Thread: The "New" Gun Control ...

Left Taught How to Lie about Gun Control!

Posted on August 18 2013



The Left has been exposed for developing a “playbook” on what to say to manipulate emotions of all Americans when it comes to gun control! The anti-gun MANUAL developed and used by the Left shows how desperate the fight is to save our Second Amendment rights!

The manual is already out; and has been used by the President, on down. The publishers have their rights, so we cannot fax against them. But we can sure triple our efforts to COMBAT THIS LIE to every Member of the United States Congress!

We remember when President Obama’s White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel made the tell-all comment: “You never want a serious crisis go to waste.”

Taking cues from that outrageous statement, that is precisely what this 80-page manual does. It plays upon the fears of emotions of gun violence; and tells people, including the Obama administration, the Left, and the media exactly how to state the emotional situation so that patriotic Americans will FEAR weapons and possibly think twice about our freedom of owning a gun.

But not you. Not me!

“Preventing Gun Violence through Effective Messaging” is the blasphemous title of this manual. Not only does it advocate using horrifying shooting scenes to make their position, it is a step-by-step guide on how to bolster passion for victims, debase groups like the National Rifle Association, and keep the gun control dialogue moving along based totally on emotional fear, regardless of the facts, of course!

As reported by the Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner, the manual was prepared by four strategists including Al Quinlan of Washington, D.C.-based Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, who are committed to “progressive goals.” Among their leftist clients are: Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and Mayors Against Illegal Guns, as well as other left-leaning, anti-gun organizations.

It is a manual of specific “talking points” that have already been used by President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and others in the Administration.

James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal says: “Essentially it’s a how-to book on inciting a moral panic.”

It is based upon TOTAL MANIPULATION of the mind of all Americans.



Pro gun-control activists are told how to grab hold onto the emotions; from the manual itself: “Always start with the pain and anguish that gun violence brings into people’s lives. Use statistics to support an emotional argument, not to replace it.”

The manual goes into specific details on how to be victorious in an argument with those who are pro-gun:

“1. Always focus on emotional and value-driven arguments about gun violence

2. Tell stories with images and feelings

3. Claim moral authority

4. Emphasize that extraordinarily dangerous, military-style weapons are now within easy reach across America.”

Quite frankly, this manual is really sickening; just to know that the Left has a “manual” on how to manipulate, control and unjustly influence every American. Of course their bottom line is to turn patriotic Americans away from the freedoms that are guaranteed via the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

I guarantee this: Our founding fathers would not stand for this propaganda! However, since the media has used this manual to brainwash many Americans already, I do not know if Congress has the will or “stomach” to make us aware in a public outcry against such an untruthful “manual” that the Left is currently using.

Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner writes: “Clearly the president and other Democratic leaders followed the talking points. The talking points, for example, suggest phrases politicians should use [when] speaking about mass shootings, and at least three were adopted by the president in just one speech last March on gun violence.

“In fact, the woman introducing Obama for that speech, Katerina Rodgaard, followed the guide’s advice perfectly, beginning with the first key argument, the ‘personal toll’ of gun violence.

“‘I have been personally affected by gun violence. As the mother of a first-grader, I cannot even look at my own daughter without thinking about the poor, innocent victims at Sandy Hook. My heart breaks for them and their families and the families of the eight children every day who are killed by guns in this country.

“She then followed in order with the second key argument, the ‘right’ to be free from violence: ‘I feel that my rights to feel safe in this country and the rights of our children to feel safe in this country are paramount and worth fighting for.’”

Absolutely outrageous. Absolutely sickening.

Part of the manual reads: “The debate over gun violence in America is periodically punctuated by high-profile gun violence incidents including Columbine, Virginia Tech, Tucson, the Trayvon Martin killing, Aurora, and Oak Creek. When an incident such as these attracts sustained media attention, it creates a unique climate for our communications efforts. A high-profile gun violence incident temporarily draws more people into the conversation about gun violence. We should rely on emotionally powerful language, feelings and images to bring home the terrible impact of gun violence.”

The manual hones in on stirring up emotions, not relying on facts or engaging in substantive debate. In fact, the manual urges the American reader to debate on the emotional, instead of any pertinent facts.

For the most part, the 80-page manual avoids true facts, and has many outright lies in it, in the gun research arena, and therefore, those lies are continued by anti-gun advocates.

Jeff Know, director of the Firearms Coalition, responded: “That gun-control playbook is full of lies, with the biggest one being in the opening statement that they have the facts and logic on their side, but that we use emotion and money to advance our cause.

“The opposite is true and demonstrated by the suggestions in the book. They depend on emotion and fear, because reality does not support their position. Gun control doesn’t work. It never has. If it did, there would be ample evidence, but the only evidence they have is so weak and suspect, even anti-gun panels for the Centers for Disease Control and the Science Foundation couldn’t find any strong evidence of gun-control efficacy.”

Even though this manual was published months ago, just before Sandy Hook, it has gone relatively unnoticed (rather, “un-newsworthy”) by the mainstream media! What’s new? But the devil is in the details. The specifics of how to manipulate the emotions of Americans for gun control is sweeping! It espouses emphasizing emotional hot-buttons over rational discourse and informative debate.

