PBS right now

They have a show on regarding the scary gun. I'm in St. Cloud, so don't know if it's the same in the twin cities.

The show is called Faith and Guns.

Now they are saying that God does not advocate guns. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Armoroflight is on now in the cities

meet two Christians - an evangelical anti-abortion activist and an African-American mother whose son was murdered - who find common ground in the fight against the rising tide of gun violence

This is tough to watch, but worth watching.

These people are the same people that hate freedoms.

Some nut case melted down an ak47 and turned it into a hoe. The moderator said it's also very scary looking.

Well a guy built an AK from a shovel so it all evens out in the end.

I thought you were talking about this:

Independent Lens - Armed in America
Tune-in for a special two night event examining gun violence in the United States. Watch two new documentaries - Peace Officer and The Armor of Light - each followed by special town hall discussions hosted by NPR's Michel Martin.

Peace Officer
Follow one man's crusade to examine the effects of a militarized police force. William "Dub" Lawrence was a former sheriff who established and trained one of Utah's first SWAT teams, only to watch in horror as that same unit killed his son-in-law in a controversial standoff years later.
Monday, May 9, 8 p.m.

Armor of Light
Follow the journey of Evangelical minister Rob Schenck, who is trying to find the courage to preach about the growing toll of gun violence in America, and Lucy McBath, the mother of an unarmed teenager who was murdered in Florida and whose story cast a spotlight on the state's "Stand Your Ground" laws.
Tuesday, May 10, 7 p.m.
"...the liberties of the American people were dependent upon the ballot-box, the jury-box, and the cartridge-box; that without these no class of people could live and flourish in this country..." ---Frederick Douglass

The propaganda machine is busy changing attitudes. They will frame the debate and they will win the same way they always do.

The Anti's put together PBS specials and conjure news pieces and the Pro Gun Crowd has to deal with AK 47 boy in St Cloud. Perception is reality in the world of public opinion. Start thinking about how best to craft a unified message that shows your side in the best light possible.

I try to wear my cleanest 'Kill-em-all--let God-sort-em-out' t shirt under my tacticool vest when open carrying my AR in Starbucks. ...get a lot of compliments about the nobility of standing up for my rights...

Seems to be a good counter to the PBS BS.

Could you wear your Brady Campaign T-Shirt instead when you do this?

I watched most of "Armor of Light" and thought it was interesting and worth watching.
