You know, that is the most inane statement I have ever heard.

In response to Joe Scarborough telling her, “One person with a gun in the right place can make a big difference.” in regards to Jeanne Assam stopping the murderer at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs.

[No attempt at refuting the claim, just dismiss it. But of course what else could she do other than change her mind? The facts speak for themselves.–Joe]
How did such an obviously unintelligent person ever come up with a big word like “inane”?
The fact that this woman is employed as a news caster is the most inane thing I have ever heard. . . . She should get canned over this if for nothing else than for letting everyone see the media bias in plane sight. . . aren’t they supposed to fake being non bias?
If it’s inane to suggest that one person with a gun can make a difference, we’d better take away all guns and other weapons from law enforcement and VIP protection. Guns will only endanger the cops, since, as we’ve all been told for years, a gun is more likely to endanger its owner than to serve as a defense against a criminal. Besides, fighting the criminals will only create more criminals (as we’ve been told is true about terrorists).
Hence, by the anti’s reasoning, if we simply ignore all evil and render ourselves impotent, the evil will spontaneously dry up and blow away. Hence, evil is created by evil people, but by our judgmentalism, strength and conviction. Hence, strength and moral conviction are our enemies.
She seemed to be prepared to pounce on the comment.
It is as if she has a GFW subroutine running all the time and will instantly drop into condesending more with any gun stimulous. Maybe that is why she’s loopy (geek humor).
