An Open Letter To A Very Disturbed Person NRA's Lapierre

Dear Wayne: Sorry I couldn't make it to the annual meeting. I'm a Life Member and I try to get there every year. But this year is different. If I showed up you'd tried to get me to help you fight a "culture war." But if there is a war going on, you represent the wrong side.

I just watched your speech. I think it's time you dropped this nonsense about protecting our "rights." Be honest and tell it like it is. The reason you're opposed to background checks has absolutely nothing to do with the Second Amendment. It's about making it as easy as possible for everyone to own a gun. More guns means more profits for the gun companies, and that's who you really represent.

In 2011, Ruger's stock was trading at $21 a share, now it's at $51. Smith & Wesson's stock was three bucks a share, today it's almost nine. I remember after the 2010 elections when it looked like the Obama administration was going to be toast, gun dealers like myself couldn't give away the inventory. Now we can't keep anything on the shelves. You keep referring to the president as an enemy of the gun industry. The truth is that Barack Obama is the best salesman the industry ever had.
Ending sentences that say it all:

For all your talk about defending liberty Wayne, I'll give you something more important to defend: the young children whose lives always seem to take a back seat to how many guns you can get Americans to buy. I'm talking about children at Sandy Hook, a 4-year-old in New York, a 2-year-old in Kentucky. There's something immoral about denying any connection between the deaths of children and the explosion in gun sales that you claim show how much we love our freedom. I'd rather have those kids alive, even if it costs me more than a few bucks in gun sales. MORE HERE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-weisser/open-letter-to-wayne-lapi_b_3219807.html

I had to make a new video of "GOP and NRA Do A Victory Dance" because the copyright gestapo at youtube said THE CHURCH BELLS in the previous video was COPYRIGHTED. That's right, church bells apparently are owned by "Slavia-Integrity", sound recording administered by: 7:20 The Orchard Music ???
CHURCH BELLS??? I wonder what the churches are going to do now that they have to pay royalties when they ring their bells??? thinkingblueDear Wayne: Sorry I couldn't make it to the annual meeting. I'm a Life... more

1st and 2nd Amendment: Freedom to Hate and Freedom to Terrorize?

Oh, what a dilemma is Democracy.

The person or people responsible for the Boston Marathon Bombing are perplexing to say the least. They carry within their being, hatred and loathing against something or someone they believe are culpable for the pain they feel, believing themselves to be victims of an uncaring and callous society. They feel a deep need to blame an entity for their actual or imagined suffering and in so many cases, it winds up being the government.

I did a little research on a person that displayed the classic psychotic symptoms that resulted in a complete breakdown of the reality they lived in; a mental collapse so severe that this person started planning a strike-back against their delusional enemy ‘The Government’.

Timothy McVeigh was the embodiment of this type of mindset, he planned such a heinous and monstrous plot against society without one single hesitation that what he was doing might be over-the-top and too vicious. Upon reading his bio, I couldn’t help but think about the United States Constitution, with its 1st and 2nd Amendments; we are dangerously surrounded by individuals who live in a reality that's made up of fear and hate that sometimes can and does erupt in a complete paroxysm of rage. Please read the excerpt below and click the link on Timothy McVeigh. thinkingblue

Timothy James "Tim" McVeigh (April 23, 1968 – June 11, 2001) was an American terrorist who detonated a truck bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. Commonly referred to as the Oklahoma City Bombing, the attack killed 168 people and injured over 800. It was the deadliest act of terrorism within the United States prior to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. As of 2013, the bombing remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in United States history.

McVeigh, a militia movement sympathizer and Gulf War veteran, sought revenge against the federal government for their handling of the Waco Siege, which ended in the deaths of 76 people exactly two years prior to the bombing, as well as for the Ruby Ridge incident in 1992. McVeigh hoped to inspire a revolt against what he considered to be a tyrannical federal government. He was convicted of eleven federal offenses and sentenced to death. His execution took place on June 11, 2001 at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. Terry Nichols and Michael Fortier were also convicted as conspirators in the plot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh
