“MoveOn says that besides [spending ‘six figures’ on air time for] the TV ad, they’ll greet members of Congress as they head home for recess with organized rallies and congressional office drop-bys.” No irony intended by cnn.com or moveon.org I’m sure. “The group also says it will distribute ‘The NRA Doesn’t Speak for Me’ bumper stickers.” Thankfully, that’s a particularly weak campaign; it doesn’t say what the NRA says that moveon supporters don’t agree with. In other words, it’s as clunky as it sounds. And who is this Jerry Thompson guy anyway?

    • Oh, they’re definitely not. This guy probably owns a .22 rifle which he’s probably shot less than once per year on average.

      And no surprise, comments are disabled on the video.

      • Nothing bothers me more than the fact that the comments are always disabled on left-leaning videos on YouTube. I guess they know what they’d see.

        I think what bothers me most is that it just proves they aren’t interested in a debate, discussion, or hearing any opinions or “common sense” or even almost considering the other side of the argument. The close-minded attitude is difficult for me to reconcile.

        • They know they’re wrong, plain and simple, but so much is dependent on their warped psychological views (victimhood, ignorance of unpleasant truths, comfortable cowardice) that they simply can’t handle facing the truth. Thus, they don’t want to be reminded of it.

    • Nope, most people in Ohio are not this stupid. Granted, I think Wayne LaPierre is a terrible spokesman, but this guy doesn’t even have a point.

  5. Stop taking the NRA’s money and take another lobbyist’s money that supports my narrow world view instead!

    • > Soros should die. Monstrous Commies

      Commie? George Soros is the embodiment of Ayn Randian capitalist ideals. The guy has so much money the Republicans would have him run for president in 2016 if he wasn’t a foreigner.

      George Soros, Mitt Romney, and Al Gore will be wining and dining in Galt’s Gulch counting their billions of dollars — which makes them better people than us — while the rest of the world competes to serve our betters at Chinese slave wages in the race to the bottom.

      • Actually, Soros is probably not the embodiment of Ayn Rand’s ideals.

        I’m not an Ayn Rand fan but have read her two most well-known books (The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged). I found them interesting and thought-provoking while at the same time deeply flawed.

        In both books there are various characters who are enormously wealthy but nonetheless are clearly villains in the story, because they obtained their wealth through fundamentally dishonest means and tried to advance “collectivist” ideals. The author clearly did not equate wealth with virtue.

        • I suspect that Ayn Rand would be a libertarian before joining the Republican party.

          I don’t think she saw wealth as virtue. She saw value as virtue. She saw value in those that exchanged their capabilities and efforts for the true value of those efforts. She saw the true evil inherent in the Marxist ideal: “Give according to ability, take according to need.”

      • On the surface yes but after the fall of the Soviet Union scholars got access to Soviet archives and lo and behold arch capitalist Armand Hammer turned out to be the bag man for the COMINTERN. At that point the CIA started to look for who the KGB might have beem grooming to be Hammer’s successor. While they could not find an unambiguous answer many analysts thought it just might be George Soros.

      • > The author clearly did not equate wealth with virtue.

        Her followers do.

        Look at who they ran for President in 2012.

        Next thing I know you’re going to tell me is that Communists don’t believe in gulags, because Marx didn’t mention them.

      • Yeah, he is quite the conservative Republican(rolling eyes). I wouldnt call that America hater a Yankee Doodle Dandy by any stretch.

  7. Someone needs to speak for that asshat, he should be thankfull the NRA would. Typical go off on a tangent, blowhard, POS, Randy

  11. Pitiful. One would think a well-funded libtard organization like moveon could run a better false flag op than this. A gun owner? Supporter of the 2nd Amendment? Really? Not even the low information Obama stooges would fall for this.

  12. But he’s a proud parent of a soldier, so he must love this country and defend it’s constitution. [/sarc]

  13. So why doesn’t the NRA come out with a sticker that says “Moveon speaks for George Soros. The NRA speaks for me.”?

  14. I dunno who he is, but this ad, built around this one (random?) guy has all the hallmarks of a anti-gun trap.

    I would refrain from speaking of him, until we know EVERYTHING about him.

  16. Tomorrow, you and I get our first look at the gun control monster President Barack Obama and his anti-gun pals have been building behind closed doors . . .

    Make no mistake — this will be the biggest fight over our gun rights in a generation, and you will have a critical role to play.
    But from the news already trickling out, I can tell you that what I’m hearing isn’t good.

    The Obama administration is preparing to launch all-out WAR on our gun rights, including:
    *** The Feinstein Gun Ban;

    *** A full-scale national gun registration scheme hidden under the guise of “background checks;”

    *** A total ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds.
    All in all, there are 19 anti-gun measures President Obama will pursue.

    You and I have to FIGHT BACK with everything we have.

    The future of our gun rights will depend on it.

    For Freedom,

    Dudley Brown
    Executive Vice President
    P.S. The Obama administration is preparing to launch all-out WAR on our gun rights. You and I will get our first look at their gun control monster tomorrow.

    Make no mistake — this will be the biggest fight over our gun rights in a generation.

    In fact, U.S. Senator and NAGR member Rand Paul has thrown down the gauntlet.

    • If we still have a republic come high noon on January 20, 2017, I hope that Rand Paul is taking the oath, with Marco Rubio or Allen West as his Vice President.

