Although I have the utmost respect for people’s opinion, I find disturbing that an alleged pro-gun group would engage in political assassination and infighting when we are under serious attack and we need to present a cohesive front.
Apparently and as explained by whomever is running the FPC Twitter feed, they are pissed off that the NRA is unconditionally supporting the Gun Violence Restraining Orders.
I quoted them from the NRA itself and that support has some conditions attached:
But it seems that FPC either refused to read or they really are not enthused with the facts. I asked directly:
When you ignorance on how to play political warfare make you voluntarily side with the enemies sworn to get rid of us, you may have an issue with your moral compass.
Folks, if this is the attitude we are going to have, might as well pack it and really dump our guns in a body of water because we are to be fucked not by Bloomberg or Soros or the Bradys but by our moronic own.
This is the most beautiful and hope giving thing I’ve seen in weeks.
Cardi B is getting into tax policy now. She says she's paying 40% of her income in taxes and wants to know where the money is going…"when you donate to a kid in a foreign country, they give you updates on what they're doing with your donation….I want updates on my tax money." pic.twitter.com/E1hITGNqee
I have no idea who Cardi B is. According to the Internet, she’s a former stripper turned rapper.
I’m guessing after making it big last year her accountants told her she had to write a check to the IRS. Boy was she pissed about that.
Fantastic!
She’s said nothing different than any conservative has ever said. But for that same time conservatives were told that we’re rich white men who should pay our fair share.
Now that it’s a young, ethnic, female rapper saying this, maybe those God damn college kids will listen.
They take all thier other political cues from celebrities. Maybe if more Kardashian look alikes bitch about thier taxes, we’ll get actual transparency and spending cuts.
Nothing family or health related, just some stuff that needs to be fixed before it becomes an “Oh shit” scenario.
Before I go, I want to touch on J. Kb’s post about Junior Goebbels. I took some Tagamet and clicked on the video…I watched it and my final thought was “Wow, besides indoctrination, this kid has been whipped into a frenzy of hate. It might be just me, but he looks like the kind of high school dude who would steal dad’s FBI-Issued sidearm and go into a mass shooting rampage.”
Shouldn’t be getting him under the new Florida Laws to prevent another people with mental issues access to firearms?
These fucking Parkland kids are just fucking awful pieces of shit.
I’m not backing down from that.
Goebbels Jr. did an interview with The Outline where he just went off the rails.
“They are pathetic fuckers that want to keep killing our children. They could have blood from children splattered all over their faces an they wouldn’t take action.“
That is really his opinion on NRA members.
That is a fucking blood libel, there are no other words for it. He really is a Gobbelsesque human being.
Some five to six million law abiding citizens who committed no crimes don’t want to be the victims of politically driven collective punishment (what else do you call confiscating a rifle a person bought legally because someone else broke the law?) are child murderers. That is an insane statement. There is nothing rational in that, it is pure hatred.
He’s not the only one. March For Our Lives put out a video.
We see these lawmakers representing the NRA, and not their constituents. We see our “leaders” making excuses and refusing to act. On Saturday, they’ll see US. pic.twitter.com/7OGttnRSsz

I have never wanted to slap the attitude out of a high school kid any harder than I do now.
I have heard this line of attack from many sources on the left: gun makers/sellers love school shootings because money.
Let me be perfectly clear on this point, backed up by a lot of experience. Gun manufactures do no count on gun sales after a school shooting. These asshole talk about gun makers as though they are not people.
I know them. They are good people. They love their jobs. They love their spouses and children. They worry about school shootings and violence and everything else that everyone else worries about. They make guns for law abiding citizens (and the police and military) because they are gun people. It’s like a racing enthusiast working for Ford SVT or Toyota TRD.
This idea that people in the gun industry love school shootings because of sales is, again, a dehumanizing blood libel.
It is the idea that a group (traditionally Jews, but the Roma were subject to it as well) murder children for significant benefit (religious ceremony, profit, etc.).
Of course, these kids said other stupid shit, like politicians chose the NRA over their constituents or that assault rifles have nothing to do with the Second Amendment. All of that is worthy of challenge.
But it is this pervasive blood libel that has me raging.
Those people aren’t people, they are child murderers who love it when kids die so they can line their pockets.
I can’t see how that argument doesn’t end badly. Badly like in the type of thing that has filled history with mass graves.
These kids are playing with fire, egged on by the Democrats and media (not to be redundant).
That have crossed a line that should never be crossed, and they are awful for doing it.
I am a free marketeer. I believe that the free market generally provides the best solutions to problems. People will naturally spend their money in the ways that interest them, and in a competitive market, if a clientele is not being served, someone will come along and serve them.
Monopolies, oligopolies, and cartels are bad in a free market. They choke people out and limit competition. In the past, the US goverment has found it necessary to break up monopolies (Standard Oil, AT&T, Microsoft) for the benefit of the market.
Now we have entered a new age.
CEO’s are putting politics at the forefront of business.
When a handful of mega companies worth billions and trillions of dollars, who control significant shares of the market start to play politics, is it time for them to be regulated by the government?
How does a startup take on 75% of the internet to add a diversity of opinion, especially when that 75% is united in political ideology?
How does a bank that 10 years ago got a $15 Billion taxpayer bailout get to turn it’s position as the largest credit card backing bank in America against the American people?
Maybe “too big to fail” should be “too big to play politics.”
If the banks I have accounts with won’t let me buy guns with my money than I want the goverment to kick their asses.
Personally, I think Mark Zuckerberg is a super villain, and would love nothing more for the DOJ to pound his balls into mush and put him in a federal prison.
(The Facebook business model is: create a site that pretends to be a social media site, but instead tricks people into dumping all there personal information on it, which Facebook searches through and sells the data to god-knows-who then blasts you with targeted marketing ads.)
This is the potential backlash I see from all of this. Business plays the political game too hard and politicians decide they must be regulated. You can’t “do the job that Congress won’t do” and think that people will let you get away with it.
Playing politics isn’t just bad for those companies or customers, it is bad for the whole US economy.
