NRA's Obama Gun Seizure Propaganda Costs Lives

With the election of Barack Obama, the NRA has once again embraced the paranoid language and anti-government rhetoric that defined the organization in the early 1990s. Alleged cop-killer Richard Poplawski is one gun owner who took the NRA's paranoid language at its word. Learn more about the NRA's extremist rhetoric and links to the Tea Party movement in the new VPC study "Lessons Unlearned: The Gun Lobby and the Siren Song of Anti-Government Rhetoric" at http://www.vpc.org/studies/lessonsunlearned.pdf

Dear VPCvideos,

I applaud your great and noble efforts to keep guns out of the hands of innocent law-abiding citizens who have no need to defend their property, family, children, and spouses from torture, rape, murder, and being at the mercy of violent criminals and or psychopaths who trespass into the privacy of their own homes. Keep up the good work!

This looks like a hack job of a video. Next time try lining up some audio with video that corrosponds. Your editing sucks, your message is convoluted, please do yourself a favor. Don't make anymore videos.

@Badhyungah Gun control isn't the catastrophe that you're implying it is to be honest. There are plenty of countries with heavy gun control and lower rates of violent crime than the US. Doesn't mean gun control is good, but clearly it's not catastrophic.

Congratulations - you've proved nothing. Whether or not the NRA embraces paranoid language and conspiracy theories has absolutely no bearing on the validity of gun rights, which predate, and exist wholly independently of the NRA. Alex Jones, noted conspiracy theorist, embraces anti-war views; I suppose you folks at VPC would say that means anti-war views are invalid.

It's been fun watching more and more states realize how completely full of shit gun control supporters are.

Our forefathers were smarter than all of us. They new that people like you and me would have to defend ourselves against orgs like the VPC.

@scbane Agree with you 100% scbane. VPCvideos wants to turn you into a slave with no ability to defend yourself.

They are fools of the highest caliber, (gun pun intended), and have no idea how the real world works.

They just happen to fixate on this issue to give their life meaning with no clue what they are real chopping at.

They are attacking freedom. Plain and simple. Makes them a worse enemy of mine then any street thug or drug dealer out there.

@Bluemilo Ha, he couldn't take guns away. The economy was tanking and the gun industry was one of the only industries making money and growing.

He gave some speech were he said he wouldn't touch guns cause they were making money for the country.

[scbane]

Is it ironic or just sad that I am more afraid of people like those at the VPC than a criminal on the street? Good thing I have big bad evil guns that kill more kids than say malnutrition in the United States. Hey VPC...how many more kids die of malnutrition than are killed by guns every year?

[FireFighter0254]

Just ONE more reason I CC. :o)

[busyhands94]

@bigdubbatoo haha, I'm thinking the exact same thing after watching this. Liberals are a lot like children, they want it and they want it now. I mean really, I know dogs that are smarter and braver than the gun grabbers.

[Bluemilo]

I am a gun owner and have to say this time NRA was wrong. Obama didn't take away my guns, only my ammo price went up because of this!

[bigdubbatoo]

Why bother with such blatantly untrue anti gun propaganda a small child can see right through ??
