A CNN Article on The NRA Convention
I think a very well written article for a CNN reporter. She went in with an open mind given her background one would think the other. Chris

Given the source, I was surprised how open minded the author was. On a certain level, I think she truly gets it, but is probably very afraid to admit it fully.

Very open minded and actually had some thought behind it. And she didn't just go pick out the biggest yahoo gun nut idiot in the place and get a sound byte. Not a bad article from an admitted anti

"Self-protection, I discover, is a huge reason many Americans own firearms."

Uh huh. Yes, she is so open-minded that not even basic concepts can find safe harbor in her cranium. I guess basic shit just keeps dribbling out of her head, huh? Last week, she forgot the purpose of toothpaste. She found a tube of it in her bathroom and had to venture to a Dentists Convention to ask the doctors questions in her oh so probing and curious manner.

"Cavity protection, I discover, is a huge reason for the use of toothpaste."

Give me a break. She had to go to the NRA convention to find out the most basic precepts of gun ownership. Really? Are you guys buying that? An adult? A "reporter"? And it just now dawned on her in a flash that people want guns for self-protection? Roll Eyes

Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass what she "understands" about the Second Amendment, because my rights are not granted to me via her fucking "understanding".

Understand, don't understand- I don't give a shit, lady. If Hillary Clinton had slithered her way into the White House, this would have been just another leftist hit piece. But, Trump got in and has publicly and repeatedly called out CNN specifically as being obscenely biased, so we get this "look at how open-minded we are" crap which is nothing more than a smoke screen. CNN and its audience are completely against the Second Amendment and they'd disarm you in a heartbeat if they could and you know it. Do not be taken in by their crap.

Again, I think of colonialism in my homeland and how the British passed strict gun control to keep Indians from rising up.

Maybe this was the moment the light bulb switched on for her.

Really enjoyed the comments she got from the convention goers she interviewed.

And although I agree with PARA that neither this woman nor the company she works for will ever support the 2A, it is a bit surprising that CNN even let this piece as written see the light of day, given what we've seen out of the them over the past decade.

I happen to know this journalist. She is a ethnic Bengali person. So, in typical Indian fashion, she is just frightened of guns, and the concept of armed self defence is something she is incapable of wrapping around her brain.
Most people of Indian ethnicity living in the USA, suffer from an totally irrational fear of guns and knives. Most of them vote for Democrats, not because they believe in the Democrats leftist policies, but because Indians think the Democrats will ban all guns and make life safe for Indians.


If you think you can, YOU WILL!!!!!

That's what I thought when I read it. It read like an under-the-radar pro-gun piece, really.

I just don't trust a single thing leftists say on the subject of the Second Amendment.

Looked at your reference. It looked like an article from The Onion. The pictures were ridiculous. Is this really legit?? Perhaps I am just culturally unaware when it comes to Indian subcultures and practices.

Exactly! They just throw us bone, pretending to be open-minded and objective, but we all know their ultimate goal.

People don't always own guns for crime, murder and mayhem? That's not what we've been told all these years, I'm confused.

Trumps speech with the poem about the snake last night comes to mind, although I know that was not what he was referring to.

Oh shut up, silly woman.
