Gun Enthusiasts Heckle Father Of Newtown Victim

[sasha031]

HARTFORD — A false fire alarm, 45-minute waits to get into the Capitol complex, even the heckling of a bereaved parent of a Newtown shooting victim marked Monday’s day-long legislative hearing on gun control.



“The Second Amendment!” was shouted by several gun enthusiasts in the meeting room as Neil Heslin, holding a photo of his 6-year-old son, Jesse Lewis, asked why Bushmaster assault-style weapons are allowed to be sold in the state.

“There are a lot of things that should be changed to prevent what happened,” said Heslin, who grew up using guns and seemed undisturbed by the interruption of his testimony.

1. Classy fucks.

[sasha031]

6. Martin Bashire has a video clip

how can people be so evil

[Tagish_Charlie]

24. Agreed.

As much class as a turd in a punch bowl

[AlbertCat]

38. Classy fucks.

Who obviously are not mature and intelligent enough about guns to own one.

[Angry Dragon]

2. Tough guys

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Classless bastards.

They should stick their precious guns up their asses.

[russspeakeasy]

14. and on full auto.

[cali]

4. They are utterly shameless.

How could anyone do this? It boggles the mind.

[MichiganVote]

5. Supporting these parents will be an ongoing process for all of us. Shame on the hecklers.

I don't care if people want to heckle me-my kid wasn't slaughtered for the sake of somebody's backyard tin can sport.

[nick of time]

7. What a bunch of pricks.

Why do people have to be so heartless?

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. Were any gungeoneers among them?

Wondering...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. Why would you ever think that?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/11729282

[freshwest]

50. UGH.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

58. DU's finest, right there.

Ugh is right.

[freshwest]

62. I've become less tolerant of these ravings than I once was...

[AtheistCrusader]

29. No, this was fucking horrifying.

It's precisely how you lose the debate for public opinion/support as well.
It's why the NRA has sentenced itself to irrelevance in the coming political fight.

Sans decorum, nobody is going to listen to your point. If you can't be respectful, zero people in the margins that could have otherwise been swayed by your argument, will be.

[lpbk2713]

9. Stupid mouth breathers.

The cattle call for Deliverance II is the next door down.

[Lucky Luciano]

42. LOL! nt

[Thinkingabout]

10. There should be a No Purchase List and names like the heckler should be added.

He apparently does not have good judgment and his behavior does not reflect responsible behavior. Let him spend the time and money to prove he has proper restraint.

[onehandle]

11. Sociopaths. nt

[villager]

12. We've seen that same level of "empathy" and tact from many of the gun apologists here

n/t

[Chorophyll]

13. Look at this poor man's face.

What kind of inhuman garbage monster do you have to be to shout down a man whose child was murdered only a month ago?



When did the 2nd Amendment become the most goddamn important amendment of them all?

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. I want to see pictures of those gunhumping wads

that hollered their 2A bullshit.

Then I want to post them on the internet.

[freshwest]

51. +1

[HockeyMom]

16. Castrate them

As a woman. mother, and TA, that is what I would "LIKE" to do to these jerks. You MACHO MORON.

[Cha]

17. They sound like brainwashed idiots who don't have a fucking

clue about what's going on. Absolutely showing their ass about why they shouldn't have guns.

[MuseRider]

18. Exactly the reason we need gun control

too many of these fuckers have no compassion and no care about what happened to this man and his family a month ago. They do not even have enough control over themselves to stop in the name of common decency when faced with someone who has lost the most precious thing, a family member. People with no common decency and no control are the last people who should be allowed guns with ammo.

Just my angry and not so humble opinion. My children are grown ups now but if I was in the shoes of this man and this happened it would probably put me away for good. How dare they?

[AlbertCat]

39. They do not even have enough control over themselves to ...

It's a religion! It's a gun worshiping cult. All emotion and no sense. Logic and compassion for "others" fly right out the window.

[frylock]

49. couldn't agree more

[Fumesucker]

19. President Obama did say that gun control advocates need to be respectful and listen better

[nobodyspecial]

22. Yeah, I'm sure he had assholes who heckle the parents of victims

in mind when he made the statement. In fact, I'm sure he would support this behavior.

[Whisp]

23. what fucking bullshit

you should be ashamed.

you yourself should have more respect in a thread like this, but no, you just go for the Obama Hate, you have your little dirty soap box carried with you in whatever thread with whatever latest Hate Obama message.

feh. what horrible grossosity.

[Fumesucker]

25. You could use a little more irony in your diet

Did it ever occur to you that Obama was telling us to listen in order that we more clearly hear what the other side is saying?

Personally I got a pretty good earful today.

You should really be sure of what your target is before you pull the trigger.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=1480985

[Whisp]

30. you were trying to make it sound like Obama agreed with these crazy loons

deny it all you like

[Fumesucker]

35. Obama games *everything* out, this is just another example on the level of "please proceed Governor"

You think Obama hasn't figured out there are some real nuts on the pro gun side who will say outrageous and highly offensive shit if they are but given the chance?

Evidently I think more highly of the POTUS than you do.

[Whisp]

37. Mr. Sucker...

I am done with you.

You can leave now.

[Fumesucker]

40. I love you too

[ellie]

34. I think all guns should be banned. Period. End of story.

There is no reason anyone needs a gun in modern times. None.

[Archae]

36. That is the stupidest remark I've seen here.

What about hunters?

