Oppose "Gun Control"? You're “crazy, vicious, heartless” says CA state senator (Read 1697 times)

I'd guess there are Hawaii state legislators who have the same beliefs. Apparently an official of a firearms rights organization showed up at senator Hall's office with a bar of soap and asked when the senator was going to wash his mouth out with soap, but the senator declined claiming he "didn't have time". Note that the bills eliciting these comments from these politicians were ones requiring background checks to purchase (any amount of) ammunition and one banning the sale of semi-automatic rifles having a "bullet button" (which they now call "a loophole", but was specifically written exactly that way to require a tool to remove a magazine rather than a human finger alone. Next it will likely require a pry bar to remove a magazine, and when that "doesn't work", they will require an oxy-acetylene torch or C4. I guess you really can't cure stupid.  :crazy:).

At one hearing, Assemblyman Evan Low (D-Campbell) angrily confronted National Rifle Assn. lobbyist Dan Reid, accusing his organization of being responsible for the Orlando shooting because of its lobbying against gun control.

The reason they were murdered was because of your organization.
— Assemblyman Evan Low (D-Campbell) to NRA lobbyist Dan Reid


“Less than 72 hours ago, 49 people were slain in a nightclub in Orlando,” Low said during the hearing. “It’s very difficult for me to sit here and look you in the eye and have respect for you, Dan.”

Low later added, “The reason they were murdered was because of your organization.”

Sen. Isadore Hall (D-Compton) also denounced gun-control opponents who testified that the bills would not save lives. He called them “crazy, vicious, heartless” people, adding that “they need to wash their mouths because they are filthy.”

I'm surprised that people don't realize that the NRA was founded by National Guard members and that people have lost all sense and compared US to international terrorist organizations.
As members of the NRA, we are here to protect what is seemingly left of the Constitution.
I think that the NRA needs a new campaign to show that the NRA is not just a lobbying org but a +million member organization that is composed of Americans dedicated to preserving our rights.
Really pathetic and childlike mentality that these members blame a domestic organization instead of blaming an external threat hell bent in instigating future attack on our soil.
Along similar lines of thought, when we were in Iraq, each household was allowed a select fire AK47 for their own protection. Why did we extend 2A rights to the Iraqis? So, when we were attacked by insurgents in Iraq with AKs did we ban all AKs in the country...nope.
Really pathetic.
This is exactly what our enemies want - divide us so that we are blaming and fighting ourselves. implode.