Sources say: “The manual was produced, it appears, for the Seattle-based Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility (WAGR) before the Sandy Hook tragedy, but its advice tracks in every way with the approach employed by Democrats, including President Obama, during the disgraceful rush to exploit public horror over the shooting in an effort to pass strong anti-gun measures in the states and nationally.”


This manual has DECEPTION throughout. I can totally understand why the mainstream media ignored publicizing this manual as they will probably continue to use the unprincipled and manipulating “talking points” in their reports!

This manual is not only “newsworthy” but it is unscrupulously wrong!

Contrary to what this manual erroneously states, crime goes DOWN when gun ownership is UP!

There are many different areas of gun control that we fight, but this manual goes to the very core of the emotional agenda. It is a strategy completely embraced by the White House and our anti-gun President Obama and anti-gun Attorney General Eric Holder.

The good news: Teachers in Arkansas are being armed and Virginia gun crime plummets as firearm sales go through the roof, and much more.

The bad news: Obamacare dictates that doctors “spy” and collect information about guns from their patients and President Obama has threatened to sign the UN Small Arms Treaty while Congress is gone on vacation, etc. Then there is the manual!!

Obama Uses Executive Actions to Bypass Congress on Gun Control Again
by AWR Hawkins 29 Aug 2013, 1:17 PM PDT

On August 29, Vice President Joe Biden announced two new gun control measures implemented by President Obama via executive actions.

Fox News reports the measures target military surplus weapons and the method in which certain guns are registered in the United States.

Regarding military surplus weapons, the U.S. has allowed old weapons to be "sold or donated to U.S. allies, or to be reimported into the U.S. by private entities" for years. 250,000 such firearms have been reimported since 2005 alone, all of which have been "curio" or "relic" firearms that were 50-years old or older. But with Obama's executive action, such reimportation ends "except for museums and a few other entities like the government."

The second gun control measure addresses the ability of certain corporations or trusts to acquire and register firearms without a background check. These are often investment firearms, Class III and the like. But Obama says this must stop and from now on someone must go through a background check on behalf of the corporation or trust.

"Curio" or "relic" firearms are not wildly popular with criminals, and attempts to find a record of a trust going on a shooting spree were unsuccessful.

comments

Obama has used "executive action" more than ANY other president because as he said himself "Our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes." Duhhh... that was the POINT.

...

How does this "tyrant" continue to violate the constitution with impunity. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO INACT LAW - period. Only Congress has that power. Corruption has infiltrated every level of our federal government which is demonstrated by this insane lunatic unchecked in his use of "kingly" edicts.

Tops 10 Mass Shootings PREVENTED By Gun Owners

This is unbelievable, check it out http://cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/jeffre...ted-gun-owners

Wayne LaPierre, the CEO of the National Rifle Association said in 2012 that, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," and it looks like BuzzFeed has taken his sentiment to heart by compiling nine potential mass shootings stopped by someone with a gun. While Buzz Feed has its list of nine, we've added one of our own to make it an even ten: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=oPYu4Mu2dto



An unknown man in Oklahoma stopped a potential mass shooting when a Marine on leave visiting his father began firing at an apartment complex. The Marine, who apparently was upset about his military status, began firing indiscriminately in the area before the unidentified private citizen drew his gun and stopped the shooter before anyone was hurt.

Buzz Feed's list is as follows:

1. Assistant principal stops student from going at rampage by accessing gun from his truck.

2. Banquet hall owner confronted student with his shotgun after the student shot and killed a teacher at a middle school dance.

3. Two students at Appalachian School of Law obtained their guns from their cars after hearing shots and forced the shooter to drop his weapon.

4. A former police officer in Minnesota confronted a gunman at church, eventually causing the gunman to take his own life.

5. Off-duty cop in Salt Lake City, Utah stopped a shooter from killing more people in a public square by confronting him with his own gun until police could arrive.

6. Customer in a convenience store in Virginia shot and subdued a man with a gun who opened fire on the clerk and other patrons.

7. Off-duty cop stopped a man in New York who decided to shoot up an AT&T store. The cop, Donald J. Moore drew his gun on the shooter eventually killing him at the scene.

8. Nick Meli drew his gun at a mall in Oregon and confronted shooter who had killed 2 other people. Meli did not have to fire any shots as the shooter retreated when he saw the gun.

9. Lisa Castellano, an off-duty cop working security, shot Jesus Manuel Garcia at a San Antonio movie theater after the gunman opened fire and eventually began shooting at the San Antonio Police Department.

Looks like Wayne LaPierre may have been right after all.

The United States is ranked 3rd in Murders throughout the World.

But, if you remove just 4 cities from the statistics:

• Chicago
• Detroit
• Washington, DC
• New Orleans


The United States is then ranked 4th from the bottom in the entire world for Murders.

These 4 cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the United States and are run by Democrats.

Imagine that!

