Gun Nuts Don’t Need The NRA Anymore

The NRA as an organization is in decline, but it doesn’t matter. The Republican base IS the NRA now.

A Military Takeover, The End Of Democracy

The GOP is killing democracy one day at a time.

Let’s talk about teachers, old ideas, and new dynamics….

This is a new video updating the one I posted earlier about arming teachers.    As he says the very teachers you don’t trust with rainbow stickers and to teach the history of racism while you claim they are grooming your kids with LGBTQ+ something … You are now demanding they have guns to handle what armed police can’t.      Please watch to see him again shatter the right-wing talking point, again.  Hugs

Let’s talk about armed teachers….

This is from three years ago.   He describes all the reasons arming teachers is not going to work.  He details all the reasons that it is set up for failure.  The video is a great answer to the Republicans that want more guns in schools.    Hugs

Texas Paul REACTS to Lauren Boebert’s Dumbest Statement Yet

Benham Brothers: Only Jesus Can Stop Mass Shootings

The Benham brothers write on Facebook:

There’s not enough “gun laws” on earth to turn a young man from a predator to a protector. But there is a King, whose name is Jesus, that can step into the heart of a man and change him from the inside out. Unfortunately, we don’t want this King.

Our nation glorifies everything that stands against King Jesus and His Kingdom fruit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. As a result, we’re losing our young men and have lost the soul of our nation.

The radical Left says it’s all about the guns – but it’s the heart that holds the gun! A gun in the hand of a good man brings peace and protection, but a gun in the hand of a bad man brings pain and destruction. Our nation has a heart problem – not a gun problem.

Exalt Jesus once again. Teach our young men to deny themselves, become men of God, and fight against evil instead of perpetrate it. Our boys need to be called up to something much higher than video games, binge shows, and porn! There’s so much more…in Christ.

Let’s do our part as we grieve with the families in TX today. Let’s look at our own kids, our sphere of influence, our churches and schools…and let’s call these young men to lay down their lives, bow to Jesus, and pick up His cross and follow Him. Until then, this path of destruction will never stop.

Longtime JMG readers will recall that the Benham brothers were once regulars here, starting in 2014 when they lost their planned HGTV show after activists informed the network about their history of anti-Muslim and anti-LGBTQ activism, which included annual attempts to force the cancellation of Charlotte Pride.

The pair last appeared here in 2017 when they declared that God murders people with hurricanes in order to force America to repent for “satanic” same-sex marriage (and homosexuality in general).

Their father is notorious anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ activist Flip Benham, who has been convicted multiple times for stalking and threats.

When his sons lost their HGTV show, he declared that the network’s acronym stands for “Homosexual Garbage Television” and that gays are the “most violent community” in the nation and that they want all Christians dead.

Senate Skips Town Without Taking Action | 100+ GOP Midterm Ads Feature Guns

Senators McConnell and Schumer opted not to consider any gun violence solutions before letting the Senate leave for a two week break, and Republicans who are concerned with violence on TV need look no further than their own campaign ads.

U.S. Gun Culture Wasn’t Always Like This | The Mehdi Hasan Show

In today’s America, everyone carrying guns everywhere is seen as a hallmark of our exceptional liberty. But it wasn’t always like this, even for conservatives. Author and law professor Adam Winkler joins Mehdi to discuss how we fight this hardline, far-right gun culture that’s left generations of schoolchildren in America traumatized and unsafe.

Lara Trump Blames School Shootings On Lack Of Jesus

“It’s a horrific situation, but yes, they always jump to gun control. But 50 years ago, we had much more lax gun laws than we have now. We had actually more guns per family than we do now per household. And so what changed? Why all of a sudden, Sean, in the past couple decades have we seen a rise in this? And you have to ask yourself that, that’s what any rational person would do.

“And you look across the board at things like the fact that, you know, we have the dissolution of the family in so many respects. We have fatherless children on the rise in America. We have the loss of religion in so many aspects of our country, where it was a foundation of our country at one time. You can’t discount the rise of social media and the role that that has played in things like this.” – Lara Trump.

This is why many people reject organized religion.
No one in the Trump family is remotely religious – and they are as far away from Xtian values as you can get. Babies in cages? Stealing from charities! Hello! But here they are, wrapping themselves in their religious cloaks to tell the rest of use how to live. Abominable hypocrites! So slappable! 😡

More simply, if these assholes honestly believed that our society is chock full of evil, atheistic, violent, game-addicted psychos, why do they also insist that these psychos must be able to legally carry assault weapons?

As usual, taking their nonsense at face value actually makes their argument look even dumber.

So many lies. Families and households are not statistically interchangeable; we’ve always had more guns per family than per household and we always will. The guns we have available have changed over 50 years. Out of wedlock births have been dropping for the last 30 years; fatherless children are not “on the rise”. And religion was nowhere a foundation of this country.

And gun control was not more lax 50 years ago. In fact, after the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations it increased. Reagan signed a new gun control law in California for fear of the Black Panther movement.

After last year’s Texas Lege session, I’m not sure you can characterize Texas, the location of the latest mass shooting, as having ANY gun control.

It looks like the gun fetishers have realized that their usual mantras (like Jesus will save us) aren’t working and have moved on to blatantly lying about recent history as well as implementing more than a dash of whataboutism.

Tacticly, she made a grave mistake in using a 50 year time frame as quite a few of us from that era are still alive, coherent, and not rabid rightwingers. OK Boomer this one assholes!

Lack of Jesus? Seriously? In a mostly Hispanic area, a lack of Jesus? The very definition of your deity says He just sat back and let this happen to innocent children, you stupid cunt.

Two weeks ago Republicans were screaming, “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE INNOCENT CHILDREN” when the Supreme Court protected blastocysts. This week, after 19 children were slaughtered, they’re screaming, “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE INNOCENT GUNS!”

Jesus was like the cops in Uvalde.. he sat back and did nothing.
