Father of Newtown Victim Heckled

[GuyPinestra]

The chairman of the hearing had an obvious agenda, to silence those whom he disagreed with.

The speaker asked a question, was met with silence, and then used that respectful silence to claim his question had no answer.

At that point he got answers which the chairman did not like.

NOT heckling, and the unedited video confirms it.

and of course had the "heckler" not "heckled" his response the story would have been how this man twice asked for any reason -- ANY at all -- and no one in attendance could give one.

And no one did...

Of course they gave answers, you just don't AGREE with them.

MILLER: The gun-show loophole myth - Washington Times

Miller doesn't dispel the facts that private sellers can sell weapons at gun shows without running background checks. He merely takes the word of criminals as gospel...

Private sellers can sell guns privately anywhere, not just at gun shows.
Fail.

 

[nodoginnafight]

Private sellers can sell guns privately anywhere, not just at gun shows.

Doesn't matter WHERE the sales are occuring - EVERY gun sale should require a background check imho.

Clearly someone did -- the person who said 2nd amendment. its a very direct answer regardless of whether people agree with it or not. Is there any reason for these weapons was asked -- and the point was made that the reason is the exercise of constitutional rights by law abiding citizens who choose to own these things (FWIW i dont own a gun, never have , and have never even fired one) in their chosen pursuit of the god-given libeties that are enumerated in the bill of rights and that are supposed to be of the type that no government can take away regardless of the will of the majority or how big the majority may be. And of course that gets to the very core problem of the gun control advocastes -- their response to these event is to seek to restrict the rights of law abiding citizens.

But there was very definitely an answer given - even after he was shown respect with initial silence giving him the benefit of the doubt that his question may have been rhetorical -- and responding only after he showed his question was not rhetorical -- and tryin g inaapropriatley to take advantage of the respect he had been initially shown -- and tried to use the silence as proof that his point was correct.

So some people were trying to honestly answer the question, and some people were heckling.

That reminds me of an old saying. If you have 55 gallons of sewage and you add a gallon of milk, what do you have? Sewage. If you have 55 gallons of milk and you add one gallon of sewage, what do you have? Sewage.

If you believe so firmly in your position that your willing to heckle a guy who just lost his son, then do it. Just don't try to squirm out of it, when called on it. Have the courage to say: "Yeah, I heckled the guy because ... yada yada yada"

 

[Triton]

If the millions and millions of people who own semi-automatic rifles including AR-15s were as insane as the leftists and their media lapdogs claim them to be there would be far more than 350 murders a year (not all of which were committed with semi-automatic rifles)

If anything the gun grabbers should be looking to ban handguns as they are used to murder more Americans than rifles, have semi-automatic functioning, an dare far easier to conceal.


Oh wait, nevermind, they'll be next on the chopping block that's for sure because "we don't need them"

Just one? How about 33?

Gun Shows by State

A total of 11 states require background checks for at least some gun purchases at gun shows. Seven of those states require background checks for all gun purchases, while four states require background checks for only handgun purchases.

The seven states requiring background checks for all purchases include:

California
Colorado
Connecticut
Illinois
New York
Oregon
Rhode Island

The four states requiring background checks for only handgun purchases include:

Hawaii
Maryland
New Jersey
Pennsylvania

In Florida, private firearms purchases are subject to background checks in some jurisdictions but not across the entire state. There are no laws regulating private firearms sales at gun shows in the remaining 33 states.

The Bloomberg Investigation

In 2009, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, founder of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns group, stirred controversy and stimulated the gun show debate when NYC hired private investigators to target gun shows in Ohio, Nevada and Tennessee.

According to a report released by Bloomberg’s office, 22 of 33 private sellers sold guns to undercover investigators who informed them that they probably could not pass a background check, while 16 of 17 licensed sellers allowed straw purchases by the undercover investigators, a process through which a person prohibited from purchasing a firearm recruits someone to purchase the gun for them.

Oh the myth of gunshow selling.... Dumb ass you still have background check there.

For ALL sales?

All sales as in what?
Do you think private citizens go there to sell their gun? If they do it is to gun dealers.... .

Is it heckling to answer a direct question?

Fuck you,.... You dont get to tell me who I can sell my property to.. Damn fascist.

They would be loudly exclaiming that it doesn't take a handgun to kill a deer!

Which you loudly say...So what?

 

[martybegan]

Although I fully expect another spin job from you and not an honest response, I demonstrate how wrong you are.

You claim that "Heckling is interupting someone"

Not true. I saw myself how soldiers returning from Vietnam were heckled by anti-war protesters and they had not opened their mouths. What they endured is properly (imho) labeled as heckling.

You attach a different definition to heckling in order to clear those you agree with. That's called spin my friend.

Did the soldiers ask a question, pause, and then turn and face the audience?

Yet another false criteria. If a math teacher is writing a problem on the board and when she finished she turns to the class and asks: "Does anyone know the answer?" The students all shout back at her that math is stupid and everybody has calculators anyway being rude and vitriolic....

That's heckling the teacher.

In attempting to set criteria in a way that disqualifies the actions of your buddies - you are guilty of spin. Period.

Its not like a math question, its more like a social studies question. Its more like the teacher asking for the cause of civil war and a student replying "Slavery!", which is correct, but not what the teacher wanted to hear.

Try again, or nut up and admit you are wrong on this one.

Answering a man's REPEATED question is NOT heckling him, regardless of how much you may wish it to be.

It really is comical trying to see any way to put the people who responded to him in the wrong. I guess you have a personality flaw that does not allow you to admit when you are mistaken.

 

[saveliberty]

You can respect the man's grief, but disrespect his lack of understanding. Are any of you morons ready to say it was the first?

yes, they will proclaim this while ignorantly neglecting the fact that many people hunt with handguns.

Not that hunting is relevant to the right to keep and bear arms, but that has never stopped them

 

[Triton]

The tolerant open minded enlightened leftists won't admit they are wrong.

He wasn't heckled.

They just didn't like the answer given, that's all.

 

[Trajan]

Bunch of damned cowardly animals. They remind me of those Westboro idiots.

is there an apology forthcoming Goose? Or did I miss it?

 

[Triton]

Then, Piers Morgan has the nerve to have this completely distraught man come on his show to try to push his agenda.

He could barely articulate a sentence he was so grief stricken.

The left are completely out of their collectivist minds.
