Dan, will you be on the Piers Morgan show? If so, will you tow the same line as you did on Fox?

Also, did you jump on Arfcom direct from the Fox headquarters???

I have corrosponded with him. He has hinted at storage requirements but is more pro-gun then I would ever suspect a New Yorker columnist of being. He wrote a book a few years ago endorsed by Ayoob will read it next.

Here is an interview with Dan Baum posted today. I  think he is about as pro-gun as a self identified democrat can be.

http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/03/what-liberals-need-to-understand-about-gun-guys/273736/

What do you think Democrats should know about the average gun guy?
I think they should know how much self-esteem gun guys derive from their guns, how patriotic they feel. And lawmakers need to stop thinking that the NRA represents gun owners, because only 4 percent of gun owners belong to the NRA. They need to think of gun owners as rational responsible people who genuinely care about gun violence and would like to be helpful.

These are precisely the kind of people the Democratic Party says it exists to serve. Over and over, people I met on my trip would say, "I don't get it. Democrats are the party of the working man. How can the Democrats do this?" They feel so alienated that they won't listen to the Democrats on climate change or health care or immigration or anything else. As a Democrat, it broke my heart to hear this over and over and over again. These are our guys. These are our people, and they hate us. We take this anti-gun position and we're giving these people away, and we're getting nothing in exchange. We are not making the country safer.

he is.  and though he's an arch-liberal on most political topics, he's very pro-gun.  

 






i gave phone, email, and in-person interviews for the book, mostly dealing with the preparedness aspect.  i was originally somewhat suspicious, but came away from it comfortable that he was representing himself honestly.  disappointingly, my stuff wasn't included.







he was...uncharitable...towards arfcom, which is completely understandable given his treatment by the membership here.

In my opinion he talks out both sides of his mouth. But the beauty of this is that he gets to be the go to liberal gun guy who gets interviewed by all the other liberal reporters.

So he's making an implication that if your a gun owning NRA member then you may not be a rational gun owner, but instead a knuckle dragging non thinking man's gun owner who dosen't care about gun violence , or the children ?

I've heard it said, if the Democratic party would embrace the Second Amendment, they would never lose another election. I don't know how true that is, but seeing dumbo elected twice in a row, it can't be too far off the mark.

He is no friend of Republicans, his biggest complaint isn't about the democrats infringing on individual rights, it's that the DNC is driving away potential voters.

Fuck him. His lifetime of voting for legislators who, more likely than not, want to see me disarmed and at their mercy qualifies as "bad manners" too. He IS an idiot, a fool, a democrat.

 



What makes any of you think he is pro-gun? His position in the above quote wasn't about protecting gun rights, it was about convincing more voters to come to the Democrat side by adopting a softer approach on the gun issue. That is "genuine" to you?




Fuck him and all his left wing buddies.

More his demeanor than anything else.  Within 2 posts I was wondering "Who the fuck is this guy?"



I think he may have assumed that GD was a bunch of half-literate rednecks, which wouldn't be totally false on some days, but he then proceeded to incorrectly assume that we wouldn't immediately sniff him out for "not one of us" and clue in to the fact that we were being data-mined.
