No it's not -- Murdoch is a globalist (Think UN global gun ban) and FOX is the "controlled" opposition -- emphasis on "controlled" --just as in "gun control", FWIW.

Who, LaPierre. Yeah, it's ironic isn't it? The best contribution is simply ending gun free zones, shooters wont know if there's some citizen there with a CCW.
I disagree. The singular concern the left will focus on in promoting an AWB IS the school shooting. He presented a solution that addresses that concern more effectively than any ban would. He also pledged the NRA will fund the necessary training. There will be plenty of time in the future debates to defend 2A rights. But in the immediate term there is a solution on the table. Hopefully the house will propose a bill to adopt his recommendations ASAP. I think this is a brilliant move and puts the onus on the left to accept or reject. If they reject increased school safety it puts a spotlight on their real agenda which is disarming the populace not securing our schools.
Did anyone catch the part after the second moonbat with the white sign was removed. A reporter tried to get a response from Wayne, after being ignored he commented "just stick to the script". The media bias is just amazing. Same kind of crap when Ron Paul was running.
And of course, there's only ever obnoxious protestors at conservative events. The right has too much class to try and disrupt wacko leftist events, but the loving left must always try to destroy a dialogue. There arguments are too weak so they must shout over you.
A forceful response to the protesters would've been exactly what the media wanted.
I am beyond pissed about the video game and media bashing. Wayne was talking about consumption of 1A protected media exactly the same way the anti-gunners talk about gun ownership. Other than that, it was the best I thought I could expect. I would've come down more on the armed citizen side than more police, but that's minor. I'm a life member, and I'm seriously torn about whether to resign or not. I'm that angry. Wayne is a bumbling old fool. Time for Cincinnati v2.
It's an interesting theory he presented. Violence is far more prevalent now in all forms of media, often grotesque. If people are asking why society is falling apart at the seams lately, it should be examined. He never called for laws curtailing the 1st amd., he simply stated that the media doesn't have the class or morality to not spew violent brainless shoot 'em ups upon the masses. Perhaps they should have some restraint and inspection of impact. It's a reflection on culture.
Especially in video games, which often mimic the wars we are in. No one ever talks about that violence though.
People make it sound like no one was ever killed or massacres never took place before we had tv. GMAFB.
My wife is a teacher and although she doesn't belong to the NEA, she still gets their shit (and I mean that in every sense of the word)...I am amazed and apalled the amount of misinformation that their website, newsletters and magazines propagate...it's really scary. If anyone from the NEA tells you they are for the kids, they are baldfaced lying to you...they are more concerned with their own welfare, pay raises, retirement benefits, etc, etc, etc....
Proof Positive that the gov has no interest in solving problems but rather create committees and argue ad nauseam. In 20 minutes the NRA presented a reasonable and achievable path forward. Wasn't so hard was that? This is how things get done in America, private enterprise is the answer, not more laws and government.
A quote from writer Jen Engel - " Liberty and democracy are not the same things.
Democracy means the majority decides what rules govern us. Liberty is the idea that we all have certain rights that cannot be taken away, not even by a majority. These are the “inalienable rights” of the Declaration of Independence, and when we give them up voluntarily, for whatever reason no matter how altruistic, what we find is all we have done is given more rights to the government that were intended for us.
Doing so makes us less safe, not more."

The media has come a long ways with technology and depicts many acts of violence, gun violence. That said, I love me some COD and I don't want green blood like they have to show in Germany. With all the drugs floating around, maybe some people can't handle videogames, perhaps a tiny minority are influenced by games. And yes, if you make a game called kindergarten shooter, you're a scumbag. It's food for thought.
I wish he would have said, "why is a gun good when it is used to protect the President's daughters at their school, but bad when it is used to protect our children in their schools."
He was making some pisser points to, a well written speech, given the dude who wrote that a raise.
Thanks for the running commentary on the press conference. Sounds like Wayne and the NRA found their balls. Good for them and us. I re-upped w/GOA this morning and now I`m thinking of renewing w/the NRA.
The rights stated in the Declaration of Independence are "unalienable" which is different from "inalienable"...WAY different.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...
"Unalienable: incapable of being alienated, that is, sold and transferred." Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, page 1523: YOU CAN NOT SURRENDER, sell or transfer unalienable rights, they are a gift from the creator to the individual and can not under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. All individual's have unalienable rights.
Inalienable rights: Rights which are not capable of being surrendered or transferred without the consent of the one possessing such rights. Morrison v. State, Mo. App., 252 S.W.2d 97, 101. YOU CAN SURRENDER, sell or transfer inalienable rights if you consent either actually or constructively. Inalienable rights are not inherent in man and can be alienated by government. Persons have inalienable rights. Most state constitutions recognize only inalienable rights

This. Please. I was playing Doom II when I was 3 years old and that began my video game career. I've killed countless hookers, cops, gang members, and plain old citizens in the GTA series since III came out in the late 90s I think. It doesn't promote violence at all, if anything it just plays out taboo situations that you would never do in real life. Other than this, NRA did a fantastic job.

Well, I called the chairman of our school committee, and left message asking if we can "open a conversation" (or something like that) about discussing this new shield system for our schools. Next call is to the chief of police to do the same thing. Need to strike fast, even if just in generalities for now.

I personally think that this news conference did nothing. The dems and antis are still going to push their agenda for a new AWB, and will most likely get it.
I thought Wayne had a lot of good things to say, and agreed with about 99% of it. I hope it changes something, but I doubt it will.