Those like me who have a pistol since it takes the cops a half-hour to get to a crime?

Soldiers?

[ellie]

57. What about hunters?

Hunting is a terrible practice. Ban all guns. Period. End of story.

[Archae]

59. Ban all knives! Ban all axes! Ban all ropes! Ban all hammers!

Just using your "logic."

[ellie]

60. How many mass slaughters are there every year by rope?

By axe? By hammer? The tide is turning against gun nuttery and all the anti gun people have to do is let the gun nuts keep talking. So, keep talking.

[Archae]

61. Yeah, all gun owners are "gun nuts" who will kill lots of people.

And the Moon is made out of green cheese...

[gopiscrap]

55. I fully agree!!!

If you own a gun then you are an enabler of the NRA.

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

65. kudos to you for stating that...!

Personally I tend to agree, I like how it's done in Japan & Korea tbh.

[liberalmuse]

20. Pieces of sh*t excuses for human beings.

Shame on them. When you start heckling someone whose child was needlessly slaughtered, it's about damn time to start questioning your humanity and wonder if your soul has gone dark.

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. The fanatics only wanted to have a "reasonable" conversation without all the "emotionalism"

This is the average speed for gun nut assholes. But they want to be "rational" about it, doncha know.

[OhioChick]

27. How horrible. What if this happened to their children? n/t

[doc03]

28. No surprise there, a lot of them don't even believe it happened. n/t

[mokawanis]

31. Reprehensible

Wish there was a way to single those assholes out and publicly shame them.

[Moostache]

32. May everyone of them suffer immeasurable loss of their own.

To do what they did is unconscionable and something that should trigger a universal karmic blowback upon them. I hope they accidentally shoot the most cherished person in the world while loving cleaning or fondling their essential AR-15 assault rifle.

And to their "THE 2nd AMMENDMENT" bullshit...all I can say is that I believe it would be pretty nifty to have an Apache attack Helicopter of my very own (would sure make rush hour road rage a thing of MY past); and it would also pretty very neat-o to have a Naval Destroyer instead of my piss-ant Sunfish sailboat the next time I get to take to the high seas (I would definitely be safe from piracy THEN!!!); and I can't even begin to describe the coolness of having my very own Abrahms tank...sadly, all of THESE forms of arms ARE BARRED TO ME!!!! Don't give me the asinine "logic" of the slippery slope on this one. "Keep and bear arms" could be interpreted to mean swords and crossbows just as easily and logically consistently as assault weapons and semi-automatic rifles or pistols with high-capacity magazines intended to do one thing and one thing only - KILL AS MANY HUMANS AS POSSIBLE IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WITHOUT THE INCONVENIENCE OF RELOADING!!!

I hope the bastards doing this to that poor father rot in the hell of their pathetic existences forever.

[ellie]

33. I fucking hate people

I support banning all guns. Fuck these motherfuckers.

[RetroGamer1971]

41. This is what I think of the armchair gun army protecting us from tyranny!

[CTyankee]

48. Heh. This is how these brave "patriots" fight, isn't it? I love it!

The little tin soldiers, pretending to be so brave and so strong...and they fall apart at the least provocation. God help us if "they" are our first defense against any enemy...they'd throw down their guns and run...

[Joey Liberal]

43. Sick Fucks

Frickin gun-nuts.

[logosoco]

44. I wish I could believe in hell because this kind of person is just the one who a place like that

would be perfect for.

Will this people be yelling for their 2A rights when someone they love is shot down? The way things are going in this world it seems like the odds are that this could very well happen.

[MisterP]

47. they literally don't think it'll happen to them if they have a gun

they're "prepared" and "safe"
like Objectivists and right-libertarians, they think they'll be successful no matter what, so to hell with social structure

[another_liberal]

45. To paraphrase Chuck Colson . . .

To paraphrase Chuck Colson:

"I'd walk over the grieving father of a murdered six-year-old to keep selling assault rifles!"

[Initech]

46. Heartless, soulless pieces of crap.

[htaylordu1699j]

52. Sigh, typical gun nut

It's clear that human lives mean nothing to these people. They only care about their precious phallus enlargements.

[MrMickeysMom]

53. Yes... now let's review what the "second amendment" slope brows burped out of their stenching mouths

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

What don't the knuckle draggers shouting out get about the way these words are grouped?

WHAT IS IT that they don't they GET?

What words in the SENTENCE STRUCTURE escape their tiny celled lined limbic brain?

[davidn3600]

56. I guess it depends on how you want to interpret it

Back then the founders didnt like the idea of a large standing army. So they believed in a "well regulated militia" that can be called upon in times of war or crisis. That militia is the "whole people," as George Mason put it.

Thomas Jefferson even suggested that learning to use firearms should be a standard part of education.

The type of gun control the founding fathers would favor is probably similar to what the Swiss do today. Owning a gun is encouraged, and most citizens own firearms, but there are permits and you need to learn how to use it. There is also no standing army in Switzerland. It's a true militia system.

[MrMickeysMom]

63. What is a true militia system?

Surely it can't be anything capable of sending single rounds and not magazines rounds.

Regardless, it's "well regulated", which is what I was referring to.

[kwolf68]

54. Ya know

When a man has to bury his 6-year old son and then makes some statements, even if I don't agree with him, the least I can do is S.T.F.U. and let him speak.

People who can't give the man that much respect are ingrates.

[Algebra Palin]

64. shutting the fuck up is a lost art
