Chinese and Mexicans! They are a comin'!

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... asies.html

"The Chinese are coming, the Chinese are coming! And the Mexicans too.

That was the warning of Wayne LaPierre’s speech to CPAC this morning. LaPierre, the executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association, delivered what was perhaps the most well received speech of the conference so far. The spokesman for the embattled gun advocacy group warned the crowd of conservatives activists that universal background checks for gun purchases was only a precursor for a government database which could be “hacked by the Chinese” or “given to the Mexican government.”

LaPierre’s entire speech was a window into what historian Richard Hofstater famously described as “the paranoid style in American politics.” He raged against "Powerful elites, who will always have armed security” who opposed the NRA’s proposal for armed security at every school and scorned out of touch liberals who wanted Americans to use scissors and ballpoint pens to defend themselves from criminals, rather than firearms.

LaPierre went on to warn that the gun control proponents don’t want to keep the guns out of the hands of criminals or the mentally ill, just “good law abiding people, people like you and me.”

The biggest applause came at the end of LaPierre’s speech when he mocked Joe Biden’s advice for American housewives to buy a shotgun to defend themselves. He told the Vice President, “you keep your advice, we’ll keep our guns."

LaPierre’s speech immediately followed a panel on why Republicans lost the 2012 election and what they could do differently in the future. But while the panelists discussed different ways for conservatives to change their message and reach out to new demographics, it was clear that the NRA’s spokesman didn’t feel the need to alter one word of his rhetoric."

lapierre's rhetoric is why the gop is going to continue to lose elections.

#6 - Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo...

#5 - A gun doesn't take up a lot of closet space...

#4 - A gun functions normally every day of the month...

If those people had more guns... then they wouldn't have killed themselves because they would be afraid of getting shot and killed.

wait what?

...
Isn't that how it works?
Like if the person was going to shoot himself and he had another gun to protect him, he could have saved the day and been a hero by killing the person who was going to shoot him.
Makes perfect sense to me. I Am NRA (and I vote (then think if the guy I didn't vote for wins, it's okay to shoot him))

I wish some of you anti-gunners had this much passion for something like auditing the Federal Reserve, ending the military police state, and domestic monetary policy regardless of which party was in control of Congress or who was in the white house. We might actually fix some things.

Question: Who will audit the Federal Reserve? The Feds? Arthur Andersen?
Question: What Military Police state? I don't know where you live, but I mostly see local Cypress Police roaming my streets, not Bradley Personel Carriers.
Question: Wouldn't the Domestic monetary policy remain in place, even if there is a Third or Fourth party candidate in office?
...
Question: HOW do you propose we 'fix' these things?

Your gun control works so well in Chicago, doesn't it? Gun laws are only obeyed by the law-abiding.

I am not a member of the NRA, maybe you missed the part that I said I cancelled my membership. The NRA compromises. I do not. The rest of your bullets are off-topic and I'm not going to address them.

I saw you canceled your membership. Just because you don't belong doesn;t mean you don't agree with their ridiculous point of view.

The rest of my bullets are off topic? The topic was a joke about the NRA, your entire post was off topic then.

Go hide in your closet with your gun and wait for the big bad government to come and try to take it.

Yeah, you're right. Let's just leave things how they are, everything is going so well.

You didn't answer my question... HOW do you propose we fix those things? I have no fucking idea how to fix them... but, apparently... you do.
So, what are the answers?
...
Let me add that on my priority list... death by gun ranks higher than auditing the Federal Reserve... I guess it's because... silly me, i care more about other people's lives than fucking money.

I've answered those questions a thousand times. I've figured out some things here, too many are stuck and will never change. I'm done talking to walls.

Oh, but unsung, talking to the walls can be a great comfort!

Can't watch the video at work, but yes I've found that the conversation is often less frustrating.


The thing is I used to be a democrat so I'm hoping some of you will someday see the light of being a Libertarian. They actually have many things in common.

Fair enough... then, how about this, direct me to one the the thousands of answers you've already posted on how to fix these issues you speak of. I mean, if I answered something a thousand times, I would probably be able to present them in a brief statement. You're a smart guy, I believe you are capable of this, too.

You're a smart guy and I believe you are capable of using the search function.

Search function... like 'Unsung's Answers'?
That does not work.
...
With every response you make... you are proving to me that you don't know... and you have not answered those questions a thousand times.
I sincerely hope you prove me wrong by either pointing me to one of your previous posts that provides these answers or just sum up your views in brief, 3 or 4 sentence paragraphs. Because, I would really like to know.

Again, here are the questions:
