"That defies commonsense"

Hey, when the NRA thinks you are too much of a gun nut, you better lay down.  



NRA officials split with Trump on wisdom of armed club-goers

Washington (CNN)Top National Rifle Association officials split Sunday with Donald Trump's position that armed club-goers are a good idea.

"I don't think you should have firearms where people are drinking," said Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's chief executive officer said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "But I will tell you this. Everybody, every American starts to have -- needs to start having a security plan. We need to be able to protect ourselves, because they're coming. And they're going for vulnerable spots, and this country needs to realize it."

NRA lobbyist Chris Cox told ABC's "This Week": "No one thinks that people should go into a nightclub drinking and carrying firearms. That defies commonsense. It also defies the law. It's not what we're talking about here."

Trump had said Friday at a rally that armed club-goers shooting Omar Mateen "would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight."

"If we had people, where the bullets were going in the opposite direction, right smack between the eyes of this maniac," Trump said, gesturing between his eyes. "And this son of a b---- comes out and starts shooting and one of the people in that room happened to have (a gun) and goes boom. You know what, that would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight, folks."
LaPierre later tweeted: "I want to clarify my comment: if you're going to carry, don't drink. OK to carry in restaurants that serve alcohol."

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

They're all a bunch of crackpots!  Who is this "they" that's coming supposedly to get their guns?

At a guess, the same 'they' that were going to take people's guns away the day after President Obama was sworn in.


If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Just one more indication that Drumpf is a flaming looney. He speaks without thinking. One has to ask themselves, if he were president, would he act without thinking?

I, for one, don't want to take that chance.
