Michigan Anti Gun Politicians Hold Town Meeting at a Gun Range

I can't think of a worse way for them to have attempted this. Lying to get in to the building, screaming about how evil the pro gun side is, and then whining about fearing for their own safety? I've been in politics here on the county level since, well, my grandmother said since I was born. I can't imagine a worse way to have handled this. If you want to be respected, you need to extend the same consideration.

The phrase that sets my hair on end is when they're going to have a conversation. Usually starts out something like "So, do you inbred evil gun owners still beat your wives?"
 
Why didn't the club officers shut this farce down once they figured out what the agenda was? It's their club and they have the right to end any activity they wish.
 
3:00 into that video is all you need to see, we already know that is their intent.

Not to mention fact that they put in effort to deceive the venue as to their intentions.

I would say these people are nuttier than squirrel turds but if they are one thing, it’s calculating...

If they really wanted to stop gun violence or even accidental deaths they would mandate gun safety be taught in grade school or criminals that perpetrated crimes with guns stay locked up but the opposite in both cases are true...
 
Maybe some day we will be able to keep liars from becoming elected officials. Somehow I don't see this happening in our lifetimes though. Just shows the lengths a desperate person/s will go to when they think they know what is better for us. Why wouldn't the gun owners feel threatened and become argumentative especially when they were lied to before the start of said "event".
 
That was ill-advised, to say the least. Rolling in a sucker punch and hidden agenda is incredibly bad optics, and a fool should have been able to forsee the clown show that would most certainly (and did) ensue. Of course there was no violence, and the argument about people being concerned about their own safety doesn't hold water either- if they were truly concerned, why would they go to a place exclusively frequented by guns and the people who own them? I would have preferred to not see such a display by the gun owners/club members present, and for the visitors to be told by any members present from the club's governing body in a calm but firm manner that they were no longer welcome on the property and why, and then ask them to leave immediately, with any monies paid by the visitors for use of the facility to be refunded in full no later than 10 am the next morning.

I would not be so bold as to think the antigunners want our respect. What they want is our obedience. The antigunners don't just hate our guns. They hate us. They think we're a bunch of backwards, inbred rubes who need to learn to recognize & respect our betters.

I couldn't agree more. There's a big gulf between "Congresswoman was concerned about her safety" and "someone threatened her."

One of the interesting things about the video was the exchange between reporters:
Her: Was Congresswoman Stevens being threatened?
Him: She was ushered out.... I talked to her security .... and they were concerned for her safety.

Me: No kidding. Security guys were concerned for the Congresswoman's safety? Aren't they paid to be concerned for her safety? That's entirely different from whether she was being threatened. Notice that the reporter on the scene kind of buries "there was no violence" in the mini-avalanche of words he lets loose in non-response to the woman's question about whether Stevens was being threatened.

I read the article but can't find the video...?

Edit -

I viewed the video on my phone.
So the screaming liberal booked the event in a deceitful manner , shrieked "THE NRA HAS GOT TO GO !!!" in the faces of the host club members , then bows out with security , citing security concerns.

Another dog and pony show , scripted and played out as per plan.

Yep, my point exactly, and why they are unable to be honest brokers in a "negotiation."
 
The other response would have been for no one to show at the meeting. or for them to ask the anti gun people to leave.
I would have walked out after a couple of minutes of hearing here talk . I would not waste my time on anti gun people like that.

I think that the organizer was hoping for violence (and headlines).
If she tries something like this again, she'll probably bring in some Antifa types to provide both of the desired results, since most gun owners are too law-abiding to oblige... .

I agree. Also on the other end of the spectrum, if she managed to get some film clips of gun owners calmly talking to her it would have provided a tool to proliferate a Beto-esque lie that even gun owners are on board with gun control. Careful editing could have given a very wrong perception. Propaganda fuel...………..

Honestly, the actual end result couldn't have gone much better in my mind. We have a loud mouthed NRA hater and gun grabber yelling in front of a crowd, mixed with some visibly upset but peaceful gun owners standing in opposition and talking calmly to the camera.

I wish the Trump signs and political strutting wasn't a thing because it's about our rights, but our rights are now so entwined with politics it seems inescapable.
