There is a very interesting discussion on the 2nd Amendment going on right now on the Glenn Beck program. If you haven't tuned in, it will be repeated over the weekend, at least on Directv.
I'll listen as it come on later, but be warned, there are plenty of members here who will probably take this topic off into the vitriolic weeds.
Glenn Beck only became "pro gun" in the last year or two. He's putting on an act for the fox "news" crowd. He had no guns until recently if I recall correctly.
So beck is having a "discussion." What is there to discuss? The 2nd amendment says what it says and the antis hate it. Having a discussion only gives air time to the liars. Is beck specifically pushing the TRUTH in these vaunted discussions or is he letting the antis get a free pulpit (in the interest of equal time of course)?So what. I have only owned and AR for about 3 months. Does that mean I was against black rifles before that? I really don't want to get into a discussion about Glenn Beck. I just wanted to point out the discussion about the 2nd Amendment. Anytime there is positive, at least in my interpretation of it, talk about 2A it's a good thing.

Meaning what? How much talk time did the liars get? Did the same old sound bytes get repeated or did it move the truth farther along?The whole discussion relating to the 2nd Amendment was positive.
Well if bill clinton or giuliani started talking the pro gun talk, would you just ignore the hypocrisy and duplicity of the messenger?

I agree, I became a Beck fan way before he was on TV, as I think he was broadcasting out of Tampa. Ive never witnessed him throwing off on 2A.
No, he's always been pro gun ... he's always been a strict constructionist.
I agree but I just don't trust ENTERTAINMENT personalities.I don't believe anyone is beyond redemption.
No, I won't be watching it because I don't waste gun/ammo money by giving it to cable/satellite companies because they mostly broadcast anti gun crap in a variety of flavors (among other trash).84B20 said:Please, just watch the program. There was only one semi negative comment and that was debunked buy Judge Napolitano.

I'm glad Judge Napolitano debunked the lie, but my main view is that Beck is doing this for ratings. I have a feeling that we won't hear any more pro second amendment stuff from Beck for a while after this is over.
That was quite rude. I believe I have already added a good and correct perspective to this discussion, you just don't like hearing it.So you really have nothing worthwhile to add to this discussion, if I'm reading this correctly.
WRONG pal. I said I don't watch his show. I NEVER said I hadn't watched/heard Beck in the past. Your rudeness and desperation is showing by the way you misrepresent my words.You think Beck is doing it just for the ratings but you don't watch his show so you really have nothing to base your view/opinion on.
Oh and here comes the petty and desperate name calling since you cannot defeat my point of view. Typical.Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Starts with T and ends with ROLL...

Fine, think what you like. Support name calling. The low road you and your pal boba have taken will get your thread locked and you only have yourselves to blame. I stayed ON TOPIC, and I stayed on my point. I didn't call anyone here any name. Check the thread if you want to see WHO started the name calling.84B20 said:I definitely am!
That about sums up my feelings on the guy.Glenn Beck does not convince ANYONE to agree with him. He just panders to those who already do to boost his TV ratings.
He acts like a child with a temper tantrum- not someone I want arguing for my constitutional rights. It just makes it easier for those who sit somewhere in the middle or are uneducated about guns to write us off as extremists. I have seen this happen many times.
