Most people who work in government or on the hill that I've interacted with understand how retarded the republicans are, the problem remains that no one can agree on how to address this as a group.

So the head of the NRA just gave a public statement in which he called for armed guards in every school, railed against the "corrupting shadow industry" of video games, and revealed himself to be a completely unhinged, paranoid nutbag in general. Should be interesting to see how Fox News and right-wing talk radio respond to this.

Apparently, Newgrounds members among the NRA. Not exactly current, the NRA. Called out the media itself for demonizing guns, and I'm not sure that will end well for him. Unless, of course, the media continues it's "lay down and curl up" form of reporting where they just parrot and not do any actual research and reporting.

One of the shooters at the elementary school was black. I've been jumped by 6 black gang members two days in a row because they seem to think they can take whatever they want, and I fought them all off... So keep your racist comments off my channel. None of this is correct, and the end belongs in the poo poo that didn't happen thread in PYF.

I can't imagine this is going to go over well. There has been a push for gun control in the past week like I've never seen in my life, people are in fact blaming the drat guns. It reminds me of the Nation Journal article where in an effort to blame anything but guns they just blamed women instead, and even on the freakin National Journal, most of the comments seemed to be summed up in "wtf?"

This is so unsurprising after Wayne's unhinged diatribe at CPAC insisting that Obama was coming to take his guns his -second- term. And yet, I'm a little surprised. Jesus.

He literally blamed this Flash game from 2002. Here's video of the part where he talks about video games. It's 1994 all over again, guys.

Ballz posted:How could you have left out the most salacious game he mentioned? That just drives me goddamn crazy. The right likes to say 'not every gun owner is a psychopath', but not every gamer is a psychopath either and that doesn't stop them from laying the blame there. Video games are an influence; guns are a tool. To turn it around, not everyone who's gone on a shooting spree was an avid gamer... but I think I can guarantee that all of them had a gun.

How much blame should a newer, more realistic looking game get? For example, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, endorsed by NRA board member Oliver North. That's gotta be having a bigger impact than Mortal Kombat, right?

It is vitally important that we create a national database of every single person with a mental illness. It's also vitally important that we completely ignore that database if the person wants to buy a gun from a swap meet at the county fairgrounds.

I was driving around listening to Rush (because I loathe "you bet your garden") and he was talking about how low information voters are keeping gossip rags in print. Hearing him prattle on about Victoria Beckhams $500 pajamas David bought her for Christmas, or Chris Brown being in an Amsterdam Coffe shop with THREE JOINTS OF MARIJUANA in his mouth, and Tim Tebow dumping his girlfriend made my day. Each snippet story was prefaced with," low information voters care about this information folks, I know because I went to their website and this is what the left is talking about. "
