MSNBC Al Roker Reporting, on guns, tonight 11/23

[bridge]

Ok, not as bad as I thought. I didn't have to yell at the TV and my BP stayed pretty stable. I was expecting a lot of Brady campaign misinformation. It was mostly just ATF shoot'em up drivel.

Do I need to say that if some unimaginable legal measure made it absolutely impossible for criminals to buy firearms from FFLs, they would buy them from their local drug gang, which is quite able to import tons of drugs from abroad? In fact, they do this now to avoid sales tax.

That is exactly how it works in Great Britain. A while back, the authorities stopped a truckload of illegal weapons from entering the island. Unfortunately, they have missed an unknown number of other truckloads.

Mexico has a nearly total ban on civilian firearms ownership, and nothing like our constitutional protections related to search and seizure and due process. In spite of that, anyone with criminal intent and the right connections can buy anything they want there, up to .50 cal. machine guns and probably more powerful weapons that were stolen from the military. And the border doesn't seem to be too well guarded, does it?

Al Roker's "Guns in America" should have been titled " Criminals in America ". What does Roker limp wristing a 9mm and him firing an ATF full auto of some kind have to do with anything. Just an anti-gun version of "Cops" with Al Roker presiding. Criminals are criminals no matter what the representation.

I noticed all the programs prior to his show tonight on MSNBC were some kind of illegal gun violence on video. It is obviously an MSNBC promotion of a political anti-gun agenda.....again. Sad.

We obviously still have a lot of work to do.

[RiverRat]

Almost felt like he was trying to villanize the NRA in his parting commentary (shots).

[seamusTX]

We obviously still have a lot of work to do.

It will never end. It will be very difficult to make it anything better than an orderly retreat. The pressure to conform to international standards will never be less.

Did I fail to mention that exactly two countries on earth allow ordinary citizens to carry firearms?

Perhaps you can offer some guidance from your perspective.

I've said it before, but it can be distilled to basically this:

1) We're right.
2) Let's not be bullying donkeys about it.

Just a little priming of the pump. It will be a LONG four years. I suspect hollywood and the media are running on overtime preparing TV shows and movies to show all the evil things we must eliminate in order to have "change" in this country

[sarcasm]

We really do need to give the media and barry HUSSEIN obama a chance. They deserve the opportunity to do their jobs and fix the economy and all since anti-gun legislation is down the list of priorities.

[/sarcasm]

A gun law is an easy slam dunk victory for maobama.

I like when the ATF gave him bad info (grabbed a Barrett and called it a 50 cal Browning Machine Gun -it shots 50 BMG, it's not a 50 BMG) and shows him the wrong way to hold a handgun. It owuld have been funny if the handgun came back and popped him in the forehead for limpwristing.
