A reporter asked a question meant to set up the extremely partisan press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, to smear the NRA.
“The NRA is opening its convention in Houston tomorrow, three days after the massacre in Uvalde,” the reporter said. “Former President Trump, Texas Governor Abbott, and others are set to speak there. Does the White House think it’s appropriate for that convention to move forward? Should it be postponed, canceled, given the events of the last few days?”
Jean-Pierre then accused the gun owners and the NRA of standing in the way of gun control that she saves will save lives. Jean-Pierre called them shameful.
Her response to the pre-arranged question, in part, was to make them responsible for anyone connected to a gun. “So, it’s not about the convention. What is inappropriate is that the leadership of the NRA has proven time and time again that they are contributing to the problem of gun violence, not trying to solve it. They represent the interests of the gun industry, the gun manufacturers who are marketing weapons of war to young adults. They don’t represent gun owners who know that we need to take action. And it’s shameful that the NRA and their allies have stood in the way of every attempt to advance measures that we all know will save lives from gun violence.”
Her lying and smears are what are shameful. The NRA has nothing to do with mass shootings. The NRA gives instructions on gun safety and stands up for the 2nd Amendment.
Guns, hammers, knives, cars, and all the other weapons used to harm our fellow human beings don’t commit crimes. It’s not the weapon, it’s the fool using it to harm others. And, by the way, AR-15s are not weapons of war. They’re rifles. Biden knows that and said it himself once.

DISGRACEFULLY TREATING POLITICAL OPPONENTS LIKE KILLERS
To a Democrat, political opponents are domestic terrorists. They’ve lost their minds.
Democrats have said some terrible things about innocent people after the slaughter of children and teachers in Uvalde. At the same time, they don’t care about the slaughter of children and innocent adults in their troubled cities. Twenty-eight people were shot in Chicago last weekend, four people were killed yesterday in New York City, and the list goes on.
Democrat politicians and media have blamed all of their opponents for the mass killings in Uvalde. They blame the police, Republicans, gun manufacturers, Gov. Abbott, and the NRA.
The NRA is just an advocacy group – lobbyists. They don’t sell guns or promote them. The Left wants to obliterate anyone who advocates for anything they don’t like.
Biden claimed the gun lobby is profit. Meanwhile, the NRA declared bankruptcy last year. As Tucker said last night, the NRA spent only $2.2 million all of last year. Big Tech spent $70 million last year on lobbying Congress. Big Pharma spent $92 million lobbying Congress in the first quarter of 2021 alone.
I’m fed up hearing these leftists call legitimate gun owners terrorists and killers.

Guns aren’t the Problem. Liberals and Democrat Policies are the problem. The first sign that you are dealing with a Liberal is the Person’s inability to take responsibility for their actions. Like a little child, Liberals blame everything on someone else.
The Simple Truth is, if Liberals didn’t make schools a “No Gun Zone” and allowed responsible adults to carry guns on school grounds these shootings wouldn’t happen. I live in a Very Red Area of a Red State where most people are armed. Criminals go the the City to commit crime because we don’t put up with it here. Shoot at someone here and they shoot back. If the Criminal makes it to Jail, they stay in Jail. The State has the Death Penalty. Trespassers stand a good chance of being shot. The NRA promotes gun safety and proficiency. The NRA promotes Armed Teachers to protect our Children, why don’t Politicians?
When I was living overseas, a country I lived in had a problem with Terrorist attacking schools and killing teachers and students. The Government recruited ex-military to be “Resource Officers” and provided some serious anti-terrorism training. When the Terrorist started dying, they stopped attacking schools. Unfortunately, since Covid Lockdowns ended, there has been an uptick in attacks on schools and the “Resource Officers” are needed again. The bottom line is, it takes good people with guns to stop bad people who will always find weapons to kill the unarmed and innocent.
“It’s not the weapon, it’s the fool using it to harm others.”
Millions of unborn children have been murdered since the 1970s. Dims need to stop supporting the Holocaust and ban abortion instruments.
Overturn Roe v Wade!
Cars (accidents) are the leading cause of death among children, Do these numbs culls blame GM like they do the NRA?
There are two problems with all their assertions from Democrat hypocrisy on guns, gun control, and defunding the police.
The first problem is that most of these individuals have been in positions of power for long periods of time, but did nothing to implement any form of ‘gun control.
Obama was in politics for 25 years, and he was president for eight years. Biden has been in politics for more than 50 years — he was a senator for 36 years, vice president for eight years, and has been president since January 2021. Nancy Pelosi has been in the U.S. House of Representatives for 33 years while Beto O’Rourke was in the House for three terms. Hillary Clinton was a senator for two terms and served for four years as Obama’s secretary of state. She also spent eight years as President Clinton’s first lady and served various political functions as a lawyer in both the Arkansas statehouse and in Washington for decades before that.
