Wane.com Proves What We Already Know About Anti-Gun Zealots

Are gun control advocates opportunists, willing to turn a tragedy into an opening for their agenda? Most certainly, and Wane.com, a news site from Fort Wayne, Indiana, practically brags about it:

“Could January’s mass shootings in Tucson, Arizona lead to new gun restrictions? Fort Wayne’s former mayor, Paul Helmke , hopes so.”

The problem is that the article is that it praises Helmke’s efforts, yet offers no rebuttal. So the head of the Brady Campaign is able to make his statements without any challenge – talk about an opportunity. The article even quotes Helmke:

“”I am not anti-gun. I am not trying to take your guns away. I’m looking for some common sense.”

The problem here is that we don’t know, or do we believe, what he is saying. What is the common sense? He constantly campaigns for stricter gun control – which for the record was the original point of the Brady Center. So he may say that he is “not anti-gun” but that’s a far cry from being pro-gun, or even being silent on the issue.

And sorry, but we do think he is, in fact, trying to take our guns away.

Tonight Show and Bill Maher Spew Anti-Gun Nonsense

Bill Maher is one of those people who is a comedian by trade, yet just isn’t funny. He of course talks about paranoid right wingers, and when he says it he comes off as just a truly paranoid individual. But he took his vile and hate to the airwaves with Jay Leno this week to recap the shooting in Tucson.

Here is what Maher had to say about the Second Amendment:

“I’m so tired of hearing about the Second Amendment and the Constitution. If you love guns just admit it like it’s a vice. It’s like alcohol or drugs or sex addiction [Scattered applause] or gambling. It’s just a vice. It’s something you like. It’s not good for you or anybody else. You just like it. But stop the bulls–t about the second amendment in the Constitution, because nobody needs — nobody needs a gun that fires 31 rounds.” Read more

Brady Campaign Not Anti-Gun?

Isn’t the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence anti-gun? That’s really a no brainer question, but our friends at Newsbusters noted that on ABC’s Good Morning America the group tried to present itself as anything but.

Here is what Newsbusters had to say: 

“According to Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts on Monday, the efforts of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence aren’t ‘anti-gun.’ The morning show co-host interviewed Colin Goddard, the group’s assistant director of legislative affairs, and promoted a new documentary on the ‘gun show loophole.’

“Colin Goddard survived the massacre at Virginia Tech and now works for the aggressively anti-Second Amendment organization. Yet, while talking to Goddard, she portrayed the group’s work as just common sense. She exclaimed, ‘Because you’re not anti-gun.’”

ColorLines Looks at Issue in Black and White

In a post titled, “It’s Official: Lax Gun Control Laws Lead to More Crime,” it is clear that the writer had an agenda, an anti-gun agenda. Coming from this highly liberal news site we should be surprised. The problem with this statement is that it is not “official” in any way. They don’t cite any studies that suggest that lax gun control leads to more crime. Shouldn’t such a bold statement in a headline be backed up with actual facts?

Of course we shouldn’t be surprised, as this same site offers this suggestion: “Drop the I-Word – People are not “illegals.” Pledge to drop the I-word and ask media to do the same.” Our response, “some people are ILLEGAL and we’ll continue to use the word “ILLEGALS.” What is actually official is that sites like this have a clear-cut bias against guns, would be content to let ILLEGALS take come freely to America and basically would hope to change the nation in ways that we cannot accept. Clearly the Constitution means nothing to these people.

Kudos to The Kansas City Star for Setting the Record Straight

Here is one of those times we’re happy with what the mainstream media has to say on the issue of firearms. In an editorial The Kansas City Star calls out New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s zealot anti-gun group for what it really is…

 ”Bloomberg created ‘Mayors Against Illegal Guns’ as a front group to lobby Congress to oppose important pro-gun reforms and support new federal gun control restrictions. And some mayors have joined or been duped into joining this anti-gun Bloomberg crusade.”
