Seems Like Many Are Pro-Gun

I am actually quite surprised myself with the MEDIA I have been able to actually watch the news other than getting upset and kicking my TV. I said it once and I will say it again, I think the anti's are going to take more of a beating on this than we will. Why?

1. They jumped on the anti-gun ban wagon immediately before the blood had been soaked up.
2. They do not have the media on their side.
 
Could it be that people are starting to notice that all those crazy CCW permit people aren't the kill-happy lunatics they feared?

Yep. Many more people are reasoning along the lines of, "Hey, I know Jim, and he's really into guns. He's a good guy - he helped me move a sofa last Summer and we had a couple beers after work last month. He'd have done something if he were there." or "Hey, Susan has a CCW - if she'd been there, I'd have wanted her to be able to defend herself."
 
I think many people are catching on that most of these mass shootings are happening in so-called "gun free zones." Unfortuantely the campus security is very sparse, and their training probably gets them to take cover while unarmed but innocent victims are shot.
I wonder what the reaction would be if we played "Devil's Advocate," and said: "it's a shame that all of those people were killed, but we can't trust liberal Professors and their left-wing students with guns."
I understand that some states prohibit guns on campus while others (such as Kentucky) leave this decision to the school's President.
IMO the optimum choice would be to allow faculty and staff to have a gun in their vehicle, and to carry concealed if they have a permit.

I lived in mass when high schools had rifle clubs.I still am member hopedalepr club.and member goal.
Its the culture thats changed but may be its changing back.
 
Aside from the "well we tried that, and it didn't work" effect, I think a good deal of the change is that it's a side effect of the widening of the media outlets.. blogs, forums, more TV and radio stations - there's not the groupthink stranglehold of opinion in the national outlets that there was ten or fifteen years ago.

This time around we still hear "ban everything" crowd, but the "what about self defense" crowd actually gets a chance to talk as well on an equal footing - and people are listening.

Add in the fact that in state after state CCW hasn't resulted in daily "road rage shootouts, blood in the streets, yadda yadda" ... I'm cautiously optimistic that we at least won't see anything bad pass Congress and the President, and might actually see something productive in the sane states.

I agree.

The internet just made the media (and news for the matter) subject to the free market.


I still dont trust most politicans........look at their record....not their lips moving.
 
Transcripts??

I'm going crazy here.

I see guys reporting that Hades is experiencing Global Cooling, I can't tune in, and there are no transcripts!

Aaarrrrgggghhhh!

. . . but we can't trust liberal Professors and their left-wing students with guns.

Hmmm. Interesting. However, once you put a gun in their hands, they move perceptibly away from the "pegged left" position.

So, guys, how 'bout it?

Can I get some transcripts?
 
I think alot of this maybe due to the fact Cho was found incompetent by a magistrate in 2005 thus should not been able to purchase a firearm . Now the question is going to be why wasn't he in the NCIC database as per state regulations ????!!! I feel a tsunami wave of CYA coming on from the progovernment (read BIG brother ) advocates of gun control .
