PBS is attacking the NRA

[Plane]

      Kinda lopsided so far.

       The PBS thinks of itself as even handed , which proves them clueless.

Good historical information , with a strong slant.

I was more impressed by the following program "Path to Violence".

Where the Frontline episode was a tale of woe about how the American people can't accept the wisdom of their betters.

"Path to Violence" is about alertness and realism in improving security and care for children in school, this story includes a lot of success, but since such success wounds and bleeds less than failure we hear less of it.

It  was a glorious  documentary that showed what utter and ASSHOLES Lapierre and Heston and the rest of those fanatics are.

Where were these Good Guys with guns when the gun nut blew the heads off those cops?

Nowhere in sight.

NY has some  of the strictest gun laws in the nation, so probably because legally, the "good guys" were not allowed to.  As opposed to the radical who assassinated the officers, most gun owners, are law abiding.  Not to mention, that this was a sudden attack, where the radical fired only 4 shots.  Broke every law on the books, and no proposal currently being pushed by anti-gun/anti-2nd amendment radicals would have stopped it either.  Chew on that for a bit

[Xavier_Onassis]

Chew on your schlong, The fact is that not a single NRA moron was there to protect those cops.

[sirs]

A) Not their job/function
B) NY has some of the strictest gun control laws on the books, making it even far more unlikely anyone could have saved those officers, with their own firearms
C) Not one bloody gun control proposal being pushed by your ilk, would have stopped this crime

Damn facts

If one of them was there, he was probably empty handed.

The murder of those cops would not have happened anywhere in Western Europe, Japan, Australia and a lot of other places as well.

This is because there are not a zillion guns for gun nuts to get their hands on there./

And again, if guns make the public safer, why did it not prevent this?
Wayne Lapierre is full of shit.

[Plane]

The murder of those cops would not have happened anywhere in Western Europe, ...............

Not taking this seriously?
Paris is in Western Europe last I checked and they don't have any laws that prevent this sort of thing.

Because law hasn't got that effect.

[sirs]

Sure it could have.  It happened here, because race-baiters, that you so proudly defend, have portrayed law enforcement as one massive racist organization, targeting black men.  Ignorant radicals then take that as a justification to kill police officers.  Its no different than what happened in Paris, where the gun control is far stricter than here, and yet radical Islamic terrorists used completely illegal automatic weapons, to murder 12.  It has squat to do with how many guns we have in this country.  You don't disarm the law abiding, and think that the radicals will decide not illegally acquire their weapons to kill

And you answered your own question....NY is a region where guns are strictly regulated.  Very few are allowed to carry concealed.  Nothing however could have prevented this.....not one of your precious anti-gun proposals would have stopped this.  This radical didn't purchase his gun legally, thus no background check.  He only fired 4 rounds, so no ban on magazines greater than 10 rounds would have stopped it. 

The only one FOS is the one proclaiming that its the amount of guns in this country that allowed those officers to be assassinated

PBS asked all the main NRA and other gun nut organizations to contribute to their documentary and every one of them declined.
So it this was one-sided, then whose fault is that?

I remember how utterly clueless and moronic Michael Moore made Charleton Heston look. Poor bastard blathered on about how he thought he needed guns to protect himself from "certain people", but he just could not define who those "certain people were" without looking like an asshole and a bigot. Of course, he has never been threatened by anyone.

Let them bury him with a gun in his cold, dead hands. Throw all the rest of his arsenal into that coffin with him. He can be like a time capsule  when they dig him up in 2626.

How Ironic.....I remember how utterly clueless & moronic Larry Elder made Michael Moore look.  Poor blathering hypocritical bastard.  I'm surprised however, it took you this long to try to change the subject to Moore & Heston, as if they had anything to do with what happened in New York & Paris.  Then again, when the facts aren't on your side, that's your go-to crutch

In a clunky, round-about way, this brings up a good question.  Putting aside the apparent rationalization on it being ok for a "news source" to push a 1 sided propaganda piece, how much does an organization, like PBS, need to push to get "both sides" of a story?  Then again, I've seen, read, and heard countless stories from news sources, like PBS, CNN, even NPR, which proport to be both unbiased and reporting "all sides" to a story, when in the end, they present a commentary that is anything but balanced

[Xavier_Onassis]

If LaPierre wanted a balanced coverage, he was invirted to speak, as were all the other Gun Nut organizations. They all declined.

They cannot stand up to the questions that they would be asked and knew they would look like assholes.

That is because they ARE assholes.

But they had their chance. They were invited, and they declined.

And Michael Moore really did make Heston look like a dolt. Because Heston is a dolt. A fearful, frightened skeered little twit that is not half the man that many of the figures he played were.
