After School Shooting, Anti-Gun Advocates Want NRA President, Members to Be Shot
Following the horrific act of violence that occurred in Newtown, Conn. on Friday, some anti-gun advocates are calling for NRA president David Keene and all other members of the NRA to be shot. To be clear, these people are calling for violence to solve what they think is the cause of many acts of violence — guns.
All NRA members should be shot!!!!I thank you, that’s one of my own !!

Some have since deleted their tweets, but we still have the screen shots.

As Twitchy points out, “@BayAreaHouston is not just any random Twitter user. He is John Cobarruvias, a Democratic Party precinct chair in Houston, according to Houston blog Big Jolly Politics. (Update: He is also member of the State Democratic Executive committee.)”
The obvious point here is, violence can never be solved with more violence.
On Friday, shooter Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother before driving to Sandy Hook Elementary and killing 20 children and six adults before taking his own life.
The NRA has been quiet in the aftermath of Friday’s elementary school shooting, shutting down their Facebook page and not registering any posts on Twitter since Friday morning, CBS Washington reports.
The gun rights group has still received criticism for its silence following the shooting. However, if the NRA spoke out in favor of guns so close to the shooting, they would surely be ridiculed by those same critics for “politicizing” a tragedy. So while it seems like a lose-lose situation for them, the NRA is sticking with respectful silence for now.

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 4:41pmThey want to kill all NRA members and those that support them?
“OH NOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!” – hat tip to Icanhascheezburgers
I guess they think we will just hand our guns over, right? Riiiiight, as Dr. Evil says.
Just put us out of our misery? Hardly. More like put us out of THEIR misery.
Just like a criminal, who is unsure if his victim will fight back, once the anti-gun nuts realize their solution will not be easy or clean, they will back off…..for the moment.
Tyranny starts this way. Two wolves and a sheep making dinner plans.

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 4:36pmGuns act as “force equalizers” for all men, women, and children enabling defense from stronger, more able violent attackers that would otherwise not be possible.
It is estimated that law abiding citizens used firearms for personal defense over 2.5 million times annually or about 6,850 times per day. For recent more information not typically reported in the national media check out:

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 4:17pmI try to imagine the outrage that would ensue if one of our members suggested killing Barack Obama for violating his oath of office. The libs would be all over it. People like this are just Nazi’s without the balls to act and without the guns to follow through on thier pathetic threats. “Oh, we’re against violence!”, except that we can see thier hypocrisy on full display.

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 11:52amIts just a nudge-pushing for one type weapon band-then we go after another then another until there are no weapons except in the hands of bad guys
If everyone had a weapon-crime would drop big time.

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 11:51amHumanity will adopt socialism world wide and give up much of their firearms without the need for big government. This will come about because of spirituality and a change of consciousness when the bridge to heaven is discovered. When bigger government attempts to impose the above, it only leads to injustice and failure. Religion as well will not provide the answer as it has only led to deep divisions and hatred. One group claims the truth over another. God will provide the solution with the inspiration he gives as he did with Thomas Edison and others who provide the hard dedicated work of science. A bridge to heaven where individuals can pilgrimage safely to experience heaven first hand will be discovered. We already know that such a bridge is possible based on the many real Near Death Experiences recorded (as opposed to often hallucinogenic experiences caused by various drugs). While others wait for Jesus to return, for man to sprout wings and develop gills, there will be hard working scientists working on a discovery that will transform humankind.

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 9:40amThese people cannot possibly be using the brain God gave them! An eye for an eye is what they believe. So much for the “tolerance and acceptance” of this bunch of unthinking emotionally charged lefties.

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 9:34amI doubt that Lanza was a member of the NRA, and if you care to check, none of the other’s that have commited mass murder were members either. If deer were armed and could shoot back, how many deer hunters would you find walking the woods on a cold November day. You cannot rid our society of evil. That will not happen until God says enough is enough, and Jesus returns to end the misery of this world.
