‘Wilkow!’: A New Communication Strategy for Conservatives on Gun Rights

Jan. 16, 2013 8:18pm Christopher Santarelli

The president has released his extensive legislative proposals and executive orders on gun control Wednesday, calling for tighter regulations and restrictions one month following the shooting massacare at Sandy Hook elementary. The overhaul involving such a sensitive topic will be challenged by many conservatives, interested in focusing the debate on the rule of law, rather than emotional reactions to recent tragedies. To stay on target, Andrew Wilkow recommends a new concept for conservative politicians to consider called nuclear micro-messaging.

“Instead of getting people to accept a common enemy via micro-targeting, how about getting people to reject the common enemy?” said Wilkow on TheBlaze TV Wednesday.

Watch Wilkow explain this, and discuss new communication strategies with Trey Ditto and Kate Obenshain for the upcoming battle on gun rights below:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

If they used the term military type or style in any law or ordinance means all firearms since the revolutionary war. legalese for all fire arms. and should be noted and reported on.

I sick of hearing the left run off at the mouth that we as gun holders do not need an AR. They feel we can protect ourselves and hunt with other types of guns so it is perfectly legal to outlaw AR’s. The left continues to state that nothing in the constitution says we have the right to these types of guns or magazine sizes so by omission they can outlaw them. Let me say I do not own an AR but believe it is my right to own one if I so choose.
I guess if that is there basis for the constitutionality of gun bans then I assume they are in favor of outlawing any and all violent video games and movies. The same material can and often is available in books so there is no need to have it in video and movies correct? I would guess the same holds for the 1st amendment as does with the 2nd with regard to the constitutionality of this. I see nowhere in the constitution the right to violent movies or videos and since the same material can be printed in books it would not be obstructing the freedom of speech or am I wrong. The left had better be careful when they attempt to destroy the 2nd amendment because without it there will be no 1st.

yep. liberals shouldn’t be allowed to own guns. especially politicians. oh yeah and neither should rednecks, they’re nut-jobs. oh, and neither should african-americans. they’re all gang-bangers.

I’m lovin this logic. it might actually work. put up some billboards to cater to the demographics of each region.

That’s brilliant. Even Democrat drones would reject obamas gun control if they saw billboard saying “Support obama–women and Jews shouldn’t have guns!”.
