Who is Alex Jones? Does anyone recognize this guy? Gun Rights [View all]

Here we are in the middle of one of the saddest days possible - 20 little children dead - and this is what he has out there:



He is just going on and on - "They are coming to take our guns!"

I am not an anti gun person. My family has always had guns. My father taught gun safety in Boy Scouts. He and my brother liked to target shoot.

But this stuff is way beyond crazy. This is so dangerous. These guys like Alex here and Rush and Beck just get all the wackos all worked up. Normal people watch this and just shake their heads and turn it off. But mentally ill people can really think all of this is real.

I am a firm supporter of the 1st Amendment - but should free speech be an excuse for this kind of garbage?
