Colorado Newspaper Editor says NRA Members should be rounded up and put in prison

My response:

Mr. Perry, you are the worse kind of fool.

The atrocities we've seen in the news haven't been the result of members of, or actions by, the NRA. In fact, the NRA and it's members seek to stop such senseless bloodshed through legitimate efforts - going after the cause of these events, not the tools used to enact them.

With drunk driving accidents you correctly place the blame on the person, not the instrument used by the criminal. Yet, when it comes to anything to do with firearms, you blame the instrument. That, sir, is hypocrisy, nothing less.

All of these "sensible gun laws" only provide those with evil intent a richer killing field. Why don't you spend your energy trying to determine WHY these criminals do what they do and save the self-righteous idiocy for that fight?

Personally, I believe it's willfully ignorant people like you who carelessly exercise your 1st Amendment Rights who cause far greater harm to others than any firearm ever has.

I, sir, AM THE NRA!

He's thriving off the negative attention he's received thus far...as well as enjoying the pleothora of parasitic sycophants ramming their heads up his nether regions.

Here is one from the New York Times editorial about Kalifornia's enlightened and enviable gun confiscation program.

A continent removed from Washington’s shameful resistance to new gun controls, California has just enacted a law that will speed up the confiscation of firearms from an estimated 20,000 people who bought them legally but were later disqualified because of a conviction for a violent crime, a finding of mental illness or a restraining order for domestic violence. The law, signed Wednesday by Gov. Jerry Brown after passage by the Democrat-controlled Legislature, is a sign that enlightened lawmaking unhindered by gun lobby scare tactics and Capitol Hill filibustering is possible in American politics.

The law allocates $24 million to hire 36 state agents specifically assigned to confiscating, over the next three years, an estimated 39,000 handguns and 1,670 assault weapons now in the hands of potentially dangerous Californians. A confiscation law has been on the books in Sacramento for six years, but enforcement has languished because of budget shortages, with the list of disqualified gun owners growing at the rate of 15 to 20 a day. The allocation of revenue required a two-thirds vote of approval, which the Legislature’s supermajority of Democrats delivered.
The gun lobby was smart enough not to oppose a law to take guns from convicted criminals and the mentally ill. It did, however, unsuccessfully challenge the financing mechanism, which will tap gun owners’ registration fees to pay for the program. In another burst of common sense, pro-gun Republicans were rebuffed in their simplistic proposal to authorize the arming of schoolteachers as a response to the shooting rampage in Connecticut in December that killed 20 children and six school staff members.
Instead, the Democrats on the Senate Public Safety Committee used 5-to-2 party-line votes to advance a series of proposals to strengthen the state’s already respectable gun controls, including a requirement for background checks and licenses for ammunition buyers, and a proposal that would deny gun ownership to people who abuse alcohol and drugs. Final enactment of these proposals would be a further sign of California’s leadership on gun safety measures that most of the nation can only envy.

I would be inclined to end my relationship with the NRA once people like the writer stepped up and fought for my second amendment right instead of just his first amendment right.

Going to their websites only earns them more advertising dollars.

Who ever heard of Dave Perry before he began writing his intentionally inflammatory op/ed pieces? He is a bomb thrower in the truest sense of sensational journalism.

Maybe someone who is a "Pro-Gun Democrat" could sit down and have a chat with Perry. I will waste no time on him or his weekly printed rantings.

Be safe.

Dave Perry has a long history of writing incoherent, nutty editorials.

[dwalker460]

The fact he still draws breath should be clear proof of the tolerance and good-naturedness of responsible gun owners.

His reply to an e-mail will probably be the same as other "journalist" who preach anti-gun, "Fringe" elements, when i e-mail them.
