The National Rifle Association is stoking ire from both the left and right today after it released an ad that injects President Obama's children into the guns-in-schools debate.
"Are the President's kids more important than yours," the ad asks. "Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed security at their school?"
The 30-second commercial appears on the NRA's website and is apparently running on the Sportsman Channel.
"They are out of step, out of the mainstream, totally out of sync with what’s going on in our society, and quite frankly after seeing that, I think some of the people who run that thing are sick," said Mika Brzezinksi, co-host of MSNBC's Morning Joe. "I really do. I think they are sick in the head."
George Washington and his buddies were probably considered to be terrorists as well. They stood up for their beliefs and made the fateful decision to fight for independence, even though the odds were against him. England was considered a superpower back in those days. While I am not Washington, I do recognize that there may come a time that a forced change of government is necessary in the US. While you may ridicule the idea, history has shown that no fighting force is invincible.

It's not concealed carry permit holders you need to worry about, dimwit, its the thug who has a gun illegally. Jesus what a dumbarse.
Obama has come up with nothing that would help curtail gun violence either. The NRA at least promotes responsible gun ownership and gun safety education. We need to come up with a logical approach to addressing violence in general. The emotion based calls for more gun regulations is just acting to distract from coming up with a real solution to the problem of violence in our society.
This ad is simply pointing out to the uninformed masses that the "Elites", the most staunch proponents of gun bans, are the first ones to put their children under protection by ARMED security. Whether Obama's children are at this school, or not, there are at least 11 armed security personnel present (then add the SS agents to the mix). This school is not specifically for the children of politicians, it is for the children of the rich, elitist class in the DC area. This push for gun bans and advanced regulation will do nothing to quell the problem of gun violence, it is simply more feelgood legislation for (as Charles Krauthammer coined), "the appearance of motion". There are thousands of laws on the books which make these recent tragedies illegal, MURDER being #1, but those didn't even make the deviants bat an eyelash. Additional regulation has failed miserably in the past, but history doesn't seem to be this country's strong suit.
And no, this man is not my President. I have no respect for a man who tramples on the Constitution. None, zip, nada. You can't say the same about Walker.
Spud Lovr @SpudLovr In Wisconsin, military recruiters and gun shows allowed in high schools but #WisGOP outlawed voter registration drives. #wiunion #p2
