Meet the press

#1

Post by rwg3 »

This morning Wayne Lapierre was the guest of honor on Meet the Press. David Gregory went on the attack from minute one. If fear, ignorance and hysteria are ugly, then Gregory may be the least handsome man in the country. Mr Lapierre did a good job of trying to respond when real questions were asked and didn't rise to the bait on the nonsense. It was an interesting look into the mindset of the washington crowd.

From DC’s gun laws:

DC High Capacity Ammunition Magazines – D.C. Official Code 7-2506.01

(b) No person in the District shall possess, sell, or transfer any large capacity ammunition feeding device regardless of whether the device is attached to a firearm. For the purposes of this subsection, the term large capacity ammunition feeding device means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The term large capacity ammunition feeding device shall not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition..”

These are apparently the talking points coming down from the WH. The mag capacity discussion happened on SEVERAL shows, and the hosts were rather tenacious about driving the conversation that way.

Hey Andy. Did you mean scared or sacred cows?

They had a politician from SC on later in the show. He said he has an AR at home that he can reload very quickly so reducing magazine capacity doesnt solve anything. The mag waiver didnt like what he had to say. How can you hate something you dont know anything about with every bone in your body? Its like me hating motorcycles because they're dangerous & calling for a ban. The media is an unstoppable force and most people are eating up every word.

The Republican Senator was Lindsey Graham and I greatly appreciated what he said.
source: NBC transcript wrote: SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM:

Well, I own a AR-15. I've got it at my house. The question is, if you deny me the right to buy another one, have you made America safer? My belief is that this is a problem where you try to get mass murderers off the street before they act, by better mental health detection. You try to find ways to understand what makes them who they are.

But I don't suggest we ban every movie with a gun in it, and every video that's violent. And I don't suggest you take my right to buy an AR-15 away from me, because I don't think it will work. And I do believe better security in schools is a good place to start.

DAVID GREGORY:

Would you ban--

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM:

And I don't want to come on your program--

DAVID GREGORY:

--high capacity magazines, though, Senator?

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM:

--and say-- the whole goal is to interrupt the shooter, right? Changing a magazine, I can do that pretty quick. The best way to interrupt a shooter is to keep him out of the school. And if they get in the school, have somebody that can interrupt him through armed force. So I don't want to sit here and tell you that we're one law away from solving this problem.

We're not one law away from solving this problem. This problem runs deep and it runs wide. I live in South Carolina. Chuck lives in New York. I understand how he was brought up. Maybe he tries to understand how I was brought up. But people where I live, I've been Christmas shopping all weekend, have come up to me, "Please don't let the government take my guns away."

DAVID GREGORY:

All right.

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM:

And I'm going to stand against another assault ban, because it didn't work before, and it won't work in the future.

By all means, don't be shocked. Hypocrisy allows for many things.
