7/30/2019 Bullies- Obama Administration Summons NRA to White House

by BEN SHAPIRO (/COLUMNISTS/BEN-SHAPIRO) 8 Jan 2013, 12:17 PM PDT POST A COMMENT

Vice President Joe Biden, who is heading up the

President’s task force on gun control proposals,announced (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-

room/news/276077-biden-holding-meetings-

with-gun-groups-) Tuesday that he would be meeting this week

with the National Rifle Association, among other groups.

And his timing is just a bit suspect; the day before meeting with the NRA, Biden will be

meeting with gun control organizations and shooting victims. Presumably, his welcome for

the NRA will be somewhat less hearty.

The NRA, under heavy public pressure thanks to the White House’s bully tactics after the

Sandy Hook massacre, said it would visit the White House to “hear what they have to say.”

This is all a dog and pony show, of course. The Washington Post has already reported that

the administration wants a broad swath of gun legislation; Democratic Congresspeople

proposed eight separate gun bills on the first day of the term; and Mayor Thomas Menino

of Boston, who co-chairs Mayors Against Illegal Guns with nanny Mayor Michael

Bloomberg, said that Biden promised him action before the end of January.

So why is the NRA visiting? Because the White House has given them no other public

relations choice. President Obama has singled the group out for criticism. The White

House’s media lackeys, including David Gregory of NBC News, have grilled the NRA,

asking them to back off their organization’s stated mission.

It remains inexplicable why the White House and the media focus so heavily on the NRA

when it is members of Congress who must make votes. Obama’s team and the media have

targeted the NRA for fire over the NRA’s support for broad Second Amendment rights. But

while Joe Biden is also inviting members of the entertainment community to the White

House to talk about violence in media, he isn’t inviting the American Civil Liberties Union

to bash them over their broad interpretation of the First Amendment.

It’s obvious that the White House sees the NRA – not actually saving lives in places like

Sandy Hook – as their fundamental target. If they can use Sandy Hook to break a major

piece of the conservative infrastructure, they will.

announcement.

Then just rip the White House and this president to shreds. Tell them this will be fought on every front.

Lambasting politicians and actively working against them with mass mailings.

Theatening them with the 2014 elections.

Joe Biden?...NOW THAT IS FUNNY...

The jacka$$ has definitely proven to be the ideal mascot for the Demcrat party.


Maybe to commemorate the event, they can show up with some special targets made up, for example, having

certain people's pictures on them. Just as an honorary thing, not for actual use of course. I think the WH might

appreciate being presented with this type o f momento.

I agree. Require that the meeting be recorded by 2 media outlets. Each can choose one.

I think the NRA should send a draft agenda in advance. Here are some suggestions:

1. Brief introduction of NRA and its safety and instructional programs.

2. Providing membership forms to WH staff, and asking a hand-count for how many are already

members--have the Secret Service and Security to join in

3. Passing out free samples of tokens of appreciation members get, and receiving feedback on whether they

prefer the nifty tote bag or the famous NRA mini-buck knife.

And to finish, a real treat:

4. Live demonstration of proper field stripping of AR15 rifle, of course starting with a proper safety check.

Do not meet with them in private. Require that every meeting be taped. The NRA should take Constitutional

lawyers with them and treat every meeting as a legal meeting between opposing sides in a lawsuit - which is

exactly where we are headed -

The NRA should hold both the President and Vice President in contempt - and bring 50+ new bills to strengthen

the 2nd Amendment to counter the useful idiots efforts to void our 2nd Amendment rights. Take the battle away

from them and force the discussion and public attention to local towns, communities, and the states. These

idiots are always nervous when they have to be around real people, who have real jobs, living in real houses in

real communities where real crime and real murders by real criminals are happening 24/7.

Democrats have you fixated on "guns" instead of the deranged nuts who use them. The Marxist Alinsky tactic

here is to make the dialog about "guns". Obama said "the answer is not more guns in schools". Yet, this is

exactly the answer everywhere but elementary schools in gun-free zones. It is not the guns in schools, but the

good Americans carrying them to defend the children in the school from the criminals that Democrats want to

keep loose on our streets. Democrats have isolated "guns" as the enemy and all their marginal media swirls

around falsehoods perpetrated to maintain the dialog about "guns".

It looks like we fell for this Democrat trick again. And it is so inane and simple!

The answer is not more criminals loose on our schools.

How about that for a counter? Criminals are the problem, not whatever they turn into weapons against innocent

victims. Yet Democrats loose criminals on our streets at every opportunity. check "illegal alien drunk drivers" ,

repeat sex offenders, so many other categories of capital criminals who Democrats want loose on our

streets,..... all while Democrats deny exactly what they are doing.

One more thing is that Americans need to challenge Democrats and their marginal media at every single

opportunity. These fringers frame their questions so that you are guilty as soon as you answer because you are

in their context without even knowing it. Think before responding. The Democrat/marginal media questions and

statements are always superficial. Challenge Democrats on their lack of reality at every opportunity.

I feel that a large number of American firearms owners, will wait until "they" pull up in front of their

houses to confiscate their means of protecting their families, and their lives.

I don't think Congress or SCOTUS, has any faith, in the very documents that by which, the People

grant them power. Think about that. As WHYNOTT pointed out to me a couple of weeks ago, it's like a

group of spoiled, "entitled" children, expecting to preside over a "club" after they have burned down the

It's a lot easier to come pick up bodies after all of the shooting is done than to deal with riots that turn into

firefights. It's really just one more gimme for Obama supporters, if you stop and think about it. Criminals are a

There are 3 times as many car related fatalities as there are gun related in the U.S.

More people own cars than guns. Many people have several cars.More people operate cars under the influence of drugs or alcohol than guns.

Because just like the house caving on taxes, obama the lawless is seeking an "admission" that guns are bad.

He's pushing the NRA to cave and give him what he wants, that admission, and in return, they can polish his

jack boots and keep "some guns".

But it's the admission, like the "admission" that tax cuts caused the problems in America, that guns are the

wholly underestimating gun owners in the United States. Just seeing the photo-op shots that will be highly

publicized after the meeting will serve only to anger gun owners nationwide. The same way that seeing

Boehner cow-tow to the President despite what the conservative base wanted. And now look what we've got.

Well anyway, NRA should have respectfully declined this meeting.
