Head Of Gun Organization: ‘TIME TO HUNT DEMOCRATS’

[Segami]

GUN WEASEL!



As the Senate prepares to take up a comprehensive gun violence prevention plan later this month, gun advocates have amped up their already inflammatory rhetoric against any additional gun regulations. Ahead of President Obama’s visit to Colorado on Wednesday to promote the measure, one local gun organization promised to give him and other Democrats a hostile welcome.
In an interview with NPR, former NRA lobbyist and founder of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Dudley Brown compared deer hunting season with election season, when gun owners would be free to “hunt Democrats”:

Brown complains universal background checks are just a step towards identifying gun owners so the government can seize their weapons, and he calls the 15-bullet limit on ammunition clips arbitrary. He’s promising political payback in next year’s election that could cost Colorado Democrats their majorities.

“I liken it to the proverbial hunting season,” Brown says. “We tell gun owners, there’s a time to hunt deer. And the next election is the time to hunt Democrats.”

The analogy between elections and hunting is a favorite among conservatives; former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was widely condemned for her website’s map placing crosshairs over vulnerable Democratic districts in 2010.


Brown left the NRA in the 1990s because he felt the NRA was “kissing up to politicians.” The NRA, at the time, blasted Rocky Mountain Gun Owners as an “extreme right gun group” and called Brown the “Al Sharpton of the gun movement” for his inflammatory approach. Since then, the NRA has been pulled much farther to the right and is much more aligned with the “extreme” beliefs of RMGO. Both the NRA and RMGO believe there is a UN conspiracy to take away guns. The NRA and Republican lawmakers have warned of “tyranny” and compared Obama to Hitler and Stalin.

61. You are correct...

I lost my head for a moment.

[fasttense]

75. I was just thinking that some of us Democrats own weapons and have used them in the military.

So, if he wants to take a chance and come after us, well he might get a surprise. Because we have actually had training on how to use them and we don't need 15 rounds to be effective.

our "Pro-Gun """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""Progressives""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" will soundly denounce this lunatic, because they do not, I repeat DO NOT share his views, nope, not at all.

6. Yeah, maybe it's time to get rid of the second amendment

I've fervently stood up for all rights guaranteed by the Constitution... until this point.

It's people like that, saying things like that, that set off people who are mentally unstable to shoot 'em up. I'm tired of people saying things that spur the crazies to action.

13. Democrats are vulnerable on this issue in certain states.

The politics of gun control are very different between urban and rural areas. Gun control is an effective wedge issue for the rw, as the shrill voices of extremists drown out the actual moderate positions taken by state democratic parties. Gun control advocates risk alienating long standing democrats with their nonsensical arguments based on emotion and devoid of any sense of history, law, or culture.

Appropriate gun laws for a democrat in Montana, are very different from what is appropriate for a democrat in NY. We need to maintain a tent big enough to accommodate both.

[jmg257]

15. "nonsensical arguments devoid of any sense of history"???

Can you even say that with straight face?

Here's some history for you...

How many gun deaths are in the US every year?

In 2011, the latest figure available from the Centers for Disease Control,

Accidental discharge 851
Suicide 19,766
Homicide 11,101
Undetermined Intent 222

Total: At least 31940 people died from gun injuries in 2011.

Also 258 people were killed during legal intervention, most of them due to guns.

Guns were involved, but were not the primary cause of death:
-in 2 fatal accidents.
-in 6 homicides.

Previous years:
2010 31,328 people
2009 31,177 people
2007 31,224 people
2004 29,569 people

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_gun_deaths_are_in_the_US_every_year

Homicides by Weapon Used, 2000-2008
Totals, 2000-2008 % of total

Handguns 65,581 51%
Rifles 3,791 3%
Shotguns 4,356 3%
Other firearm not specified or type unknown 820 1%
Firearms, type not stated 11,564 9%

Firearm subtotals 86,112 66%

Knives or cutting instruments 16,547 13%
Blunt Objects 5,782 4%
Personal Weapons 8,220 6%
Poison 106 0%
Explosives 43 0%
Fire 1,093 1%
Narcotics 408 0%
Drowning 150 0%
Strangulation 1,281 1%
Asphyxiation 948 1%
All other 9,051 7%
All other weapons subtotals 43,629 34%

Total, all types: 129,741 100%

http://sbcoalition.org/2011/04/gun-violence-and-the-census-sobering-statistics/


30,000 firearm deaths a year every year, and 66% of all homicides are by firearm.


