Gun Owners of America: CNN Townhall Was A Lynch Mob

[Initech]

Michael Hammond, a spokesman for Gun Owners of America who just weeks before the recent mass shooting at a school in Florida, boasted of his group’s role in stopping gun legislation after school massacres in Colorado and Connecticut, appeared on VCY America’s “Crosstalk” program on Thursday, where he attacked a CNN town hall about gun violence as a “lynch mob” and entertained callers promoting various conspiracy theories about the Florida shooting.

In response to host Jim Schneider’s question about the claims of one student who claimed that CNN required him to read a “scripted” question at the town hall (CNN has released emails rebutting this), Hammond said that “CNN basically accumulated a lynch mob.” He repeated NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch’s claim, which is not backed up by videos of the event, that attendees yelled “burn her” at her as she left the town hall.

“I mean, that was not a town hall, that was a lynch mob orchestrated by CNN to create the illusion that young Americans, in fact, want to ban guns when in fact, it’s just a carefully selected, carefully group of people that don’t represent America at all,” Hammond said.

Listen asshole, 1. You got owned. 2. You deserved it. 3. Very poor choice of words. So go back to your safe space, snowflake.

1. Gun Owners of America is an even more radical white wing racist group than NRA, if that's possible.

3. Only without the possibility of actually being lynched

Unlike the students who survived Cruz's murderous rampage. Sad that they get to express themselves, isn't it, Mr. Hammond? It's so tough to mock or demean someone who's faced down actual hostile gunfire. Unfair, I say! So unfair. And now the videos from the event don't even have the decency to back up your spurious claim that people said mean things to Dana Loesch. Who can say when those non-existent hoots will turn to, I don't know, frownie faces or worse? Better barricade yourself in a bunker, Mr. Hammond; it's the only way you can be safe from articulate people who disagree with you.

4. That ain't a lynch mob.

Ask Mussolini what a lynch mob looks like.

Oh that's right. You can't.

9. And they are unwilling to give up their vice.

I'm sure the cemetery industry is giving them huge thanks. Can't sell coffins if people don't die!
