    NRA – Greedy, insensitive, and dangerous.CEO, Wayne La Pierre – Proof that a million dollar salary can buy loyalty over public welfare.Politicians – Proof that many value re-election over public welfare.

    I don’t have a problem most RESPONSIBLE gun owners. The NRA, as a lobbying organization, at their head, merely sucks, totally crazy and insane, and shouldn’t qualify on mental stability to obtain a concealed weapon , or long rifle, permit, especially Wayne La Pierre.

    “Who going to protect us from Code Pink,,, Anyone do a mental healh background check on those zeolots?”

    “no…this guns would be maintained even to protect these off-balanced zealots… "

    You switched horses midstream.

    I’d believe you if you said Code Pink wants to reduce the number of soldiers.I’d believe you if you said that Code Pink doesn’t want us to deploy our soldiers into overseas combat.If you say that Code Pink wants to take our soldiers’ weapons away (and send them into combat unarmed?), well…I’m gonna need to see a citation.

    Zealotry is zealotry, but given a group of zealots waving guns (and zealous about waving guns) and zealots NOT waving guns (even zealous about not waving guns), I’d say the first group is the one to keep a close eye on (as “posing a danger to themselves and others”).

    “Code Pinko are zealots and are one step away from ‘planting bombs.’”

    Again, you are maintaining that a bunch of unarmed women are a physical threat. Can you back that up?

    “Can you ensure that they are not armed because they are already have the main ingredients to make a homicide bomber…”

    Why would I need to? They’ve never threatened violence (they’re outspokenly opposed to it, in fact). I think you’re projecting, and imagining that they must want to do what you would like to do.

    What do you see as “the main ingredients to make a homicide bomber”? The fact that they disagree with you?

    Was this book making a general statement, or was it specific to Code Pink? Again, what has this unarmed group of women ever done to indicate they’d advocate violence to achieve non-violence?

    If anybody carrying a sign and shouting rings the “inevitable bomber” bell in your brain, do you feel the same way about Tea Party rallies? Particularly if the signs are calling for “Second Amendment Solutions”?

    For that matter, when was the last time we had one of these mass shootings or bombings and it turned out the perp was a woman? I’m not saying it’s never happened, nor that it never could, but by and large wanton violence is a guy thing. And if a woman DOES strap a bomb to herself and set it off in a crowd, I’d wager a considerable sum that some man talked her into it.

    Women can be passionate about issues, and zealous, and unruly – the Suffragettes chained themselves to public buildings, and Carrie Nation swung a hatchet (to smash open liquor barrels) – but movements founded by and composed of women aren’t known for inspiring violence among their ranks.

    Or are you afraid of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers as well?

    So it was written long before Code Pink came into being. What has Code Pink done (or threatened to do) which makes you believe they’re dangerous? Why are they “fanatics” rather than simply “activists”? Again, is it simply because you disagree with them?

    Do you feel the same way about any organization with a cause? What about the NRA? They’re just as zealous, and they’ve got guns. Again, what about the Tea Party?

    Apparently law suits are on the table too. There is already a $100 million suit filed against the state for not providing a safe school setting. OK, a gun free zone with a gate and a guard wasn’t enough? Apparently not. There also wasn’t an effective student safety emergency response plan and protocol. It should be interesting to see what comes of this.

    1984 was about an out of control Government that counted on fear and paranoia. The enemies of the country are out to get you and they are inhumane. The allies of the country are good and have always been so even if they were enemies before. Revisionist history meant that books had to be banned because they can not be changed fast enough. The TV was to be on all the time so you can get the latest Government approved news. I think Fox news will others will say the whole MSM.
