NBC´s Gregory Mocks NRA
Security Guard Idea But Sends
Own Kids to Guarded School

Breitbart´s Big Journalism, by Warner Todd Huston

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 12/24/2012 10:08:47 AM

On NBC´s Meet The Press over the weekend, David Gregory was quite confrontational with the Vice President of the National Rifle Association over the organization´s idea of putting armed security guards in every school in America. But even as Gregory mocked the NRA for the idea, he seems to see nothing wrong with sending his own kids to a school that has armed security guards each school day. Introducing the NRA´s security guard proposal, Gregory confronted NRA VP Wayne LaPierre saying, "You blamed Hollywood and the gaming industry. But never once did you concede

Wow, couldn´t see that coming. I assumed David´s kids all went to DC public schools and were above average.......Yuck, yuck. My New Years wish is to knock the smirk right off his face.

So, why are armed guards good for the President, Mayor Emanuel, and NBC’s David Gregory, but not the rest of us?

Because they are special snowflakes. /s

It would be a good article to publish the names of the "Elites" in our society who send their kids to schools with armed security guarding them- I could put that listing together myself just on conjecture- but, that would not be very journo.

The condescending, rude and insulting Mr. Gregory is a prime example of why NBC Universal Media, LLC is now considered, by multitudes across the fruited plain, as an official enemy of "truth, justice and the American Way."

It pays to read what Mr. LaPierre really said in his press conference. He called for police in schools, the armed guards are until that could be done.

The media will never accurately report what´s said if it doesn´t fit their biases.

Not only does the French speaking David Gregory send his kids to a private, guarded school, but HE has security every step of the way at his Network---try to walk into THAT building without various checks by guys with guns. Like so many of the high and mighty, or even the low (Roseanne Barr), THESE PEOPLE lived in a bubble and are clueless. Disgusting....and he believes every word he says, by the way.

The NRA needs to come out and use reverse psychology on the left. Announce that all schools that currently use armed guard should disarm immediately and watch the left go nuts.

What is surprising about a liberal demanding that others do as he says, not as he does. In every area of life, from schools for their children, to their own private residences, to their armed guards and personal firearms, to the vehicles they drive, to their private fortunes and (lack of) charitable contributions, to their condemnation of everyone else as being “racist”, sexist and homophobic etc., to their never ending accusation that everyone but themselves is a “hypocrite”, Liberals are a transparent as the emperor with no clothing.

It´s like the state controlled media does NOT
care about the public schools protecting their students.
His selfish concerns are about his children

Don´t like being called "stupid American´s"
then STOP listening to the god forsaken state controlled media and don´t let them make fun of you for wanting to protecting your children and then turn around and keep it a secret that their children attend a school with armed guards while yours are in schools with no armed guards and are standing in harms way!!

They don´t just have one security guard at the high end private school in D.C., but reportedly have eleven security guards plus a secret service detail there.

Just another instance of a liberal mouthpiece pushing what amounts to a double standard to a very low information population.

Too bad that the NRA did not do their homework, as if they did they could have literally blown Gregory away on national TV for everyone to see.

Once Gregory had mocked the NRA school security guard idea, LaPierre could have come back with the following facts, Gregory´s kids attend a high end private school in D.C., where the tuition is $33,000.00 per student per year, and that the school has up to eleven police officers who work at that school as security guards, armed no doubt, along with the fact that there is also a US Secret Service detail at that school as Obama´s two daughters also attend that school. Obviously Gregory, a liberal mouthpiece was pushing a big time double standard, and the NRA could have brought that fact to the nations attention.

That seems to be the typical mindset of so many on the left..."Do as I say, not as I do." It´s laughable and ridiculous. All these high and mighty people have the means to see they are well protected - whether in Hollywood or DC. We mere mortals have to rely on our various law enforcement agencies to come to our rescue when we are threatened. I guess we really aren´t important enough to possess the means to be able to protect ourselves in our own homes. What arrogant people they are.

President Obama kicked off the week in Connecticut with a rallying cry for new gun control measures hand-in-hand with Sandy Hook parents. This afternoon, Obama sat down in the Oval Office with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel — who, with a military, civilian, and contractor work force on edge about their jobs, is tasked with unveiling what could be a punishing presidential budget for the Pentagon tomorrow. Over at the Senate tonight, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed cloture on the motion to proceed to the gun-control package, which means

President Obama will unveil his 2014 spending plan Wednesday, 65 days late and several trillion dollars short, by Republican standards, of effectively reining in the national debt. But the more relevant fact about the White House budget may be the yawning political void into which it is about to fall on Capitol Hill. Administration officials say their plan offers a path to compromise, a centrist course that avoids the extreme spending cuts of the House Republican budget as well as the $1 trillion tax hike endorsed last month by Senate Democrats. The president’s proposal contains the same set of policies

There’s a Texas Republican who vocally stated that he supported background checks to keep guns away from those who shouldn’t have them. And an assault weapons ban. Don’t believe it? Former President George W. Bush said he supported background checks during the 2000 and 2004 presidential debates. Check out the video proof posted by Buzzfeed. “I believe law abiding citizens ought to be able to own a gun,” he said during a 2004 presidential debate against Democratic challenger John Kerry. “I believe in background checks, at gun shows, or anywhere to make sure

What Does Obama Think

It seems very odd that President Obama has made gun control the signature issue of his second term, so far. He can’t possibly achieve any significant legislation; a few tweaks to the background check system, maybe, but there is no chance of getting any meaningful gun control through the House. The House Democrats aren’t even trying. So it also seems strange that all eyes are on the Senate, where Harry Reid will unveil some sort of gun legislation–no one knows what, exactly–on Thursday. The party’s left-wing base is lining up behind the bill, sight unseen.

Police Poll: Armed Citizens,

Posted By: Dreadnought- 4/9/2013 9:07:40 PM     Post Reply
In a poll conducted by PoliceOne, a majority of law enforcement personnel said universal background checks, "assault weapons" bans, and "high capacity" magazine bans do not make police safer and will not lower violent crime. Armed citizens, on the other hand, do make a positive difference. In the poll of 15,000 law enforcement professionals, 71% of respondents said an "assault weapons" ban would have zero impact on violent crime. Of those surveyed, 95.7% said the same of a "high capacity" magazine ban, and 79.7% said the same in response to a question on universal background checks.

Margaret Thatcher captured Americans’ hearts and minds in a way few other foreign leaders have done, and much of that was because of the symbiotic relationship she had with President Reagan — a relationship that in many ways mirrored the storied “special” friendship between the two countries. Mrs. Thatcher, who died Monday at age 87, was a tough-talking maverick who was bullish on the promise of the U.S. as a force on the international stage. Those traits appealed to Americans weary of the 1970s malaise and eager to hear reasons to believe in themselves. “She had the perfect balance between