  17. (7) Immediate Response Authority. Immediate Response is any form of
    immediate action taken by a DOD Component or military commander, under
    the direction of DOD directives and any supplemental guidance, to assist civil
    authorities to save lives, prevent human suffering, or mitigate great property
    damage under imminently serious conditions. When such conditions exist
    and time does not permit approval from higher headquarters, local military
    commanders and responsible officials from the DOD Components and
    Agencies are authorized to take necessary action to respond to requests from
    civil authorities consistent with existing law and regulations. As soon as
    practical, the military commander or responsible official shall make a report
    through their chain of command to the National Military Command Center
    (NMCC), which will then notify the NORAD-USNORTHCOM Command Center.
    This notification should reach the NMCC within a few hours of the decision to
    provide immediate response. Army commands require notification within two
    hours of the decision to provide immediate response assistance. Upon SecDef
    approval and CJCS EXORD execution, CDRUSNORTHCOM may request
    OPCON of any forces that remain at the incident.

  19. Don’t underestimate the impact of this stuff, folks. This is a well funded national level campaign to split the gun-owner base. I’m subscribed to most of these email lists and I’m warning you that this one has legs. They’ve been beating the anti-NRA drum for two solid weeks now, which is a freaking eternity by modern standards.

      …
      Most gun gurus’ have a simple, mostly effective answer to the standing still problem: dial-up your situational awareness before the incident goes critical. Have a plan ready-to-go. If you’re prepared to move before you have to move you’re far more likely to move when you have to.

      This theory rests on the bedrock of Col. John Boyd’s OODA loop: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. That’s how we all process information. If your OODA loop is faster than the bad guy’s OODA loop you might be able to knock him for a loop, and live to tell the tale. The key to OODA loop speed is practice.

      The anti-gunners have been running cirlces inside our OODA loop.

      Two months into this and the pro-gun groups are still way behind the curve. I can’t even say we’ve been reactionary, becuase we haven’t figured out how to react yet.

      Yep. Obviously agree with both since this is the outcome I’ve been predicting.

      Mark my words, the self-defeating AWB 2.0 dog-and-pony show will look like the easy part by the time this cycle is over. Defeating the mag capacity limits is going to be seriously fracking hard, because it is way less objectionable to some of the pro-2A legislators than AWB 2.0.

      Folks, our OODA loop is substantially behind the confiscators on the magazine capacity limits. We need to work on framing the argument in terms that work in our favor. We need sound bites and well-honed arguments that leave the opposition speechless.

      I’m deeply concerned that we are starting off behind in the real battle to retain our full 2A rights.

      The magazine ban is a perfect example of where our side has failed.

      The David Gregory kerfuffle was a godsend for our side. His crime was broadcast on TV. Yet the Washington D.C. attorney general refused to press charges, going on the record as stating that prosecution of David Gregory for illegally possessing a 30-round AR-15 magazine

      “would not promote public safety nor serve the best interests of the people“.

      We could not have asked for a better sound-bite. There should have been ads using the A.G.’s words running on TV and radio. Six-weeks later, where are those ads?

      “No magazine ban should be allowed to pass as long as David Gregory remains a free man.”

      That that is a message the NRA, GOA, SAF, etc. will never broadcast, probably due to “professional courtesy” among Washington insiders.

      • No magazine limit will pass the House. I don’t see why Second Amendment supporters continue to fall for this meme. It is as if you want it to happen.

  21. Well, he’s right about one thing, the NRA doesn’t speak for the vast majority of Americans… They speak for those of us who have hired them for about $35 per person per year to speak for us.

  22. OATH KEEPERS MOLON LABE PLEDGE

    We will never disarm. We will never surrender our military pattern, semi-automatic rifles and the full capacity magazines, parts, and ammunition that go with them. The fundamental purpose of the Second Amendment is to preserve the military power of We the People so we will have effective means to resist tyranny. Regardless of what unholy, unconstitutional filth issues from the mouths of oath breakers in “Mordor on the Potomac” our answer is MOLON LABE.

    Sign a pledge

    • I’m curious.

      Can you give me an example of an act of tyranny by the government (other than limiting your ability to own whatever firearm you want) that you would need to protect yourself from?

  23. My traces are red, my guns freshly blued; guess I did the best the blood lies on those who those who put these bills through. .

    • Yeah its hard to believe that the acts tyranny or from fools who don’t even know the acts of treason their committing.

  25. I am a gun owner. I am conservative not a republican. I live in Ohio. The NRA does not speak for me any more. Those guys endorsed Ted Strickland in the last election cycle for Gov of state. An Obama clone! How can anyone give financial support to a group that wants to elect people who have shown total contempt for 2nd amendment, ie: Strickland/Obama?

    Strickland also was Obama’s lead man in Ohio for the 2012 election cycle.

    Move on and Obama/Strickland are the same people. How does the NRA explain that? I asked them the question. I was basically told to go away.

  28. WHAT!

    .CON.RES.107 — Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high… (Introduced in House – IH)
    Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

    Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution

  29. I wish those frackers would stop spamming me. I also get spammed to death by Nancy Pelosi, the White House, Michelle Obama and countless others. I hope their computers blow the hell up.

  30. I wish these jerks would all go live in the gun free utopia of England, instead of trying to push this BS here.

  31. The NRA does not speak for me either!

    I lived through one of America’s wars to tell about it, I aint leavin and nor am I going to sit back and watch a bunch of gun obsessed nut jobs threaten our way of life!
