I suggest that Tom Stay Home…he is not welcome in AZ or many other western states.

This sneering lefty will never understand anyone or anything outside of New York or L.A. , so his opinion on guns is totally worthless .

Stay out of UT while you are at it Tom.

I’m wondering if he would be nervous going into a bar in Harlem or East L.A.?

I’m sure he’d swagger into those places without fear. All those guns and hostility are out west and in the south, you know. New York is a bubble of kumbaya harmony.

Earth to Tom…. Where I live we have “must issue” concealed carry permits, and open carry without permits. It’s illegal to go into a bar (or anywhere alcohol is served) with a gun. Law abiding citizens follow the rule of law. You can figure out the rest.

No reason to fear Tom , Plaxico Burress lost his work release bid .

One other thing. Tom says, “I would be nervous about going into a bar or restaurant in Arizona on a Saturday night where people can carry concealed without permits.” Tom is an idiot and is completely unaware of the law.

A follow-up observation….

Juan Williams got fired when he said that he got nervous when he saw people in Muslim dress on an airplane. That was…offensive.

So….it’s not offensive to paint the entire state of Arizona as armed lunatics?

Just wonderin’.

Wow, Tom goes on TV to tell everyone he is a huge pussy

Went in a bar in Bullhead City , Az. a few years ago . They ask at the door if you’re packing a heater . If you say no , they issue you one .

Harry says:

It’s only offensive if they are Muslim.

MSNBC has become the new comedy channel. They have always been biased, but their coverage of this tragedy in Arizona has become so distanced from reality that the rest of America can only look on slack-jawed in amazement. Sure, Tom, there are gunfights in every Phoenix bar. And Sarah Palin caused a murder. Glenn Beck too. And Bush is responsible for Katrina. And you can give 20 million people free healthcare, and it will cost us all less than before. All MSNBC needs is a laugh track to accompany the punditry, since the one-liners are already in place.

I’m going to tell you what. I live in the Great Midwest. In a bad part of town. I was sitting in my favorite watering hole and these two fellows with pistols came in and told everyone to get on the floor. I would say about 6 or 7 patrons of the 10 or so in the establishment pulled out their piece and pointed at them. As the bartender pulled out his short rifle from behind the bar he told the two that they need to leave. While they were still able. Needless to say they both fled. I ordered a round for the bar…..

CHEERS ! Excellent .

One tip for Tom . If you go into any bar anywhere , don’t walk in dressed like Brother Theodore . ( as in picture ) .

Oh wait, let me guess, Tom has to bring his gun to feel safe.

What a great country we live in, the only way we can feel safe now is to buy our own gun.

Maybe we shouldn’t have made guns so easily available in the first place, then there wouldn’t be so many people to kill gun-owners.

Cause, ya know, all gun-owners are really threatened all the time, they live a dangerous life… shooting at deer and squirrels that have no way to defend themselves… real man stuff.

Look how much this clown brings to the table. Discussion after discussion. Empty attacks, without a coherent thought or input of any kind, because someone disagrees with his beloved 0bama.

The uber liberal Tom Brokaw looks down his nose on the good people of AZ way too much to ever step foot in a bar there. He still thinks guns kill people.

Yet last weekend, in the middle of Arizona, home to the loosest gun laws in America, where you can carry concealed or on a damn holster, the most extreme scenario played out: an armed psycho bolted out of a store, into a large crowd, shot a woman point blank and then started firing wildly at the crowd. The guy got off 31 shots and not one gun owner was able to stop him. And honestly, it was probably a good thing no one tried, because a few jagoffs with their own glocks or sig sauers would have much more likely only added to the dead and wounded.

The only way this would have been helped would have been for gun control laws that limited this psycho freak to a more traditional slower firing hand gun with a smaller magazine. Spin away, with visions of black market tech 10s that he would have used if gun laws kept him out of gun shops and show, but sane gun laws save lives, and no one needs an AK 47 or a glock with a 30 round clip for home defense.

People kill people and so do guns. You have a madman with an assault weapon who kills 20 people, when he might have killed 5 or less with a 30-06. The psycho absolutely killed 5, but the additional 15 deaths are courtesy of the assault weapon’s added killing efficiency. No reason anyone needs to own an assault weapon or an automatic for sport or for self defense. Where do the NRA arguments end? When owning an RPG is legal? What about a heavy mortar?

And the stories coming out of those states of the murder and mayhem in bars instigated by legal gun owners/carriers are so numerous, I’m surprised there’s time for news stations to report on anything else.