ThinkProgress posts deceptive picture to make gun rights activists appear threatening

What the liberal site posted with the description,
“40 armed gun advocates intimidate mothers against gun violence in a restaurant parking lot”…




But what was actually taking place…

Alabama family is irate Good Samaritan shot their son…
as he held a gun to an employee’s head during armed robbery
Posted by Bob Owens on November 21, 2013 at 10:53 am



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu-2J...layer_embedded

The family of a suspected thief is lashing out after their son was shot during an armed robbery. Relatives of Adric White, 18, believe the Good Samaritan who opened fire should have “just left the store.”

FOX10 spoke exclusively with a customer who stepped in to rescue employees held at gunpoint Tuesday, November 12.

The Good Samaritan, who we are not identifying, told FOX10 News he was shopping at the Family Dollar on Stanton road when he noticed a masked gunman leading one of the employees to the front of the store.

“He had the gun to his head. He had him on his knees,” said the man. “I drew my gun on him and I said ‘Hey don’t move.’ At that point he swung around and before he had a chance to aim the gun at me I fired. I didn’t want to shoot him.”

White was transported to USA Medical Center, where he remains in police custody.

A family member who did not want to be identified said White should have never been shot to begin with.

“If his (the customer) life was not in danger, if no one had a gun up to him, if no one pointed a gun at him – what gives him the right to think that it’s okay to just shoot someone?” said the relative. “You should have just left the store and went wherever you had to go in your car or whatever.”

The thug’s degenerate family blames the man who shot their son, their son’s friends—everybody but their two-time loser son, who was out on bond for a prior robbery when he was shot by the shopper, an act that perhaps saving the employee’s life.

If I were a friend or family member of Adric White, I’d have the good sense to be ashamed of him—or at least shut up about his criminality—but White’s family isn’t apparently that smart.

As for the Samaritan, I’d like to shake his hand for risking his life to save others.

http://bearingarms.com/alabama-famil...armed-robbery/

They are mad that someone prevented their family member from possibly killing someone? What is wrong with people? This kid has a past of robbery now that he had been shot maybe he will think twice before robbing someone else. He is lucky he wasn't killed. His family is probably one of the reasons he thinks its okay to rob in the first place, I can't believe they think the guy should have just let him rob someone at gun point. What a bunch of idiots!

..

it's the trayvon mentality

..

The Samaritan must also have been black ... or they would also be screaming about "racism" ....

DOJ internal memo confirms Obama plan for gun confiscation

An internal memo within the Department of Justice (DOJ) has surfaced which confirms that the Obama administration had plans for gun registration and confiscation in the aftermath of the Newtown school shooting.

According to Bob Owens, the NRA obtained the memo in February. But apparently there were questions as to the veracity of the information. Owens says that the existence of the memo, and its outline of a plan for gun registration and confiscation, can now be confirmed.
http://bearingarms.com/yes-an-obama-...-registration/

The document, which can be viewed here, was not released to the public via the news media. http://static.infowars.com/2013/02/i...olicy-memo.pdf

Owens cites an analysis of the memo, including direct quotes from the document, which exposes the Obama administration's real agenda on guns:

“The DOJ memo states the administration “believes that a gun ban will not work without mandatory gun confiscation,” according to the NRA, and thinks universal background checks “won’t work without requiring national gun registration.” Obama has yet to publicly support national registration or firearms confiscation, although the memo reveals his administration is moving in that direction.”

Thus, despite the many denials by Obama, by members of his administration, and by Congressional Democrats, once again it has become clear that the administration's true agenda is very different from that which is presented to the public.

The goal is and always has been gun registration and confiscation.

The Examiner has often reported the Obama agenda on guns, which can be traced all the way back to his years in the Illinois legislature. He was considered among the most aggressive anti-gun advocates in Illinois.

Obama voted to criminalize any homeowner who used an illegal firearm to defend himself and/or his family in the event of a home invasion by dangerous criminals.

The philosophy that underlies such a point of view is clear. To Obama it is more important that a gun be "legal" than for human lives to be saved. This stance portrays a shocking disregard for the sanctity of human life.

Thus, many conservatives warned as far back as 2007 that an Obama candidacy for the presidency would be a very dangerous turn for America. Obama would never tell the public just how radical he is. To do so would end his political career.

This is why Obama denied repeatedly that he had been close friends with murderous homegrown terrorists such as Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn. The couple bombed federal buildings, encouraged teenagers to murder their parents, and were arrested for the murder of a police officer but were released on a technicality.

It turns out that Ayers launched Obama's political career in his living room -- all confirmed as fact. Birds of a feather. And the Obama agenda reflects it.

But like so many other components of the Obama agenda, the public only finds out the real truth once the program is actually implemented. It is only then that it becomes clear that the emperor has no clothes. Only then it is too late.

Fortunately for the populace, enough conservatives, libertarians, and other freedom-loving citizens were on to the Obama gun ban agenda long before it became an issue. Nationally his agenda was thus thwarted. But astute citizens are certain that this is not the end of it.

The forces of tyranny never give up.
