Gun Lobbyist Manufactures Hype

This is one terrifying Christmas card. It’s the card that John Michael Snyder, public affairs director of (My First Website ahead) the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms sent out this holiday season:

The card presents Santa guarding a group of small children from a bomb-harnessed suicide killer. The bomber appears ready to cast a stick of dynamite at an image of the Infant Jesus beneath a decorated Christmas tree.

That quote and link come from the press release that Snyder sent out about his Christmas card. Snyder had a sensationalist Christmas card made, and then notified the media that he was sending it out. And I imagine he’ll be fairly successful in manufacturing some hype, fostering more FUD, and getting some attention for his organization.

Snyder is a practicing Catholic. It’s charming how he exploits baby Jesus for his own political ends.

Really gives you warm and fuzzies, doesn’t it? And Tucker Carlson says we’re the retarded cousin?

Gotta love that political website you point to with all the multi-coloured bolded, full-width links …

Isin’t it funny how people who want to kill babies don’t like guns, and peace loving christians who want to save babies love guns, and the adreanaline rush you get when you shoot hit the x ring at 500 yards? We the people are the government so we have the right to everything in the constitution, and to be part of the political process. 1/10 of 1% of all gun violence are committed with legally purchased firearms because we only inspect 3% of shpping containers, and the borders are wide open!