Something similar happened here. Thugs came in with guns. Owner pulled out his gun one dead, other ran, owner and patrons safe and sound. Problem solved.

And if a responsible adult standing next to the coward had 1chambered load in a 9mm, end of Mr. Loughlin, without the carnage or the million dollar appeals for his 10 million dollar court appointed, tax payer paid for defense.

Oh, and blame the gun, and society for “allowing” him to have it. He is a victim of society, just like the media paints him. Right?

He should be nervous going into a bar… real men and honest women are usually in there.

No one was going to prevent Jared from getting off the first several shots, he attacked totally from surprise like a professional combat shooter would. Just because concealed carry exists is no guarantee that there are any gun owners packing nearby and close enough to do any good. IE, a strawman argument. Your argument that “it was a good thing no one tried” is both intellectually dishonest and cowardly speculation. Just because you don’t have the guts doesn’t mean the rest of us are the same way and you have no idea what would have happened. The disarm attempt by the bystanders succeeded this time, but the spring problems inherent in a high-cap magazine made their job easier.

On to the next paragraph. An improvement in the mental health area might have well prevented the shooter from obtaining a firearm, given that we might all agree he is crazy, by actually using and enforcing the existing laws regarding mental health and firearms. But the laws, like gun control laws, are just pieces of paper that prevent nothing and stop nothing without people as their agents. The solution to the failure of laws should not be more laws. Bypassing the supposed limits on magazines is quite simple really, thanks to the internet you can order them online if you are smart enough to use a computer. And as to the “slower firing” traditional weapons, looks like you never heard of “fanning” which is a revolver rapid fire technique. Low cap magazines are no guarantee of low body counts.

Gun control laws are an epic failure because at their heart they distrust the common citizen to make rational and good judgements with the firearm. Looking at large scale examples like New York and Chicago, one can see the failure of gun control in the real world, with more death and crime, not less, compared with more heavily armed populations elsewhere . Also, gun control proponents(Brady et al) have a bad habit of distorting the facts or outright lying about the issue, making many of us not trust them or their motivations. It is no secret that gun control laws serve the cause of tyranny. Just_MC has some great posts on this topic in another thread.

Tom I don’t know if they carry guns in the sort of bars you frequent. It is hard for drag queens to pack heat in their padded bras.

Tom Brokaw was talking about going into a gay bar… Oh, my God! Latin2 brought this up first.

James, are you freaking kidding me!! I’m telling him I don’t want to SEE him, not that I want to kill him. You guys are really stretching now. Give it a rest, loon.

Didn’t Brokaw just insult every bar patron in AZ? Where is the civility in comments like Mr. Brokaw just made? What civil retort is he expecting? I doubt the good people of AZ would even welcome the clown. He belongs in liberal, elite towns with their metro-sexual “men” for him to feel comfortable. San Francisco and New York City, where boys will be girls and SarahP, and jim bronson 990cc can compete for the metro-boy attention. Where The Real Royal King doesn’t have to be afraid to let his hair down to be Queen for the day. Yes folks, Brokaw has been spoon feeding the mush-brain liberal garbage since 1966! One of the liberal elite that has never found a conservative that he couldn’t look down his nose at. In his simple remarks he shows his contempt for regular citizens of America. SarahP, and jim bronson 990cc swoon to his voice, like Barry 0bama to Jerimiah Wright. Brokaw is as proud of America as Michelle Obama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGjR81pFJI4 And Brokaw has as much contempt of America as Barry 0bama has for the US Constitution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkpdNtTgQNM

If America would just ask itself one simple question: Why are there people who want to disarm an honest citizenry? The absurdity would go away, if we just keep asking THAT question. Liberals exist to make criminals victims, so that they my create programs to “protect” the citizenry. They allow for so many criminals to remain in society, then they work overtime to demonize guns to take away their self defense from them. Wake up, people! We cannot all live in liberal elite enclaves like the fool Tom Brokaw.

How much taxpayer money went into convicting the obviously deranged and liberal clown Phil Specter? His estate should have been confiscated after his trial to reimburse the tax payer, and to award the real victims in that tragedy. Perhaps if America went after Hollywierd’s guns they’d sing a different tune, and make a different movie.

Tom, you can always go to a bar for sissies and nancy-boys. I think there’s probably a couple of them here in Arizona. They might not be carrying a heater but they’ll scratch your eyes out for being a whiny little beotch. Nobody likes that ‘kind’ around here.
