Louie Gohmert is back, now he agrees with Sandy Hook truthers...

Can't someone throw a net over this guy?

Louie Gohmert Thanks Sandy Hook Truther, Pledges To Watch Conspiracy Theory Video

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 7/29/2014 12:45 pm

While guest-hosting yesterday’s edition of the Family Research Council radio show “Washington Watch,” Rep. Louie Gohmert fielded a call from a Sandy Hook truther who asked the Texas congressman to watch and pray over a video, Sofia Smallstorm’s “Sandy Hook Hoax: Ultimate Case Closed Debunked.” Sandy Hook truthers generally believe that the elementary school shooting was a hoax designed to justify the enactment of new gun laws. Gohmert was quite receptive to the caller’s suggestion: “I will sure do that, Sandy, I’m always learning new things and appreciate the input. Thanks for that thought and I will check out Sofia Smallstorm’s video and find out what it is that is so compelling.”

there are two options for the future as in guns


1. more people have guns, every day more and more guns and more and more shootings and death

2. less people have guns, every day less and less shootings and deaths from guns until NOBODY anywhere including police have a gun


Which would you like to live in, I know the answer.

I enjoy wild duck, and have gone duck hunting a few times.
Actually bagged one duck on a hunt.

Hunting in the US is one of the most regulated sports, and money from duck hunting licenses goes to maintaining duck habitat.

About 125 years ago, duck hunters used "punts."



Yes, that is a cannon on the kayak-like boat.
So the "hunt" was instead a slaughter.

They were outlawed when it became obvious those "hunts" were decimating species.

Nowadays, the most firepower allowed legally are semi-auto shotguns, and they can only have a magazine of 3 shells when duck hunting.
My brother-in-law has one of those.

I have a single-shot with a hammer on the outside that must be cocked manually.

The funny part is my BIL missed all three times, I bagged the duck with my antique.
(It was made in 1910, the date is engraved on the gun.)

If this was a hoax designed to get public support for newer, stronger gun laws...then... where are all these new gun laws???

Logic.. escapes these people.
