Katie- great points. Wealthy Leftists are so hypocritical. So many have ARMED security. So many live in the capitalist world looking for the lowest tax breaks they can get. They live pristine, one upsmanship lives where they can do and say what they want. BUT when it comes to the common masses (us) they want to control usand have us all on the same page. Its okay for Parker and Duncan to do that type of thing- if an NRA member did it??? All hell would break loose. Whitlock and Costas live in a world where they can judgmentally look out their ivory towers (particularly Costas along with his buddy Ken Burns) and make snap judgments on issues they know little about. The NFL player would have killed that girl with whatever would have been most

..available and it happened to be a gun. I remember a guy mowed down people with his car and thought wow where are the anti car crowd. One thing liberals never want to look at is the human heart or mind and motivations. They make people into deterministic little robots who are pre-programmed to behave certain ways by sinister forces and inanimate objects. Never does it occur to them that people make choices- often bad ones and evil intent lurks. But just like with economics certain people are victims and solely reactive to the evil intent of OTHERS-the rich or the NRA or God or whatever. Its excuseville for the perpetual victim class.

Since NBC sportscaster Bob Costas went on his halftime anti-gun rant on Sunday using words written by Fox Sports Columnist Jason Whitlock, we’ve heard a lot from the media and from uniformed commentators about America’s “gun culture.” The fact is, America actually has two gun cultures and it is important to distinguish them from one another.

The first gun culture is deeply seated in American history and her founding. Founding Fathers like George Washington understood that an armed citizenry would prevent government tyranny, which is why we have the Second Amendment. This is a concept rapper...
