NRA statement

I read it...Wow...it was brilliant. The logic is "bulletproof".
Yet the mainstream media is already spinning the speech as crazy.
Uninformed people read the media spin and immediately believe the "interpreted version".
They probably did not listen to or read the speech. If they did they would find the suggestion "bulletproof".

Along those lines, AOL/Huffpost has come out of the closet flaming and taken a rabid anti-gun stance. They issued a very direct statement to subscibers of AOL.
Unfortunately I started using AOL email from the very early days of the internet and moving to another email service would be difficult...kind of like moving a house.

  I noticed that people commenting on the NRA speech on AOL/Huffpost are foaming at the mouth anti-NRA. It is amusing and frightening.

When I looked at Yahoo news coverage, the text of the story was the same as the Huffpost coverage. But the reader comments were mostly pro-NRA.

Since it seems impossible that ONLY anti-NRA people use AOL, it makes me think that AOL/Huffpost is screening the comment section and only letting through the anti-NRA  commenters. That sounds like censorship and brainwashing to me. Welcome to 1984.

this is far better than what the GOA put out on Piers Morgan's show.  arguments that will seem more rational to those on the other side.

but blaming music, movies and games was dumb, imo.  and citing Natural Born Killers, and American Psycho?  really?  both movies are kinda satire to start with, and they're from more than a decade ago.  talk about sounding dated.

As soon as they get rid of those pesky guns, your right to freespeech will be easy.

Those comment alienated what ever support it could have had from videogamers, musiciians, film makers, and their fansbase.