When Obama presided over any catastrophe as president, he never ever took responsibility. Instead, he would address the issue like a bystander commentator. He would also project emotions to convey compassion, knowing that most people conflate a display of ‘compassion’ and empty words with actions or even an apology. Finally, Obama would resort to blaming everyone but himself. Never for a moment was there ever a personal apology from him.
Obama knew that the media was always around to cheerlead and elevate him.
Every Democrat who has issued statements imploring the need to ‘stand up to the gun lobby’ are under the protection of armed guards. Their homes and offices are surrounded by armed bodyguards. Whenever they make public appearances, they are surrounded by armed bodyguards. They take their own security very seriously and guns are a large part of it.
Instead of merely pontificating about gun control and the need to seize guns, Obama could begin asking all his bodyguards to give up their arms. Once this is accomplished, he could ask Biden, Pelosi, O’Rourke, and Hillary Clinton to follow him.
Washington D.C. can also follow this example. If they want to repeal the Second Amendment, how about pilot-testing that change in Washington D.C. first? How about a total ban on arms in Washington D.C.? Will the powerful in Washington agree to that?
We all know the answer to that.
For the Democrats, it has always been one rule for the ‘ruling class’ and another for the public.
The Democrats have additionally been demanding the defunding of the police and calling for the removal of police in schools. “Community, not cops!” “Dignity in schools!” they bray. These same Democrats demanded that Washington D.C. be guarded by armed law enforcement following the January 6 protest. They also have law enforcement guarding their personal properties. The defunding of police that the Democrats demand only applies to those who live in poor neighborhoods and must go to public schools.
A firearm is perhaps the only way regular citizens can defend themselves against unruly elements and actual killers. The second hope is that the police patrolling in the vicinity will be of assistance.
If the Democrats have their way, citizens will be left with no means of protection while the crime wave makes their neighborhoods more unsafe every day. The only groups of people who can afford the luxury of firearms will be criminals and the security teams of Democrat politicians and their affluent donors.
The Democrats are sending a message to everybody that only their lives matter.
lets create the perfect delusional, socialist, new world order, fascist/commie, democrat utopia – free food, healthcare & housing with the cherry on top – you do not have to work for it because a job is optional… of course we need adequate law enforcement with video cameras for your safety everywhere… yes or no question – would this be a safe environment & the answer is NO – it’s called jail, the most violent, drug infested rape-a-thon hellhole there is so if your a hug-a-thug ditz, go screw yourself if you think i’m trusting a bunch of douche-bags who proposed disarmament with plans to replace police officers with social workers, mental health advocates and homeless charities…
[in greta voice] “how dare you” question the ministry of truth the “delusional, socialist, new world order, fascist/commie, utopiast democrat – rino – uniparty propaganda, lies, & doublespeak?… all i see nonstop is the gaslighting by the media, it’s what banana republics do… in the book “1984” the fascist/commie democrat – rino – uniparty playbook big brother is now supplanted by the big brother[s] ministry of truth – giggle, fascistbook, shitter, boobtube, wokeipedia, snoopys & the msm etc…
Consider that the Massacre at Uvalde was of Children and two Woman. The attacker could have used a machete with equal carnage in pretty much the same amount of time. A chef’s knife might have taken an additional minute. The gun, which is glorified in Hollywood Movies and Video Games has become the weapon of choice. What I fear is if we did attempt to take away all guns, the weapon of choice would be knife or worse, a bomb. But having a military background, I unfortunately know of far more efficient and terrible methods to kill people and those weapons only require a trip to Walmart. Luckily the murders are impulsive and not diabolical planners. Heaven help us if one is a true genius on a mission of mass muder. A person like that could kill thousands.
The problem is not weapons, it’s the breakdown of Society which creates these monsters as we have increasingly adopted a Godless Globalist Communist Democrat Liberal Loser Ideology. Most Liberals are delusional, the rest are just stupid. A far bigger problem than guns is Democrats. Democrats hate guns because they know guns may end up being the answer to the problem! Less gun control and more training would lead to more freedom and less crime. I start training my children to respect guns before they are ten. As teenagers they could be as deadly as any infantry solder and are even better disciplined. Military style reform schools could save a lot of these troubled kids. We need to consider that Dead Criminals don’t become Repeat Offenders. Once someone becomes a Psychopath, they are all too often beyond help.
Planned Parenthood is responsible for more human deaths, has more lobbying $$, gets more taxpayer $$ and is has more political power than the NRA.
