JWhit doubles down on Guns, NRA, KKK

Jason is really a bit out there. This sort of thing does not bode well for anyone

WHITLOCK: 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. 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].

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. 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.

Bottom line is you can only protect yourself and your loved ones. No one else is going to do it when something bad happens. Be greatful you have the right to do so.

Maybe. But his choice of weapon is the go-to weapon in this country.

Gosh, it sure is incendiary and unthinkable to suggest that the widespread availability of something that enables you to kill another person in the blink of an eye may help some crimes of passion escalate from verbal or physical assault to murder. How preposterous~

Someone talked about gun violence after yet another (mass) murder involving guns? DEARIE ME, I DO BELIEVE I HAVE THE VAPORS. Won't someone think of the poor guns?

I'll excuse the 'manageable population' comments...I'll let it go.

Whoops, that was supposed to be his next argument. I'm sure you can take it from there.

Like most things related to the subject its correlation.....Gun ownership is at an all time high as I understand it. And as the article states crime is down rather substantially. Is one a cause of the other? Probably not. But, neither can we say that the rise in gun ownership has created more crime.

Yeah, best to stop once you've stepped in it.

What Jason missed was the opportunity to focus on domestic violence in the black community.Its not a gun culture thing.

Yes, indeedy, you can kill people with just about anything. How many of those items allow you to kill a loved one in the heat of an argument from across the room?

Whatever. Guns are a religion in the US and absolutely nothing can convince True Believers. I get it.

Like, I'm not suggesting we ban guns or anything. That's functionally impossible and I understand that. But this incessant clutching of pearls whenever someone says, "Hey guys, guns can be a pretty shitty thing to add to a lot of situations" is intolerably pathetic. You have what you want, no one's taking your guns. Stop being enormous babies about it.

Law abiding citizens should never be punished due to the actions of an irresponsible murderer fueled on pills and booze.


It's already illegal to abuse prescription drugs.
It's already illegal to drink and drive.
It's already illegal to commit an act of physical harm on your spouse.
it's already illegal to shoot someone who isn't threatening to you or your family.

It's great to know another restriction on law abiding citizens will protect us all from pill popping, drunken people with murderous intentions.

Piss up a rope.

Not sure, how many, but I would guess anything sharp enough or heavy enough to throw would do the trick. Given that he was an NFL player, Im going to guess he needed nothing but his bare hands. But, yeah, I get it too...it has nothing to do with the act, but the political motivation of some.

Well, that wouldnt have gotten him so much play on NBC football or other media outlets, now would it?

[Ultra Peanut]

Ah yes, there we go. "HOW DARE YOU POLITICIZE THIS ISSUE! GUNS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS," gun fan says after unspeakable tragedy the moment anyone associates this gun crime with guns.

Actually, IMO, killing someone with a gun is less personal than with your bare hands or stabbing them to death. It's faster and more effective, in most cases.

No see, guns are EXACTLY THE SAME as knives. How dare you suggest otherwise!
