One of the village idiots at MSNBC Toure speaks out about Gun Control
MSNBC is somewhat of a spawn between the liberal activist channel Current TV and CNN. If anything, it's the unofficial butt kissing, idol worshiping channel for Barack Obama and the Democratic Party. It angers me that I actually have to pay for this crap every month on my Directv bill. This is one reason why I support La Carte programming, being able to chose the channels you want to pay for. Anyways, one of Obama knee cap lickers and all around delusional half wit Toure was doing a segment about how Obama needs to enact gun control. He gave a bunch of completely bogus statistics about how states with strict gun control laws have fewer gun violence. This isn't comedy central, but it's sure a close second.
Interesting that he would have my state of Maryland on the list. Baltimore had 217 murders last year, and is one of the most violent cities per capita in the nation. Illinois has some very strict gun control laws itself, yet over 500 people were murdered in Chicago last year. Toure calls for the White House to ban all assault weapons, yet the overwhelming majority of gun related crimes are committed by criminals using "handguns" not "assault" weapons. I remember way back when, when gun control supporters were rallying to ban automatic weapons, ( a firearm that reloads itself and keeps firing until the trigger is released).. Funny how many people have forgotten that. Now they want to ban certain "semi" automatic riffles, simply because they can hold high capacity clips. When was the last time anyone has ever heard of a story in which a gang banger used a sub machine gun or Tec-9 to kill a person?
Toure said
"We want to envision ourselves as a nation of vigilantes protecting ourselves with our guns, but that’s not what’s happening, Touré said. “We’re an over-armed nation helping gun makers get richer by believing blatant lies that the government is plotting to take away our guns, and believing the myth that we’re protecting and not endangering ourselves.”
Toure like many progressives see things through a collective mindset. He and others like him foolishly believe that if a lawful citizens owns a certain type of gun, it is somehow endangering the community at large which represents "ourselves". Toure is wrong as usual. The government is indeed plotting to take away certain guns from lawful gun owners. He's the one who is deceiving people. Let's say that Obama decides to make the AR-15 riffle illegal to own through signed legislation or through executive order. Why is it out of the possibility that the federal government won't look up all the gun sales of all AR-15 riffles and track down the owners in order to confiscate the guns? It's chilling just thinking that the government can have the power to tell citizens (what it deems acceptable) for people to own or not to own. The fact of the mater is that Obama is not god. Toure and his cult base may think he is, but he's not. Obama can't make laws, only congress can create legislation. The Executive Branch is in charge of enforcing laws. Someone needs to break the sad news to Toure, but Obama can't save anyone from themselves.I've noticed that the media and gun control progressives are implementing a new strategy. In the beginning they exclusively used the term "gun control", but now the left is exclusively using the the term "gun violence" instead.

Right on! I agree with the La Carte programming since there are some channels on my Verizon account that I never watch.
I use to watch MSNBC, CNN and Fox News but got tired of all the bickering that goes on with these talking heads. I finally just had to stop watching those mentioned and other "news" channels. It is no wonder were a divided nation with what is promoted on these types of channels.
Here's to La Carte programming in the future. Who is with me?
Protecting yourself is vigilantism? Now I've heard everything.
George Orwell must be spinin' in his grave.
I've heard arguments that gun owners should be held liable if his/her gun was stolen or "borrowed" to be used to commit a crime.
A former co-worker of mine who is a registered gun owner told me a story that an intruder broke into her home and stole her hunting rifles. She did report about her guns being stolen, unfortunately, she was sickened to learn that one of her guns were used to commit armed robbery and killed a man.
The victim's family in this case, instead of going after the criminal, they tried to bring blame against her that she "allowed" one of her guns to kill their loved one. How can she allow for her guns to kill another person when she already had them locked away and secured?
She was responsible enough to secure her guns and to report them being stolen to the proper authorities. If she did not report them, then maybe the victim's family would have a case.

I rarely watch any of MSNBC..but I was wondering... has Toure or any of the talking heads spoken out against..or mentioned in passing the hundreds of children killed by Obama's drone wars in Libya, Pakistan, Somali, Yemen??? Does this mean that it's OK to use drones to kill children in other countries but in the USA we have to take guns away from US citizens to keep children here from being killed?

In an alternate universe, MSNBC is actually a legitimate news organization that is known for holding political officials from both parties accountable, however on this planet, they are nothing but a boot licking lap dog activist journalism auxiliary of the Democratic Party, that means no they have not pressured Obama on Libya, Pakistan, Somali and Yemen. They rather focus on covering Michelle's new hair style and how great they perceive Obama as being. If Benghazi happened under Bush, the media would be hammering that story 24/7 until someone was fired
