2nd Amendment Rally: Our Guns Today, Our Bible Next?



The right to keep and bear arms is never under siege, yet many Americans don't buy it. The NRA-ILA reports:

Tuesday, May 12, on the Capitol steps in Harrisburg, Second Amendment supporters, state lawmakers and pro-gun organizations will be holding the annual Second Amendment action day at 10 a.m. The keynote speaker will be Sheriff Richard Mack, former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona.

Remember Sheriff Mack? Richard Mack was the anti-Obamacare advocate who suddenly needed help paying his medical bills.

Former Arizona county sheriff Richard Mack, a fierce opponent of Obamacare and a leader in the "constitutional sheriff" movement, is struggling to pay his medical bills after he and his wife each faced serious illnesses...But he can still thank the ACA for being able to buy insurance. Without it, he and his wife would have pre-existing conditions that wouldn't be covered by any pre-ACA policy. And annual limits. And lifetime limits.

This Second Amendment rally features Mack as their keynote speaker, because by the high standards of rural Pennsylvania, he's a real patriot. Mack's courageous patriotism was demonstrated a year ago at the Bundy Ranch standoff in Bunkerville, Nevada. He vowed to put women on the frontline if federal agents started shooting during the ridiculous standoff. Bundy has yet to pay his $1.1 million in grazing fees to the federal government, more than one year later.

Sheriff Mack personifies the right-wing mindset that dominates rural America: people who are dependent on the government but unwilling to admit it; combined with a love of firearms, Jesus and an irrational mistrust of science. I suppose Sheriff Mack has to make a living somehow and these are just the people who want to hear his opinions.

1. These mental midgets firmly believe the more guns a situation has the better

Because they are stupid.

I mean stupid as in not good at math, not able to do two things at once, not able to use common sense ever.

It is truly embarrassing to live in the same society as they do.


ps

Aint about guns, about skin color and name of prez

nothing else matters

[Terra Alta]

2. these people are looking very foolish.

No one is taking their guns, OR their Bibles.

These people are so paranoid it isn't even funny.

[hifiguy]

3. Calling these people cretins or imbeciles seems grossly insufficient.

There has to be a new word or term coined to express the complete lack of higher mental capabilities on exhibit here.

I am not up to the task, but will settle for "fly-eating lunatic orcs" for lack of anything better.

I honestly cannot understand how people this dumb can wipe their asses if there aren't IKEA-like directions printed on each square of TP.

[drm604]

4. The way they routinely connect guns and religion is bizarre.

[LeftishBrit]

5. Seems that guns are something of a 'graven image' worshipped by the Tea Party types

I am not talking about gun ownership as such, but about linking guns with God and the Bible.

[Hoyt]

6. Yet we let unstable people carry gunz just about anywhere, except NRS headquarters.

NRA knows what kind of sickoos are attracted to gunz.

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. I wonder that same thing all the time.

The only thing I can really come up with (I live with a lot of these people here in Missouri) is that most of them are really uneducated. And they just seem to grab onto any rumor that's circulating at the time.

If they do go to college they go to those Bible Colleges which are probably worse than the TV preachers.

I am constantly confounded by the pure stupidity of these people. They will believe anything.

[hifiguy]

11. Find and read Joe Bageant's "Deer Hunting with Jesus"

and Thomas Frank's "What's the Matter With Kansas."

Those come as close to explaining it as anything does. Basically a combination of fundy religulous idiocy, proud anti-intellectualism and equally proud ignorance of facts are the pillars of this "outlook." They don't know a damned thing but they sure believe to the marrow of their bones mountains of things that are provably untrue.

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. I know. I am constantly amazed.

I just saw something over on Raw Story where one of the dumb Duggars (I hate those people) stated that all science proves creationism.

It's just one completely asinine thing after another.

[hifiguy]

14. Carl Sagan is laughing his ass off in the great beyond, if there is one.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Alex Filippenko are laughing their asses off in the here and now.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. Except it really isn't very funny.

Just look at Kansas. What a disaster for anyone who isn't rich.

The poor are just going to have to move out of that state.

[geek tragedy]

8. These are the bitter clingers. nt

[world wide wally]

9. This ain't your parent's and grandparent's America anymore

[NightWatcher]

10. Here's the warehouse where Obama stores all the guns he's seized

Care to see the one for the bibles? (guess what, it's the same one)

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. Oh, yea. Obama is going to take over the world.

And all the True Believers are going to have their heads cut off with the guillotines the government is stashing all over the US.

It's always something new and each one is weirder than the other.

[SummerSnow]

17. Oh , all the guns were transferred to the FEMA camps to be melted and made into cookware

[leftyladyfrommo]

15. I'm still trying to figure out just how guns and Christianity go together.

I bet the Pope doesn't carry a concealed weapon.

[hifiguy]

18. Judging by his recent pronouncements, Pope Frank

doesn't seem to think very much of war and violence.

[SummerSnow]

19. Remember in 2008 when Obama made this comment...

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/apr/14/barackobama.uselections2008

Obama angers midwest voters with guns and religion remark

"They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."--Barack Obama


Those people were angry. Guess he made them liars.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. I just read that the military has secret underground tunnels

under Walmart Stores in Texas. That way they can move about quietly while they take over Texas.

[spanone]

21. and not one person has touched one of their precious fucking guns

[Archae]

22. Except those who get busted for felonies.

Which is good.

No, this all springs from the GSL, (Gun Sales Lobby, formerly known as the NRA,) they just want to sell guns.
