die. [Read] 

Good job, Kurt, as always.

I'm exhausted, it's snowing, I've had a hell of a day, it's Friday night and I'm shutting down. Don't expect emails answered or comments moderated for the rest of the day. 

And There Was War in Heaven

“If you think about it, the president, as I remember, said he wants more conversation. Well, we’ve been saying this for quite a while now. We don’t need more talk. [More]

But...but...but...

And Dan Gross worked so hard on creating that "We need to have a national conversation on guns" slogan...

An Open Mind

I don’t care what you tell me. I’m blaming the National Rifle Association, its supporters, its law-making lackeys and anyone else who has promoted the idea we should all be paranoid gun-carriers... [More]

Yes, by all means, let's have that "national conversation on guns"...

Bloomberg continues debate-avoiding stealth media events with prop ‘gun owners’

The announcement hardly leaves enough time for gun rights activists hearing about the demonstrations now to mount counter-presences to the events. That is intentional. [More]

This afternoon’s Gun Rights Examiner report asks "What if you held a national conversation on guns and didn’t tell the side that’s FOR them?" And why aren’t you hearing about this from the “real reporters”?

Plastic Fantastic Lover

It works with plastic, it is fantastic, and I love it. [More]

So naturally, the antis want anyone who feels that way to die, and are even eager to help kill us.

Really.

Go read Kurt's piece. He not only explains, he shows.

Kind'a makes me want to go have a "national conversation on guns" and maybe even offer up a "compromise" or two in the name of "common sense." Either that or tell them to f*** off and come show me what they're made of.

How 'bout you?

It IS a Mental Disorder

But perhaps no incident better expressed the protesters' tenuous hold on sanity than a demonstration at the Supreme Court, where protesters — mostly women — broke through a police line and barged to the Court's chamber, where they proceeded to wail, gnash teeth, and pound at the doors while Kavanaugh was being sworn in inside.

Just the people I want to have a "national conversation on guns" with.

* By the way, Herschel's link to the Moloch piece has a great example in comments of what that "national conversation on guns" -- the one "progressives" say they want -- looks like in practice:

Hey, I know one of those guys. He sure is set in his own ways.

Talk about all the obnoxious example one needs to see why that "national conversation" (that is, being lectured and insulted by fools) they're always demanding is a complete waste of time.

Gun Violence and the ‘War On Drugs’

We need to have an open, objective dialogue about this unwinnable war, and discuss public policy options and implications. [More] 

Paul Gallant, Sherry Gallant, Alan J. Chwick, and Joanne D. Eisen have put out an important new paper.

Note all the calls for "a national conversation" we've seen to date have to do with making those of us who have nothing to do with this more vulnerable to both sides profiting from the status quo.

Make no mistake--this is what made Fast and Furious possible.  This is what makes MRAPs on our streets, and militarized police and no-knock dynamic entries inevitable.

Mein Kampf

In the aftermath of the Aurora shooting that killed 12, injured 58, and renewed a national conversation about gun control, state Rep. Warren Kampf (R-157) signaled a willingness this week to consider legislation that would place restrictions on gun ownership in Pennsylvania. [Read]

Punish him. Throw him out. No excuses. I don't care if his opposition may be a gungrabber who wins. Tolerate this with no consequences and perpetuate what got us into this no real choices mess in the first damn place.

Look how he's repaid his supporters:

NRA members came out in support of his A- rated opponent, Warren Kampf, to drive him over the margin for victory. Gun owners in the district now have a friend of their rights in office to rally behind.

Sure they do.  How fitting that today's "History" post focused on Benedict Arnold.Anyone who tells you a traitor is "the lesser of two evils" is either a liar or a fool.

After Newtown shooting, it’s time to have that ‘national conversation on guns’

The bottom line is, he was evil, and evil is something that will devour those who do not resist it, repel it and send it howling back into the darkness. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary speaks of the unspeakable. It's within our power to take over the dialogue, and there's never been a better time than now.

But we're the racists.

And I'd reply to Shannon and ask her what kind of cover she provided her corporate masters for the black groundskeeper who a jury concluded they'd given cancer to, but suppressing her role takes priority over having that "national conversation on guns" the grabbers keep saying we're avoiding:

And if you want to argue about glyphosate, that's not the point. The left says they believe it-- I'm merely pointing out how they give selective passes to those pushing another part of their agenda, proving they are insincere opportunists who scream bloody murder when they can smear an enemy but sweep everything under the rug when one of their own gets caught.

Cop rape case highlights life-endangering outrage of ‘Only Ones’ mentality

But at what point would physical resistance to officer abuse under color of authority become appropriate, from both a moral and legal standpoint? At what point would a citizen be able to engage in self-defense against an attacker with a badge, up to and including using lethal force to stop a threat? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary adds another dimension to that "national conversation on guns" the antis say they want to have.  Why not see if they're serious? Send them this link, then watch them shuffle, evade, change the subject, attack, ridicule and do everything but directly answer the following question: Under what circumstances would you find it morally justifiable to shoot a police officer?
