And yet the statement is factual...ratings are up, parents are crying, and mass media is clearly excitedly taking every advantage
Mass murder is news. We are in real trouble the day it becomes so normal that it doesn't make national news anymore.
And yet the statement is factual...ratings are up, parents are crying, and mass media is clearly excitedly taking every advantage
In a completely prepared speech she said this: "Many in legacy media love mass shootings. You guys love it. Now, I'm not saying that you love the tragedy. But I am saying that you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold to you and many in the legacy media."
That does absolutely nothing to help the NRA brand and a lot to damage it. I don't think it is a coincidence that other companies started dropping their NRA affiliations after that completely stupid statement.
People have been accusing the media of this for decades, thus the old term:
“If it bleeds it leads.”

I just heard 50,000 people just joined the NRA over the weekend. If this is true, does it mean we're losing?Yes, the fact that each time there is terrorist attack on our soil involving AR-15 or similar weapon we loose more and more ground. Unless we can recruit more gun lovers from all parties and walks of life long-term we are basically doomed.
If it is true, and they are New Members, it would be good news.I just heard 50,000 people just joined the NRA over the weekend. If this is true, does it mean we're losing?
I'm Black and have been having these discussions for 40+ years.In a 1998 discussion Wayne LaPierre stated he believed Pres. Clinton accepted a certain level of violence to push his antigunners agenda, so this is nothing new.
Also not new is the antis will use everything they can against us even if we think the statement is reasonable.
As for Ms. Loesch's statement, every time there's a mass shooting, be it Mandalay Bay, or Parkland Florida, the media turn it to a circus.
Chicago Illinois is experiencing a veritable crime wave of gang murders, usually either black or Hispanic ..... the media barely touches on this.
Tell me how Dana Loesch is wrong?
It will get the libs screeching, for sure, I guess .... but they don't like the truth to begin with.
Do we "play nice" and ignore or hide the truth .... is that what you want?
It sounds like it to me.
You are not going to prevail in our current environment by being a milquetoast.
A lot of them have fantasies of KILLING you and TAKING it.If they ban AR's-do they expect for you to take your AR & run it down to the police station?
Slightly off the beaten track, I went out to a restaurant that is very heavily patronized by seasonal people (snowbirds). It was cool, so I wore my leather jacket with the NRA Life Member patch and had 3 compliments on it and no snide remarks or 'thumbs down' type of comments. One fellow remarked that is was good to see an NRA member "flying the NRA colors".I just heard 50,000 people just joined the NRA over the weekend. If this is true, does it mean we're losing?

I don't know what it means, but is has been a long time since anyone has commented on this jacket at all.
Scratch an anti-gunner, find a Klansman... or a Nazi.
I once had one tell me that he "wasn't so sure that the Holocaust was such a BAD thing".Or a socialist/facist.

Let us not forget CNN sending producers and organizers to the school the morning after the shooting to get people coached up on their planned rallies and events. These aren't 'student protests'...they are 'CNN protests using students traumatized by a recent shooting'. One of the 'students' out front and featured in every demonstration actually graduated several years ago and....surprise....his mother works at CNN. They've just been salivating waiting for the next shooting to unleash their hit pieces against the NRA because they're still hurting from us defeating their chosen candidate last election and the several million NRA members did their part to make sure Mrs Clinton didn't get elected. It is all out WAR from CNN.
