Brady Bunch IN INDIANAPOLIS on Saturday

[K_W]

I expected young radical liberals and got scared and apparently indoctrinated old folks. Strange!

Same here.

 

[K_W]

I have the VCR set to record the segment on the news, and I will upload it to YouTube.

 

[NewsShooter]

who was the reporter for 13 that interviewed you?

 

[wag1911]

and judging by their questions, they were more concerned with violence and suicide

One thing I failed to mention in that forum, was the fact that Japan has a very low rate of gun ownership, yet has one of, if not the highest suicide rate on the planet.

 

[Boilers]

well, they've had a past history that's a little on the crazy side of suicide, doncha think? They might even have a patent on it.

 

[K_W]

Since we just met the guy... look what I just found...

Complaints over gun law follow Obama on tour - Travel- msnbc.com

"There is still time for Congress and the president to take steps to keep loaded firearms away from the valleys of Yellowstone, the cliffs of Yosemite, and the Statue of Liberty — but they need to act quickly," said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

 

[Boilers]

I tried to understand... which 'guy' you talking about?

 

[Roadie]

I tried to understand... which 'guy' you talking about?

I am assuming Paul Helmke, the speaker from today's event.

 

[SavageEagle]

Yes. I dare not speak his name in fear I might skyrocket my blood pressure...

 

[Boilers]

Ok. Looked at the guy. Is he a clone of George Soros or what?

Japan's suicide rate is higher than our suicide and homicide rates combined. Since suicide counts as "violent death" that means that Japanese people, in Japan, are more likely to suffer a violent death than Americans in America.

Just more grist for the mill.

 

[NewsShooter]

Just got home! I actually went in and listened and asked questions.

First, let me say that channel 13, 11pm, you'll see my not so smiling face on the tube. I'm VERY sorry if I sounded stupid, I've never been on TV before. I'm the guy in the Blue NRA shirt. I hope I don't sound stupid. I really really really hope I don't sound stupid.

don't worry too much. they'll only take 7 or 8 seconds (one thought) from your entire interview. but, depending on the reporter - it'll either be the smartest or dumbest thing you could have said.

 

[Boilers]

dibs on which one it will be.

 

[LPMan59]

nbc's coverage was non-existent

 

[K_W]

Just saw it... They cut off part of what I was saying.

Uploading to YouTube momentarily.

 

[Roadie]

OK, who was the guy they interviewed? Which one of ya did they cut off at the end of the piece?

(at least they used a GREAT gun for the intro picture to the piece, lol)

to me...the context they showed you in was saying that 'guns are dangerous'. im not surprised, at all.

Nice editing eh? They cut you off mid sentence! Thanks for standing up for all of us though! Rep!

 

[esrice]

They called him "Mark" Helmke, lol!

Well done K_Watson!

 

[K_W]

Thanks. Video is uploading. I just wish they hadn't cut me off and I wish they showed more of us. I don't like hogging the spotlight. I wasn't even planning to be on camera.

Interesting camera angle though.
