How to win friends and influence people…
So who was the illiterate buffoon that wrote that FB posting? I mean Jeez, can't they even spell "Puh-leeze" correctly?
I'm trying to imagine a more effective way to alienate Coloradans than to say "I hope your Broncos get their asses kicked" right before they win the AFC championship.
Really, fuck these worthless gun nuts. Say that shit in the south stands sometime.
Except one of these nitwits would likely come into the south stands packing and if anyone said something they'd probably bust a cap on them.If you can get killed by a retired cop for texting in a theater there's no telling what might happen with an idiot packing a firearm in the emotion-drenched environment of the South Stands.
I guess it figures our friend N3bbish wouldn't be around to comment on this travesty. Almost all the efforts of groups like this show an absence of common sense and the capacity for embarrassment. Lacking such you know they'll never quit but are gluttons for punishment which they'll try to turn into them being oppressed by serious attacks on their right to kill someone. I check(online) through Denver's lone remaining daily from time to time and did not see any mention of this event. I particularly liked the guy in the gorilla mask.
I agree! How about them Broncos. Whether your politics are red or blue in this state, you have to bleed oarnge and blue!
hmmmm . . . I would have expected at least a couple of three-cornered hats !!!
(I guess that conspiracy to keep New England fans out of Mile High stadium — and, you all do know, that is its name — failed about as miserably as this rally!?!)
. . . . Or maybe, just maybe, since no one's 2nd amendement rights have been infringed or violated in Colorado, there weren't more than a handful of gun displayers who had any reason to waste any part of a marvelously sunny Colorado January Sunday afternoon ??!!??
But, for sure, these rally organizers are unquestionbly top-notch professionals . . .
I didn't know you could be a professional moron…
I learn something every day.
Two words, Duke. Ray Scott.
oh…right.
All Republicans are inherently professional morons, in my opinion. Not just Ray Scott. All of them.
The Second Ammendment does not gaurantee a civilian the right to bear arms. It does not forbid it either. It addresses militias. If you remember history class. The British were invading around that time and people thought they should have guns to shoot at British Soldiers. They also used them for hunting and your musket or pistol fired a ball bearing. If you were quick you could load and fire one ball bearing in 15 to 20 secconds. There was now 30 round magazine or armor piercing rounds! Besides if you cannot hit what you are aiming at with 15 rounds you shouldn't own a gun! Go to the range, borrow a gun and learn how to aim. Then buy a gun.
Actually, Mark, I'm pretty sure the Second Amendment does precisely that….guaranteeing civilians the right to bear arms. I have no problem with that. I'll laugh at the gun-suckers as much as the next guy, but their ridiculous, dangerous, and often lethal antics aren't stemming from a made-up belief. It is, after all.. a fact.
Under the scenario, the only gun allowed under 2A would be muskets and hand-loaded guns. I approve.
Semi-auto and automatic pistols/rifles/machine guns – I don't approve.
It's past to redefine 2A to make it even more stricter on who can own guns. By that, I mean only qualified law enforcement. Not every moron can understand how to handle guns properly.
This is Victor Head, Garcia, Nick Andrasik – the Basic Freedom Defense Fund and Pueblo Freedom and Rights people, without Jennifer Kerns from Americans for Prosperity doing the slick media work.
Gun Rights Across America / Protect the 2nd Amendment appears to be these local guys forming a chapter of a (wannabe) national organization that aimed to have a rally on Jan 19 in all 50 states. They would like to be competitive with Dudley Brown's 9 million national money behemoth, National Association for Gun Rights. There's lots of money in "gun rights" organizations – fearful, paranoid members apparently spend to feel "safe". It's a lucrative fundraising/ business model.
That's why our local gunzos tried to do a rally on Jan 19. So far, their efforts in media contact and competing with Brown's groups for legislative influence seem to be backfiring.
Petty squabbling, fingerpointing and poor event planning are all signs of a well oiled political machine. These folks are top shelf.
Can anyone see what that post-it-note on the back of the Tancredo supporter says?
I think it says "<— I'm with Stupid"
LOL!
Kick me?
Miracles do happen. Is it possible that somehow, someway, the sleeping dem giant has awaken and there is a mole in that organization that planned this whole thing for kickoff time…..
Call me a dreamer.
I am calling mole on the rumpled looking guy with the skullet and the flannel.
Skullet. I like it.
if deep infiltration into radical groups is what you want BC, the skullet is the way to go : )
Did you ever wonder how much these so called "patriots" cared about any other constitutional amendments? Read the comments about the recent botched execution in Ohio to get a sense of people's respect for the eighth. It's just blood-lust.
That just gave me an idea for a test for potential gun owners. They must recite ALL 27 amendments to the constitution before legally owning a starter pistol.
Maybe it would have helped if anyone's second amendment rights actually had been violated.
These gun people who attended the gun stroking fest should be identified as clearly mentally ill and needs to be sent to the mental institution, immediately.
The GRAA can go bite me.
Where are our rightie posters? Too embarrassed to comment?
