OUCHIE: NRA-ILA calls out CSGV’s attempts to set up confrontation between cops, gun carriers

The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action has long ignored the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Ownership’s repeated encouragement for their unhinged followers to call police when they see someone with a gun in public.

Their reckless advice endangers not only the person(s) with a gun, but other innocents in the area.  Remember, civilians are often part of the backstop in police shootings.

The gun grabbers’ encouragement of “swatting” gun owners has escalated recently, and the folks in Waples Mill have brought out the big publicity stick and applied it judiciously to the intemperate children working at CSGV.

The NRA-ILA’s rhetorical spanking will leave a mark.

As you might imagine, it wasn’t well received.  Read on…

 

Unhinged: Antigun Group Seeking to Provoke Confrontations Between Police, Lawful Carriers?

Friday, September 4, 2015

(NRA-ILA) – The cracks are showing at the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.

Granted, it can’t be easy for them these days.  Overall rates of violent crime are down.  Americans are embracing the right to keep and bear arms and rejecting calls for gun control at historic rates. Gun control standard bearer Barack Obama has utterly failed to advance antigun legislation through Congress and occasionally sounds resigned to defeat. Gun sales have soared to record highs in recent years.  Worst of all for them, the NRA’s approval rating tops those of prominent gun control politicians.

All that money.  All that outrage.  All those antigun editorials in big city papers.  All those academics and “researchers” churning out antigun papers that immediately get picked up by the media. All those celebrity endorsements.  All those years of work.

And the Tweets!  Fingers aching from endless antigun Tweets!

This was supposed to be their time.  Other fringe political movements are getting traction.  Why not them?

But to CSGV anti-gunners Josh Horwitz and Ladd Everitt, we ask, has it really come to this? SWATting? Calling the cops on your competition and hoping to provoke confrontations?   Maybe getting a law-abiding citizen, or even a police officer, killed? Maybe mistaking a cop for an armed citizen and pitting cop against cop?

This is extremism at its very worst. We’re tempted to say we’re surprised.

But not really. We’ve seen this coming. We took the gun control movement to task over this issue a while ago, but that was different. Those were just cranks commenting on gun control websites. Still, we said, you ought to at least have the decency to disavow those tactics.

But you didn’t.   You’ve now adopted those tactics as your own. “Oh, those poor babies,” you wrote.

America, this is the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Ironic name for a group wishing to provoke armed confrontation between police officers and law-abiding citizens. They’ve never accomplished anything to stop violence of any sort, or even accomplished what they really want, which is the banning of guns. They are angry. And they want you to lose your guns, and more. They want police officers and gun owners to see each other as enemies, with all the implications that entails.

But it’s okay. Police officers and lawfully armed citizens have been getting along just fine throughout America’s history, and they will undoubtedly continue to do so. In fact, the police, who keep our streets safe, believe in the law-abiding citizens’ right to keep and bear arms and reject gun control as the magic panacea against violent crime. Maybe that’s why Josh Horwitz and Ladd Everitt are willing to put them at risk, too.

Nice try, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, but we’re fully confident that the responsibility and good sense of law-abiding gun owners and the professionalism of America’s law enforcement community will carry the day.

 

The NRA’s spanking didn’t sit well with CSGV fans.  Remember, CSGV’s followers are people who said the decorated American hero Chris Kyle was a murderous criminal guilty of war crimes.

 

  • Robin Thompson I despise the NRA and this loathsome psychological war they are continuing to wage. They are treasonous and hateful. They prey on the fears and hatred of others to fuel their cause. They are EVIL!

  • Tanya Ruff Field So sad but so true. The carnage continues. The right to own a gun trumps the lives of children, civilians, and police officers. No common sense or responsibility required. Where have all these responsible gun owners been over the past few weeks?

  • Ruth Robinson Well it is in the interest of the arms industry to escalate the war between criminals and law enforcement while simultaneously making Americans fearful enough of both that they think they need to carry a gun all the tine.

  • Jerry Bolin This post confirms the fears of those who want to have some modicum of gun control. That is that armed civilians and cops in the same vicinity is problematic at best and very dangerous to the safety and welfare of both cops and unarmed civilians.

  • Anna Krantz NRA is a little confused. It is the NRA’S ” Jack booted thugs” propaganda, stroking insurrectionists sentiments for decades that has put our law enforcement officer’s lives in danger, resulting in cold blooded murders of our cops by civilians that buy the NRA propaganda.

  • Dominique Schwartz You know I don’t think there would be too many that would weep if the NRA were to cease to exist, the only purpose they serve is to promote their gun manufacturer buddies to the public, politicians and push their agenda. They even tried to insert themselves into the debate about the gun registry here in Canada much to the anger of a lot of people.

  • Susan Erdman Doroba I find it odd that there is no by line. Who wrote that piece of garbage? Again it feeds the agenda of taking guns away and not once have I ever seen that endorsed on this page. Only safety. But they must keep the outrage and the surge in purchases up. The shame is on them my friends. The blood is on their hands not ours.

  1. They are a sad bunch of cranks indeed.

    Was it one of their members who tackled the man with a CCW in Florida a while back and got himself arrested for it?

    You don’t hear about that from these fools.

    What’s more, millions of NRA members and non-members will have read about the idiots at CSGV. I’d be surprised if the CSGV had a dozen paid members, much less five million like the NRA!

    I’m the NRA and I vote.

    So is my wife.

    Sam

  2. They put this out to justify their existence to their super rich donors. Does anyone think they would be writing this crap if they weren’t getting paid?

  3. The NRA is sort of like E.F. Hutton.

    Remember those ads? When EF Hutton talks, people listen.

    Ditto for the NRA.

    Now, when CSGV talks, only moonbats listen. The rest of us just shake our heads when they get so incredibly stupid that it gets in front of us.