So, please tell us again why "we" should think gun control doesn't make sense?

[jmg257]

17. Here's some more history, with no emotion attached (just cold hard statistics)...

8,775 Firearm Murders a Year in US, Equiv. of 290 in UK
Posted on 01/10/2013

Number of Murders, United States, 2010: 12,996
Number of Murders by Firearms, US, 2010: 8,775

Number of Murders, Britain, 2011*: 638
(*Since Britain’s population is 1/5 that of US, this is equivalent to 3,095 US murders)

Number of Murders by firearms, Britain, 2011*: 58(*equivalent to 290 US murders)

In the case of Britain, firearms murders are 30 times fewer than in the US per capita.

18. "The shrill voices of extremists" = NRA.

I'm not aware of any prominent liberals or gun control advocate that have views that could possibly be called "extremist". The measures they are advocating -- assault weapons ban, universal background checks, magazine capacity limits -- all poll over 50%, even in most red states (e.g. most Texans support the AWB).

As with many issues, the politicians are to the right of the people on gun control. If anything, the measures proposed by gun control advocates don't go far enough.

[Paul E Ester]

22. How do you bridge the rural and urban divide without giving up the rural vote to the RW.

My experience is living in San francisco and spending a lot of time in Nevada 4 hours away. The two states could not be more different when it comes to guns, gun rights and culture. If you want to lose Harry Reid go ahead and ban ugly rifles and high cap mags.

No one wants to address the problem that one size does not fit all on this issue. Until solutions are looked at from a realistic context of regional differences this issue will only divide the party and give the rw a wedge issue to tear us apart.

[DanTex]

24. So who are the "shrill extremists". Any examples?

And I don't mean some no-name blogger. Can you think of a single gun control advocate whose views can be logically called extreme? Everything they are calling for polls over 50%. The opposite of extreme. The only extremists here are people who oppose universal background checks.

You could make the same argument in favor of caving to Republicans on any number of issues. Yes, red state Democrats are more conservative than Blue state Dems. No kidding. Not just on guns, but across the board: gay marriage, Obamacare, taxes, etc.

Personally, I think Dems should stand of for progressive policies, particularly in cases where the polls are in their favor.

[jmg257]

14. These Rocky Mt. Gun Owners seem like a real circle jerk of

gunfreaks. Already a few of 'em tagged for threatening politicians.

They give a whole new meaning to the term '"law-abiding" gun owner'.


Atleast when their revolt starts, the President will know where to send the 1st drone.

[IrishAyes]

105. I'll bet

... that's one reason they're allowed to think they're getting away with their swagger. So our side can keep easier track of them.

Real piece of work.

21. My guess is he will join forces with Michael Bloomberg. nt

[graham4anything]

27. In what way are you comparing the NRA terror org. with the person wanting to stop terrorists?

[Eleanors38]

79. Both going after Democrats. nt

[graham4anything]

80. Democratic candidates have won 7 of 12 times so far

including having the Senator Angus King's vote when a 60th is needed, solely because of Mike.

BTW, Mike gave NYC a major gift in getting Jimmy Fallon to host the Tonight show IN NYC
for the first time in 40 years.
Thousands of union jobs to NYC that is 100% solely due to Mike Bloomberg extending the motion picture/tv tax to an older show.

[Eleanors38]

86. Blomie (never a Democrat) attacks Democrats. Settled. nt

[graham4anything]

26. Terrorists. Reclassify them as a terror org, freeze assets, and anyone that contributes ditto

And make them realize in short time, the private citizens guns and bullets shall be history.

all it will take is the retirement of ONE Scotus of the five to swing the court and reinterpret the 2nd.

[dairydog91]

32. It's always nice to see police state tactics so vigorously advocated.

No coyness at all, just straight-up "Let's lock up our political opponents, steal all their money, and punish anyone who even thinks of supporting them!" Wonderfully honest sentiment, though I personally think it sounds a lot better with a snappy uniform and a Prussian accent.

