NRA Is The New KKK

On CNN contributor Roland Martin’s podcast posted to his website Monday, Jason Whitlock, the columnist who inspired Bob Costas’ commentary on gun control during halftime of Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game on NBC, revealed his peculiar take on the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Whitlock spoke out against the NFL’s handling of the aftermath of Jovan Belcher’s suicide and gun issues in his Sunday FoxSports.com column. During Martin’s podcast, he likened the NRA to the Ku Klux Klan and tied the group to the dangerous street culture that unfortunately dominates “so many black youths.”

“Sports gets so much attention, and people tune out the real world, that I try to take advantage of the opportunity to talk about the real world when sports lends itself to that and try to open people’s eyes,” Whitlock said.

“You know, I did not go as far as I’d like to go because my thoughts on the NRA and America’s gun culture — I believe the NRA is the new KKK. And that the arming of so many black youths, uh, and loading up our community with drugs, and then just having an open shooting gallery, is the work of people who obviously don’t have our best interests [at heart].”

Whitlock disagreed with the idea that gun ownership “enhances” liberty, explaining how — in his view — it damages society.

“I think it’s obvious if you’ve traveled abroad, and traveled to countries where they have legitimate gun laws, that we don’t have to have what we have in America, where people somehow think a gun enhances their liberty, and that people somehow think a gun makes them safer,” he continued.

“It just doesn’t. A gun turns some kids listening to music into a murder scene. And uh, you know, if you don’t have a gun, you drive home. You know, kids listening to some loud music, you don’t like it, you go home and complain to your wife. But when you have a gun, you open fire, potentially, and take the life of a child.”

Yeah, well, IMO this country has more problems than gun ownership.
When will the libs figure out
guns don't kill people, people kill people! We have a huge
problem in this country and it is called Lack of respect.
By that, I mean kids/adults have no respect, there is no respect for property
rights, and on and on. We have raised kids for at least the last 30 years
that have no fear
. Remember when they broadcast those very words
on their T-shirts? They have no fear of consequences. Drugs run rampant,
but again that is part of the no-respect problem. If people really respected
themselves, would they do drugs? I don't know. I never took drugs. Never
had the need to. I think about all these video games, too.
I think they undermined our morale in this country. So many of them are all about killing.
TV shows and movies, how many can we find that are decent, family-type
shows? We have indoctrinated our young people for years and now those
people are adults, and adults with no respect for life--theirs or others.
Well, I'm sure there will be those who disagree with me, as for the most
part, ranch and farm people don't have the problems of the cities. I just
spoke with a man last night that called about doing some surveying here and
he just came from the big cities. He says that out here we can't even imagine
how those people think and do. He's a tea party person and attended some of those rallies and they were
peaceable and respectable.
So, what does the news media do, SPIN it to the way they want. He said
watching the news talk about it, he even wondered if he was even there. :?

Well, my mind is having a run away this morning. :x
I'll get off my soapbox now. These are just my thoughts and I'm just
basically a hick from the sticks (thank the good Lord above for that).