Only a bunch of stinking Communists would rally at the Capitol during a Broncos game and root that the Broncos get their asses kicked. Send these pinko creeps to Guantanamo and tell them to pick up the soap!
100+
Amen, amen, amen and more amen, brother.
They're such a detriment to their own cause, *I* want to send them money, just so they keep it up.
Is this the same dingbat i know at a certain website? Just checking. 🙂
There must be a connection between voting for "instate tuition for illegals" and gun rights. However, I'm not sure I'm making the link.
All they see is a black guy who they think wants to take away their guns, and Mexicans they think are taking away all our tax money and jobs. It dosen't matter if its true or not; it justifies their hatred. Just pure irrational racism.
Would love to have these people answer one question: the only people who lost their gun "rights" were people convicted of domestic violence or have a diagnosis of serious mental illness. So by saying YOU lost your rights, are you claiming to fit into one of those two populations?
Obama's been in office now for 6 years. How many G-men have shown up at your door to a) take your guns or b) stop you from going to church?
Seriously, people! Quit letting these people play on your emotions!
I had the occasion to ask Mesa County sheriff Stan Hilkey how many gun confiscations he knew of….he, of course, said "none" and distanced himself from the claim.
Good questions to ask. Keep in mind that mentally ill people, people with domestic violence convictions or are under a DV restraining order (Thanks, Evie Hudak!) are not necessarily losing their existing guns….that is, nobody's coming to confiscate them. ( Except under rather rare circumstances: the individual is making a present credible threat to harm him/her self or others, has means to do it, and has been judged mentally ill by a court). Even under those rare circumstances, a mentally ill person can still get their guns or weapons back, usually within months.
So it's only when people fitting these criteria attempt to buy a gun, and have to go through the background check, that they are denied.
As much as the right wing likes to distract from serious debate about guns by asking, "What about mental health?" we should remember that they always deny funding to mental health clinics and programs. Stout St Clinic in Denver used to have a psychiatrist available on a walk-in basis; now they don't. Budget cuts.
20 million has been allocated by the legislature last year (HB 1396), and a panel of experts is reviewing involuntary commitment laws. I doubt if the people who like to yell, "Freedom!" are truly going to be in favor of any involuntary commitment laws, or gun seizures from a mentally ill person who is threatening his/her community.
Study Finds People with Guns More At-Risk for Suicide and Homicide
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/01/20/study-finds-people-with-guns-more-at-risk-for-suicide-and-homicide.html
http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1814426
When you've got a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
The key issue with guns is that when they are readily at hand, they enable the tragic consequences of impulsive behavior:
Gunzos claim that someone suicidal (or homicidal) would simply choose another weapon. Ok, show me how preventing untold thousands of impusive violent gun deaths is a bad thing if they had to, you know, think and plan for more than a few minutes about their options?
I'm sure many impulsive acts could be prevented but only by actually taking away our right to privately own and keep guns and that's not going to happen. None of the legislation that has recently passed does that, no matter what the gun nuts, say so it pretty much doesn't matter in practical terms whether lack of access to guns increases impulsive suicides and homicides or not. At least it only matters in making personal decisions about whether to have guns around. We have a couple of guns (unloaded) around and it's not a problem.
Certainly we should beef up penalties for leaving loaded guns where little kids can get hold of them and blow each other away by accident. Parents should know that they will not only have to live with the loss and guilt if they let that happen but that they''ll be going away for a very long time.
I'm not a gun-grabber advocate. But I'd support just about any measure that slows down or prevents the sale of weapons that in all likelihood won't be used in self-defense, but have a significant probability of being misused, either in a crime, accidentally or in the heat of passion.
This isn't the Wild West, and a good home alarm system is cheaper and a heck of a lot safer than a gun for home defense for anyone other than someone in a high risk (drug dealer, law enforcement, etc.) profession.
Also, being incredibly stupid when it comes to guns.

That's a good read. I didn't realize suicides outnumber homicides.
Thank you Jesus! No gun manufacturer's profits or sleep were lost over these events today:

Lead story in tomorrow's Denver Pest (sic):
A man fatally shot his stepmother and seriously wounded his father before killing himself late Monday during a family dispute at a home in Indian Hills, authorities and relatives said.
Here's the recipe from Republican land.: Mix one domestic quarrel, one explosive temper, and a firearm in the house, stir untl mixture comes to a rolling boil and serve on EMT's gurney.
It's not really fair, much as I'd like to, to blame this incident on gun nuts as there is really nothing in recently passed or proposed legislation that could have prevented this if the gun used was obtained legally. If mental health issues were involved, that really isn't effectively addressed in our gun safety legislation. There is a lot of resistance on patient privacy grounds, for instance, to putting people on lists or confiscating legally obtained firearms because a person has sought or is undergoing treatment.
Knee jerk blaming of every instance of gun violence on the other side isn't going to get us anywhere. It just makes us look as irrational as the gun nuts to those persuadables in the middle.
Oh look, another school shooting. This time, in Oklahoma.
It's gone insane.
I support reasonable gun control but I suggest temporing the knee jerk response