[graham4anything]

34. The days of the NRA blackmail are ending. Thank God for that. 60% of the public wants it.

The majority rules.

the NRA can no longer be dictator/blackmailer/and threat to life.

The same rightwing terrorism killed Dr. Tiller in the church to further their political point of view.
And many extremists protected the killer for weeks later.

Guns are WMD. Guns kill 35 a day, wound 100s, ruin the lives of millions and their day is ending.

Why does one more person have to die from a private citizen(like or not like Zimmerman) taking away people who tomorrow might cure cancer?

to paraphrase Paul Simon "mama gonna take your guns and bullets away", the quicker the better.

HOW MANY MORE MUST DIE from guns/bullets in the hands of private citizens?

and it's a people wellness movement. not state.

the state=NRA
the terrororistic authoritiarian=NRA
the bullies-the private citizens with firepower to kill those against them(aka the NRA is the bully).

[dairydog91]

36. Authoritarianism, justified with Word Soup and Paul Simon?

the terrororistic authoritiarian=NRA

They advocate legal possession of things. That is not terrorism by any definition of that term.


the state=NRA

The NRA is a state? The NRA is a government? The NRA is a nation-state?


It's still fun to watch you be a cheerleader for declaring political advocacy groups and their supporters to be "terrorists". Nope, nothing could possibly go wrong with declaring your political opponents to be Enemies of the State.

[graham4anything]

39. Sticks and Stones and Bullys and Guns and Bullets all kill, and the NRA is all of them

ONE
one vote change and guns/bullets are history, making every NRA soundbyte obsolete.
The NRA will be the Obsolete Man.

[dairydog91]

40. So, just declare them to be political enemies!

The idea that people will be locked up and their assets stolen if they advocate unpopular laws is genuinely disgusting, thoroughly incompatible with basic notions of free speech and liberal republicanism, and tends towards outright evil.

[curlyred]

71. It is not an unpopular law, and it is constitutional

Get a grip. Overwhelming support, upwards of 90%. Just because YOU and those NRA fascists don't like it doesn't make it unpopular.

[dairydog91]

87. Reading comprehension?

I was talking about how Graham4Authoritarianism was advocating locking up NRA members because they were advocating for unpopular things.

[baldguy]

68. +1000

They're no different than al Qaeda.

[dairydog91]

88. One crashes planes into buildings, one does political advocacy against gun control laws.

Gosh, I think I can see a difference between those two things! Must be my commie ACLU brain playing tricks on me.

[baldguy]

90. Both are happy to see Americans die to forward their political goals.

The only real difference is that one does it for religion, and the other for commerce.

[dairydog91]

91. Even if that was true, mere joy at seeing Americans die is not terrorism.

Actually carrying out physical acts is. Wayne Lapierre could have personally masturbated to images of the Newtown shooting and that would still not constitute "terrorism".

Al Qaeda plans and carries out violent acts for the purpose of coercing people through terror. The NRA is a political advocacy group which pushes for laws which it thinks are desirable, and does so through legal means. The first is engaged in terrorism, the second is not.

[baldguy]

92. Terrorism is simply trying to instill fear in a target population to forward political goals.

That's the definition law enforcement uses. And the NRA & the RW gun weirdos certainly fit that definition.

[dairydog91]

93. No, they don't.

1. systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve some goal
2. the act of terrorizing
3. the state of being terrorized

Advocating "X should be legal" meets none of those definitions. Thank goodness SCOTUS adopted First Amendment standards which get rid of a lot of this Red-Scare/sedition/incitement crap. Advocating for the legality/illegality of something is not terrorism, unless you adopt the wildly expansive notion that "Advocating anything that scares me is terrorism" angle. Which I don't. Democracy has always had its share of harsh rhetoric. Try evaluating whether or not someone is actually making a credible threat against a specific target, instead of howling "TERRAH" when someone uses a nasty metaphor.

[baldguy]

99. Re-read the OP. That's called "intimidation".

It meets **YOU OWN** definition.

