Well that "gun nut" reference didn't take long; can the rest of the herd be far behind?

Sarah Brady, along with Carolyn McCarthy and some (the ones we hear about) Sandy Hook parents, have become one-trick ponies, pushing their anti-gun agenda at every turn. 9/11 survivors and relatives of plane crash victims even try to restrict public access to 911 calls and other "disturbing" data.

What all this means is that the survivors of tragedies, along with their relatives, can pose persistent and serious threats to our freedoms.

I never watched Piers Morgan on CNN. I did watch him on America's Got Talent though. He was very annoying on that show, so it is no surprise he flopped on CNN. There is a bigger issue though. I don't like foreigners. I was ready to throw something at the TV last night when all the foreigners kept getting called to the stage for Oscars and speaking in their accents. What ever happened to Americans on American TV? Surely we can find a talk show host or a judge on a talent show that is eligible to be president. And let's make it a rule that only Americans can win Oscars. Let the foreigners get their awards in France.

Are you saying Mrs. Brady is getting a talk/blab show?
I have that question as well, and cannot find a definative answer.....

I like him too. He's definately a lefty, but is very fair and unbiased when discussing a topic with guests. At least as far as I've seen.

Wow! Xenophobic much?

It was at this point, that you negated any amount of credibility that you may have had.... You criticize second amendment supporters for being rude, by being rude to them? Makes sense...

The scary part is that I think you actually are rooting for that to happen....

P.S.
If that did happen, I certainly wouldn't blame a clump of metal, I would blame the wacko criminal. I also wouldn't use the actions of one wacko criminal as an excuse or justification to infringe on the freedoms of 100,000,000 legal gun owners....

I can't figure out if this post is sarcastic or not....

But just in case, James Brady was shot during an assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. Both James and Sarah became outspoken gun-control advocates after the shooting. The "Brady Bill" is named after them.

Were you thinking of Gabriel Giffords, who was shot in the head in Arizona much more recently? Both Mrs. Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelley, are also outspoken gun-control advocates.

Either way, Brady is as anti-gun as Morgan.
