Yeah, that's definitely a right wing attempt to hijack MLK. All 50 million Republican voters conspired to do that.

Didn't MLK preach non violence and pacifism?? Engaging in shoot outs doesn't seem like pacifism to me.

No need for any right-wingers to Hi-Jack Dr King's birthday. BO did it.

Why do Democrats claim MLK when the Democratic Party was adamantly opposed to the Civil Rights Act, which only passed because of Republican action.

C'mon Dem's - we are talking about a great man here - not your party's mascot.

Just saw that video. When this whole gun debate is settled, Larry Ward will go down in history as the dumbest, most ignorant, tone-deaf NRA fool to ever try to influence public opinion about guns. Where is his shame in invoking MLK who was a pacifist and killed by a gun!? The nerve! That's like saying, "If Hitler were alive today, he would be a Rabbi."

The more these fools speak up for gun rights, the more they hurt their cause. I love it!

Nobody will take away your guns, but gun restrictions/legislation is coming.... count on it.

The lady commenting afterwards is an imbecile. Does anyone in their right mind think that many involved in the slave trade would risk their lives going after people who had guns in order to enslave them?

"By definition a slave is a person that is disarmed".


I should have waited for more people ignorant of history just to expose their absurdity.
Truth is treason for too many.

I notice that. Apparently several people were shot at the gun appreciation day events.

Irony alert: 5 shot at gun shows on Gun Appreciation Day