[dairydog91]

101. Except SCOTUS would giggle that right out the courthouse door.

Using aggressive rhetoric, no matter how much it causes a case of the vapors, does not qualify as "intimidation" such that the speech would be unprotected. It is protected. Fully. If some histrionic prosecutor tried to bring charges for intimidation, his case would be laughed out of court. If you want to use such a broad definition of terrorism that it includes rough words, then I suppose that's your prerogative. Just don't be surprised when courts start throwing out all those "terroristic" speech cases.

[factsarenotfair]

28. This seems like stochastic terrorism to me.

Stochastic Terrorism: Triggering the shooters.
by G2geekFollow .
Stochastic terrorism is the use of mass communications to stir up random lone wolves to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.

This is what occurs when Bin Laden releases a video that stirs random extremists halfway around the globe to commit a bombing or shooting.

This is also the term for what Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, and others do. And this is what led directly and predictably to a number of cases of ideologically-motivated murder similar to the Tucson shootings.

[dairydog91]

30. A term that should make any supporter of free speech feel the urge to projectile vomit.

Current Free Speech doctrine protects lots of "incendiary" speech, and doesn't remove protection until the speech is aimed at inciting "imminent lawless action." That is a hard test to meet; the speaker pretty much has to be directing people to commit specific acts of violence in the near future. Vague, tribalistic notions that a incendiary speech is somehow "stirring up" shadowy members of an amorphously-defined group does not allow that speech to be punished. Good thing, too; people in this very thread are basically advocating a Team Blue version of an old Freeper Canard: "Anyone who denounces the war on Iraq is encouraging terrorists to keep fighting 'Murica! Lock them up for sedition!"

[factsarenotfair]

37. "Time to hunt..." seems to be inciting lawless action to me. n/t.

[dairydog91]

38. It's a pretty obvious metaphor for aggressively voting against anti-gun politicians.

"They used a scary metaphor" is not a good argument against First Amendment free speech protections. And yes, you can use scary metaphors, and they are Constitutionally protected. For that matter, even speculative thoughts about actual violent acts may be protected. There's a 60s/70s case protecting someone who said something like "If they draft me and hand me a rifle, the first motherfucker I want to see in my sights is LBJ."

[mac56]

47. You are a skillful advocate for your position.

Please proceed.

[Brigid]

53. It's a "pretty obvious metaphor" for inciting violence.

No need to look for sophisticated imagery where none is intended.

[dairydog91]

60. "Inciting violence" is a tough Constitutional standard. Much tougher than you seem to think.

Constitutionally, about the only thing that could be said to "incite imminent violence" is a command to commit a specified act of violence. This goes as far back as the 1960s, when a much more liberal SCOTUS threw out a case against some KKK members who'd given a speech about the need to engage in "revengeance" against African Americans. Amorphous hopes for unspecified future violence are protected Free speech, as are metaphors which use violent language.

Brown complains universal background checks are just a step towards identifying gun owners so the government can seize their weapons, and he calls the 15-bullet limit on ammunition clips arbitrary. He’s promising political payback in next year’s election that could cost Colorado Democrats their majorities.

[IrishAyes]

107. It's almost funny

Here I am, a single little old lady living alone in RedNeckLand, the first several years of my residency the frequent focus of threats of violence, and yet not one actual attack so far. Even the open threats have tapered off. Do I imagine for one minute it's because they're really sweet good ol' boys who'd never hurt a flea? Hell no - it's because they know I'll fight back and if anything happens to me, certain people they really ARE scared of will find out and punish them for it.

One particular fool even asked me why I moved here (for no good reason he could see). I grinned and said maybe I was sent here to keep an eye on people like him. Sometimes you have to turn their paranoia to good use against them. He hates me with a purple passion because I represent his worst fears in so many ways, but for the same reason he's afraid to actually hurt me. Otherwise after 7 years he would have.

He's that crazy, and he's not alone. I know which ones play weekend soldier in the woods. When the GOP took the House, some of those creeps loaded up in a truck and parked outside my house, hooting and hollering and waving their penile substitutes. I came out of the house grinning, waved and called a couple by name, and started taking pictures. They drove away pretty fast and never came back.

102. Then my gun owning Republican husband

111. Time to strip another nut case of every single gun he has
