During a segment on Fridays Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull program, CNN tried to perpetuate left-wing stereotypes about gun owners, and sent mixed messages about whether or not President Obama and his administration is pushing for gun control.

Besides interviewing the lawyer and the nurse, he visited a local gun store, where he skeptically asked one of the employees of the store, Why would someone own a semiautomatic weapon like this? I mean, is saying its my right, is that enough?

The full transcript of the segment, which began 40 minutes into the 8 pm Eastern hour of Fridays Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull program:

Once again the Liberal side of CNN reports Half the news.Along with Half the Truth.

Two points:
1) It ain't paranoia if they really ARE out to get you.
2) Whatever Mbomo says - he does the opposite. When he says "I won't take your guns away" that's what he has in mind. It's watch what I say, not what I do.

No bias, no bull program? He's kidding, right? Bias and bull seem to be the main ingredients of Brown's show.

He just said I'm like Timothy McVeigh. He just equaled the Militias with Terrorists. Or, should I say, 'man-caused disaster' operators, in the 'Overseas Contingency Operation'. No bias, no bull. Yeah right!

Call me a nut if you want to, but this is the road that we are on. Gun owners equated with terrorists, political dissent equated with criminal behavior, and criticizing obama's POLICIES is racism!! It's just the beginning folks....get ready!!!

I have a 30-round AR-15 magazine I bought used at a gun show. It had a homemade mag-pull with lots of 100-mile-an-hour tape. When I took the tape off, I saw "Law Enforcement and Military Use Only." Merely possessing it when the "AW" ban was in effect was a felony. It is identical in every way to my always-legal mags, just made after the AW ban started.
Paranoid?
You don't have to wait until you're up to your neck to know you're being shat upon.

Just some "common sense gun control", We don't want to take gun owners guns away. I will believe what Obama says when his actions match his retoric. He has tried too much garbage, sometimes through suragates, to trust anything he says. When the yo-yo's in DC finally try to settle into some gun control they think will fly, that becomes the time to push back. I think everybody knows where that goes. As I've said, I have already accepted I'll be among the first to be killed, for several reasons, suicide by putting a bullet to the back of my head, car accident, freak poisoning, something strange...

When Eric Holder says that we need to reinstitute the AWB for the sake of our brown brethren below the border, is that being paranoid? When Hillary Clinton states the same, is that being paranoid? When you look at Obama's track record with respect to guns an find him on par with Joseph Stalin, is that being paranoid? If it looks like a skunk and smells like a skunk, it might be a skunk.

yeah and Michelle Obama is hitting the Skids with
Oprah WinFREEEEY, again I see to promote her new book? (Already? Gee it's only April?)

Obamas NEW LIFE! << The Books Tiltle

I remember back when the militia movement was telling people that the Fed was going to Bankrupt the country and merge Mexico, US and Canada.

Boy was those guys paranoid!

One thing Ive noticed about a lot of this so-called paranoia, if you give it a little time it often becomes true!

P.S. paranoia is considered mental illness, but is it still considered paranoia/mental illness if it becomes true?

Comment by: Tim (3/31/2009)

Has anyone heard that TOMORROW or after Midnight tonight?
The US Government wants everyone off the Internet and to stay off ALL Day.
Has something to do with the , "Conficker worm",
That is screwing up Internet Business and Government security in Computers.

They have found that this Hacker can actuall watch your screen and watch what you type after the worm has infected your computer.
EVERYTHING in your computer is accessible to the Hacker.
It's caused a Big Up roar in the credit card business, with HUGE losses. (Unreported no doubt)

What kind of concerns me is....
A lot can happen in 24hrs. without the Internet for communications/ Information sharing, country wise!
They say it, (The Internet) may even go down totally.

Good riddance.

I note Toobin kept saying the Obama regime doesn't want the AWB, "RIGHT NOW" (my emphasis).

But, sometime in the near future...
