Mike the Gun Guy, from the Huffington Post

[actaeon277]

This guy is supposedly a "gun guy".
At best, he is a Fudd.
At worst, he is a Troll.

So now he is talking smack about Colin Noir.

(Sorry, it is a mobile post, I'm on my cell. Maybe someone can post the regular link)

Anyway, he basically goes after the NRA for being white, and that Colin Noir is just to make guns "cool". Something he disagrees with.
So, some of the commenters take him to task, as they are (black, brown, whatever)

What a fool. I would expect no less from some self righteous, pompous ass Huff and Puff contributor. He's the type that would deride and try to delegitimize a black person for being a Conservative.

You may recall that before he was appointed Attorney General, Eric Holder gave aninterview in which he said that the way to deal with gun violence was to tell kids that guns "weren't cool."

I remember the "brainwashing" statement.

That statement unleashed a storm of acrimony from the NRA and its various noisemaking minions, all of whom were committed to a strategy that promoted guns to millennials and other non-traditional gun-owning demographics on the basis that they were, in fact, cool.

This stuff here sells itself. Little boys make guns out of their hands and Poptarts, really don't need a strategy, numbnuts.

Ah, African-Americans and their "antics". Don't let that minstrel show racism crap hit you on the way out, Mikey. Stop reading here, someone else tag in.

The stuff he spewed about Colion left me shaking my head... Such an idiot.

I never thought that gun violence was about race, or poverty, or inner-city life or anything of that sort. I always thought that gun violence was about one thing and one thing only: guns.

I think I've found his problem. It's the same problem most anti-gun people have. They refuse to get to the root cause of he problem. Until they do, this battle will never end.

Violence is about one thing and one thing only. V-I-O-L-E-N-C-E. <-- Period. Take away the gun and there will still be violence. Genius.

Get rid of guns, knives, metal, explosive chemicals, poisons, etc. and there'll always be rocks, pointy sticks, and fists. It's not what's in the hand. It's what's in the heart.

That's just a bunch of. How does he know that "most" NRA members are old white guys in trucks?

I would like to know what proof he has of that. I can't recall any NRA ad trying to cater to any race in particular. Mike is the one making it a race issue.

Exactly. His statement boils down to the idiotic notion that just because one possess a gun it's the gun alone that makes them commit the violence.

Hey! I'm not old!!

I like that last line but must spread some rep around.

When all they have to attack is your character because they cannot deal with your arguments then they have already lost.

I feel like extending my NRA membership a few more years.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

I am always comforted by evidence such as this article, where the 'intellectuals' among us, talk just as ignorantly as I do on some matters.

Didn't you read the article? The NRA won't let you. End of story.

Hard to write about something when you know nothing about it.
And I bet Mike is a "gun guy" cause he bought a gun, put it in his closet. Oh, and his dad had one, locked up, never taken out.

 

[BluePig]

I got to Huffington Post and stopped reading.
Got no respect for anything there.
They can go pound sand.

Lol @ HuffPoo

 

[Bartman]

I'm not convinced that Mike is a gun guy. Or any other kind of guy for that matter.
