‘They Ought to Be Called Murder Incorporated’: Liberal Talker Bill Press Attacks NRA

It ought to go without saying that using the Aurora shooting to make hyperbolic political points is in poor taste. Unfortunately, that seems to be the variety of taste that Current TV’s Bill Press has.
Press, who has a history of taking cheap shots at conservative groups/individuals with whom he disagrees, lobbed what was (even for him) an uncharacteristically sharp accusation at the National Rifle Association (NRA) today, all but outright accusing them of supporting murder by virtue of opposing gun control.
“After a hurricane, we talk about what kind of new levees we might build. After 911, we invented TSA. But after a mass murder, we’re not allowed to talk about gun control. Why? Because the NRA might not like it. Well, guess what? I don‘t give a damn about the NRA and I’m not afraid of them. By standing in the way of any sensible gun control, I think the NRA has blood on its hands. They ought to be called Murder Incorporated. How many more Columbines, how many more Virginia Techs, how many more Aurora, Colorados before we finally declare our independence from the NRA and stop worshipping the almighty gun?” Press snarled. “There’s no need for anybody outside the military to have an assault weapon.”
Watch Press’ outburst here:
Now, one could point out the problems with Press’ comments until the cows home. However, for now, the best response may be simply to quote from the Governor of Colorado, John Hickenlooper, who was asked about precisely the topic of gun control after the Aurora shootings, and had this to say:
If there were no assault weapons available and no this or no that, this guy is going find something, right? He’s going to know how to create a bomb.
Now, if even the Governor of the state where this tragedy happened doesn’t think this idea is a good one, where is Press getting his terror about people worshipping the “almighty gun” from? Who knows, but his comments clearly don’t bespeak a sober view of the evidence.

Posted on July 24, 2012 at 6:53amThe liberal gun control faction is quick to blame the NRA and legal gun owners. I would like to see them explain the Shootings in Chicago, New York City, Boston and Washington DC. These cities have the strictest gun control laws in the country and lead the country in gun related crimes.
They will have to take my guns and it would be a good idea if they sent a SWAT team to get them. I also have a CCL and carry all the time. I haven’t shot anyone since Viet Nam and hope I never have to but if a few of us had been in the theater in Aurora there would have been fewer victims and the state would have saved the money for a trial.

Posted on July 24, 2012 at 6:55amAssault weapons are select fire (can do full auto). Secondly, the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was in fact to assure that we were in *exact parity* as far as individual weapons systems (firearms). U.S. v Miller in fact was a declaration of that very principal. Had the defendant been porting around a full auto rifle instead of a shotgun, he’d never have been brought to court.
These demons were grasping to “not let a crisis go to waste” while there was still warm blood on the theater floors, first trying to make this “tea party” and after that failed, going to their own gibberish fallback, which is “blame the tool and not the person using it” aka “gun control”.
Too late. Not going to happen. Go pound sand.
