Follow "Fast and Furious"- It's an attempt by obama and holder to take away second Amendment rights. Check out this clip about their motives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFIpoL3jrfo&feature=g-all-u Response to AARP anti-gun rghts?: I believe that everyone should own a gun and know how to use it. I am hearing that the AARP has adopted an anti-gun position. The AARP ought to rethink their stance and support the rights of everyone to own a gun, go to the church of their choice, to participate in a free election, and speak their mind. I am offended that the AARP does not publicly proclaim a PRO-gun right stance. Posted by DKDeckmann |

More Lies and hatred against President Obama. Please anything Republican Right Wing Hater Bill Whittle has to say No fair and honest person should trust. The National Rifle Association donates $250 million dollars to the Republican Party and Bill Whittle is on their team to spread hate and fear of President Obama. President Obama could solve World Peace and you would'nt give him any credit. n Response to Re: AARP anti-gun rghts?: Follow "Fast and Furious"- It's an attempt by obama and holder to take away second Amendment rights.

Then why, pray tell is this being hid behind "executive priviledge", something Senator Obama said should not be used by President Bush 5 years ago? I guess we should only trust "honest" reporters like chris mathews, rachel maddow and bill maher. What Whittle says makes sense. Many democrats want this matter resolved. It's turning out to be a Watergate style coverup with Brian Terry dead along with over 300 Mexicans. Don't they deserve justice?

President George W. Bush started this operation under the code name "Gunwalking" in 2006 and now President Obama is being set up to take the fall. Another mess like the Iraq War that President Bush got us into.. Bush initiated the program and now its President Obama's fault. If President Obama fights for gun control, the National Rifle Assoc is all over him for denying everyone's " Right To Bear Arms". This ATF Gunwalking operation shows how freely guns " Weapons of Mass Destruction" are bought in President Bush's own back yard in Texas. Did Bush do anything about it ??? Heck no the republicans would never mess with the National Rifle Assoc.n Response to Re: AARP anti-gun rghts?: Then why, pray tell is this being hid behind "executive priviledge", something Senator Obama said should not be used by President Bush 5 years ago?

Operation "Wide Receiver" was nothing like "Fast and Furious". First off, a few hundred guns were involved and they all had electronic tracking devices on them. Second, the Mexican Government was informed of the operation. And finally nobody was killed. Fast and furious involved thousands of guns with only a few having tracking chips. The Mexican Government wasn't informed. And finally Brian terry and 300 Mexicans are dead. But then again, the original intent to kill as many as posible so that the government could claim that there was a need for very strict gun control. You may also note that "Wide Receiver" was discontinued. Response to Re: AARP anti-gun rghts?: President George W.

I'm sorry, but you can't only rely on the far right wing media for your news and alleged facts.. President Bush's Gunwalking operaion code name "Wide Receiver" let 450 guns travel over the Mexican border and there was NO coordinated Mexican Police joint investigation following these guns around. The weapons were LOST over the border and never recovered.. Who knows how many Mexicans were killed by those 450 weapons let over the border under Bush's watch. There were no prosecutions under Bush's watch. Attorney General Holder ended all " GUNWALKING " operations and made prosecutions under both programs. Now a politically motivated " Witch Hunt " is after President Obama and A.G. Holder conveniently just before the elections. President Bush started letting guns walk into Mexico and President Obama and Attorney General Holder ended it , but now Bush gets a free pass and the Republicans want President Obama and his Attorney General to take the fall ! This right wing hatred of President Obama is getting so old . Response to Re: AARP anti-gun rghts?: Operation "Wide Receiver" was nothing like "Fast and Furious".

I'm sorry I don't get my news from MSNBC and other ultra left sources.

No now you get your news from PJTV, which is also a Republican Right Wing agency supported by the Tea Party and owned by Roger Simon , who spoke at the 2008 Republican Convention. Gee I wonder why they are saying something negative about President Obama's Office ??? Your sources are so bias, its comical my friend ! I know its hard to find unbias sources because the Republicans have enough money to buy most airwaves, but at least try to see both sides of the issues. Believe it or not there are alot of Democratic Patriotic Americans My Friend, but to see them you have to look on both sides of the road. Our great nation wont progress without a true Democracy where all peoples word is heard. We cant survive on the far left or far right and be fair to all citizens. I dont think Money should be speech and Big Money is the corruption of our democracy. We must be a civil society. Good luck My Republican Neighbor ! n Response to Re: AARP anti-gun rghts?: I'm sorry I don't get my news from MSNBC and other ultra left sources.

In Response to Re: AARP anti-gun rghts?: In Response to AARP anti-gun rghts? : Many folks are getting their children guns and starting them early on to hunt for animals that do them no harm and they learn they need to be cold-blooded," with "killer instincts," attuned to "animal spirits". So when some have turned a gun on other children or their own parents.....who they really hate at that moment in time ......it seems natural. . I have a family and many friends who lived a life-time without owning a gun.....because none of us were paranoid or felt the need to feel powerful in owning a weapon. Posted by JANMB You know that if a child wants to do someone harm he does not have to have a gun. And by the way, your response to hunting, Where does the Beef you eat come from and how do you think they kill it?? you anti gunners have such a misguided since of why more and more people have and keep and carry weapons. I would bet that none of you have ever been threatened or lost someone to a brake in or robbery or rape. How do you think the police protect us and while I am talking of the police it is quite common that the POLICE do not have a duty to protect your life anymore? Do you know how long it takes the police to get to your home in case of a threat? This day and age it’s almost like any common thing in the house. And one other thing, Do you know that as a person with a CCW I have No Felony Convictions, (Lifetime) Have never been Convicted of any drug offences Have No Mental defects or disabilities Have passed a Criminal History Background Check and I was an MP in the Military who did have a duty to protect you, and am retired from the Dept. of Corrections where I had a duty to protect you. Do you still feel that I shouldn't have a gun? I will tell you what I don't have, is an insurance company that is Anti-Gun! |
