Somebody give Karen Rubin some Preparation-H, Ms. Nazi is experiencing butthurt over a mixed crowd at gun control forum.
The greater Great Neck area got a bit of a shock during the recent Reach Out America Gun Reform forum held at Saddle Rock School.
The forum was practically overrun with staunch gun rights advocates – Oath Keepers they call themselves – who did their best to take over and dominate the meeting.

I know, right? We’re EVERYWHERE. How does the chant go? We’re Here, We’re Armed, We’ll Drive you Mad.
OK, I suck at chants, but you get my drift.
You know what I noticed? Not a single one of the Oath Keepers dared show any compassion whatsoever for the victims of gun violence – not the Newtown children, brutally murdered exactly one year ago, represented on stage by Rabbi Shaul Praver of Congregation Adath Israel of Newtown, who had to console a family whose child was murdered that day.
You know what I notice? Not a single gun hater ever celebrates the woman who shoots her rapist, the store owner who shoots the burglar, the teenage son that defends his family from a home invader. So kiss my ass, Rubin. We’re the ones who stand for freedom.
But what I couldn’t figure out is why these people, who claim that only good guys get guns and you need more good guys with guns, wouldn’t support universal background checks (essentially an expansion to close loopholes that presently leave 40 percent of guns purchased without checks), when they already support existing background checks?
I tell you why, because it’s a lie. There’s no universal cocaine checks, universal crack checks, universal stolen weapons checks. Background checks imply that criminals give up when they fail to pass them, they certainly do not. As for loopholes, there will always be loopholes you dumb Nazi. You close one loophole, ten more appear. Want to do something about crime? Then start arresting FELONS that fail a background check when they go to the gun store. Laws without enforcement are stupid.
The Oath Keepers were completely unmoved, though by the facts presented by Amy Wright of Mayors Against Illegal Guns that the legislation explicitly and categorically prohibited a federal registration (a felony) or confiscation. But they dismiss this, ignore it, obfuscate or simply lie – not unlike the style of attacks (“death panels”!) that have been attached to Obamacare.
Ha! Trusting MAIG on guns is like trusting the Klan on African-American issues.
The Gun Rights No Matter What folks are also shape shifters, skilled at contorting to dodge a question, deflect and divert.
For example, instead of addressing the easy access to military-grade weapons meant for the battlefield and ammo clips of 30, 50 and even 100 rounds by deranged individuals, criminals and terrorists, they shift the focus to the woeful inadequacy of mental health, yet the same gun violence advocates are the ones who block health care reform – Obamacare as a subjugation of freedom – that puts mental health in parity with other health care.
Lady, ALL WEAPONS have been used in the battlefield at some point of another. Ever heard of a service revolver? But let’s address the issue, are you good at math? 3 magazines with 10 rounds equal one magazine with 30 rounds. See? Your gun control will stop NOTHING. As for Obamacare, that has nothing to do with mental health. You want reform? Then make it easier to put a loony in the loony bin, that’s far more productive than treating everyone like they’re a crazy dangerous killer waiting to snap.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, In an interview with John Hockenberry of NPR’s “The Takeaway” (Sept. 16, 2013), said, “.. the Second Amendment is outdated in the sense that its function has become obsolete. ..When the nation was new, it gave a qualified right to keep and bear arms but it was for one purpose only, and that was the purpose of having militiamen who were able to fight to preserve the nation.”
How convenient, you quote from a woman that hates America, a woman that told foreigners that the South African constitution is better than our constitution. Why not quote Scalia and Thomas? Why not quote the founding father’s?
