“‘Let’s Talk About Guns’: CNN Anchor Says This Is Making Him Rethink His Stance on Guns”

If this keeps up, CNN might actually find itself an actual news source — or else NRO can hire him on, and maybe regain some conservative street cred.

Imagine:  a black liberal awakening.  A black liberal “intellectual” actually thinking — reviewing data, drawing the proper conclusions from said data, and breezily dismissing the “NRA lobby” as somehow responsible for the majority of gun deaths, which occur either by suicide, or in areas where gun control is most onerous (and, it is perfectly legitimate to note, where Democrats control the state or city governments).

I actually feel a little cleaner for having listened to it.  How refreshing!

(h/t Guido, who proposed an alternate title for the article:  “CNN anchor realizes that bullshit other people say about guns is actually still bullshit.”)

    The CDC has only about seven thousand more important things to do i think.

    Don Lemon is a cable news personality. That is mostly what I think about Don Lemon.

  3. leigh says:

    The CDC is one of if not THE main driver behind gun statistics, happy.

  4. happyfeet says:

    I just don’t have any way at all to feel good about that leigh.

    They need to stop wasting money and focus.

    Read the Huff Po link. That guy is one of the problems. He sees no problem in the black community. Its all whiteys fault.

    The “educator” who sees the math in graffiti? I really just wanted to kill the internet when I saw the term “ethnomathematics.” Imagine my shock at realizing that I’d only learned white math all those years ago.

    I think the guy’s trying to say that handguns are more dangerous than assault rifles and therefore we need to ban handguns, not just assault rifles. I think the guy is saying that if Gubmint won’t get the guns out of the hands of the bitter clingers and tea baggers and other assorted nutjobs, then he’s going to have to get a gun to protect himself from the right-wing menace that would shoot him dead for wearing a hoodie like St. Trayvon of the Skittles.*

    In other words, he’s another elitist hypocrite like Eugene Robinson. It’s okay for him to have a gun if he thinks he needs one. But it’s not okay for you because he knows better.

    *okay, that last bit is all hyperbole and all mine

    Carl Rowan boos the diss from his grave.

  11. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Did I mix up Robinson with Rowan?-

  12. sdferr says:

    I dunno, since I dunno Robinson’s relation to a weapon of his own, whereas I distinctly recall the Rowan incident when he fired an illegal pistol in the vicinity of a kid skinny dipping in his backyard pool in D.C. It was quite the elitist hypocritical to-do, seein’ as Rowan had made his gun grabbing cred very well known prior.

  13. Ernst Schreiber says:

    It would seem I did, then. I regret the error and thank sdferr for the correction.

  14. sdferr says:

    de nada. I just happened to have finished a bathroom renovation up the street from Rowan’s house the week before his faux pas, so it jumped to mind.

  15. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Well I’m glad it did.

    In Charley’s little town in Belgium, there lived an old man, a gunsmith. The old man was friendly with the kids and welcomed them to his shop. He had once been an armorer to the King of Belgium, according to Charley. He told us of the wonderful guns he had crafted using only hand tools. There were double shotguns and fine rifles with beautiful hardwood stocks and gorgeous engraving and inlay work. Charley liked the old man and enjoyed looking at the guns. He often did chores around the shop.

    One day the gunsmith sent for Charley. Arriving at the shop, Charley found the old man carefully oiling and wrapping guns in oilcloth and paper. Charley asked what he was doing. The old smith gestured to a piece of paper on the workbench and said that an order had come to him to register all his guns. He was to list every gun with a description on a piece of paper and then to send the paper to the government.

    The old man had no intention of complying with the registration law and had summoned Charley to help him bury the guns at a railroad crossing. Charley asked why he didn’t simply comply with the order and keep the guns. The old man, with tears in his eyes, replied to the boy “If I register them, they will be taken away.”

    A year or two later, the blitzkreig rolled across the Low Countries. One day not long after the war arrived in Charley’s town. A squad of German SS troops banged on the door of a house that Charley knew well. The family had twin sons about Charley’s age. The twins were his best friends. The officer displayed a paper describing a Luger pistol, a relic of the Great War, and ordered the father to produce it. That old gun had been lost, stolen or misplaced after it had been registered, the father explained. He did not know where it was.

    The officer told the father he had exactly fifteen minutes to produce the weapon. The family turned their house upside down. No pistol.

    They returned to the SS officer, empty-handed.

    The officer gave an order and soldiers herded the family outside while other troops called the entire town to the square. There on the town square the SS machine-gunned the entire family—father, mother, Charley’s two friends, their older brother and a baby sister.

    Anyone think our wonderful progressive-socialist-fascists will be any kinder if they manage to get complete power here?

    I have no problem with him doing that for whatever reason floats his boat. That’s what the Second Amendment is all about.

    I hope he learns to enjoy target practice as much as my wife and I have.
