like the Neo-Nazi that shot up the cops in PA would still get a gun somehow. Pieces of paper aren't going to stop that from occurring
He did already have guns - and quite a bit of ammunition stockpiled. Apparently his fear was that Obama's government was going to take his guns away. I think my reason for posting it was simply - as naive' as some may call me for thinking this way, I don't see how ANY of us are going to solve our current problems with a "big sticks inspire those with even bigger sticks" mentality. And of course, the ridiculous irresponsibility of the MSM spreading fear and incendiary "rumor mongering" without taking any responsibility or care in what the resulting consequences may be.
Oh don't get me wrong, I don't blame Glenn Beck, Fox Noise or any other irresponsible "reporter" for this young man's tragic actions directly - but ultimately it plays a part, doesn't it? But what angers me is that this is NOT about Glenn Beck's true feelings, nor Rush Limbaugh, nor Ann Coulter, or any other infamous/notorious pundit or reporter, etc. - this is about profiteering. It's all about profiteering. Anything goes and is judged successful in today's society IF it makes you profitable. Period. It is the ultimate justification for EVERYTHING we do. And the ultimate measuring tool by which we seem to measure everything.
Toss in the hypocrisy factor and its just - well, frankly - mind-numbing incredulity that best describes my reaction. Here's a link to another article on similar topic: Glenn Beck and The Consequences of Crazy Talk
