Olbermann: “NRA Should Be Labeled a Terrorist Organization”

“The Resistance,” if you haven’t already heard about it (and how could you not, considering that nearly every Leftist has-been has subscribed to its agenda, including Hillary) is the name of a series of videos produced by GQ Magazine (yes, THAT GQ Magazine) and starring the once demented and now…even more demented…Keith Olbermann.  He not only sees bogeymen behind every door and spooks in every closet, but has now graduated to hiring an official taste-tester for his meals and Starbucks lattes (it’s actually just his neighbor’s 12-year-old who works REAL cheap) because he sincerely believes that “the dark agents of Donald Trump” are out to get him, which is very odd considering that his mother prepares ALL of his microwave dinners.

In his latest installment of “The Resistance,” (after a few well-placed calls to the Obama Department of Shadowy Endeavors (DSE) for his daily marching orders) Olbermann took to the airwaves on the internet to impart his audience with his deep insight into the 2nd Amendment.  As you can imagine, it resembled reading a good piece of science fiction, sprinkled with just a tad of idiocy.

GQ’s Keith Olbermann called for the National Rifle Association (NRA) to be branded a terrorist organization in the latest video from his The Resistance series.

Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann accused the NRA of “enabling” mass shootings like the recent attack in Vegas, which saw more than 50 dead and more than 500 wounded.

In his latest video as part of his The Resistance series, Olbermann stated that the Second Amendment was originally written in the Constitution “to keep federal government from taking away the right of each state to maintain its own militia.” He claimed that the Amendment has since been modified “into an excuse for why madmen of whatever heritage or political purpose cannot be stopped from carrying at least ten long rifles into a hotel room in Las Vegas and setting up a sniper’s nest and killing people.”

Olbermann claimed that the Second Amendment is outdated and does not take into account modern weaponry. “Keep and bear … do not mean ‘own’–period,” Olbermann said. “The Second Amendment is gun-control from an era where the gun was a musket and not an automatic killing machine that could be bought and stashed on the 32nd floor of a hotel in order to shoot people 500 at a time.” Olbermann also called out President Trump for his reaction to the Vegas shooting, saying, that “warmest condolences” are not sufficient.

Olbermann then called for an end to the NRA and to President Trump, stating:

It is time to end refusing to call mass murderers who do not have obvious political motives “terrorists.” It is time to end the National Rifle Association. And it is time to end the career of any political figure who made his way to the White House dog whistling to his Second Amendment people.

Realizing that my intellect pales in comparison to the daunting musings of Constitutional-expert Keith “Paranoia” Olbermann, I hesitate to remind him that “keep and bear” does, IN FACT, mean to “own” these weapons.  “Keep,” by the very nature of the etiology of the word means to be in possession of and, by extension, means to have ownership.  Perhaps that’s splitting hairs.

And just for the record, and I don’t want to upset your already delicate condition, Mr. Olbermann, sir, but when you state that the 2nd Amendment hails from a time when the musket was the weapon of choice, that’s technically accurate, but…

Girandoni Air Rifle, of course. 22 round magazine, an air reservoir sufficient for 30 shots, reloaded via horse- or human-powered pump. The first shot was slightly more powerful than the average musket, with muzzle energy decreasing exponentially with each subsequent shot. No smoke to obscure line of sight, either.

Whoa…that sounds suspiciously like…hold on…could that be a [whispering] assault weapon?

All right, so maybe there wasn’t a Girandoni Air Rifle on every corner.  Perhaps it wasn’t even owned by individual soldiers or citizens.  But what can’t be denied is that when the Founding Fathers wrote the 10 Articles of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution, they were well aware that weaponry could (and would) advance.

Mr. Olbermann, let me give you just a brief history of weaponry.  Back when you and I were in school, a long, long time ago, we used to chide each other with:  “Sticks and stones may break my bones…”  Remember?  Let me assure you that sticks eventually transformed into the club, which begat the mace, which begat the flail, which begat the spear, the halberd, the sword and eventually over much time, the nightstick and finally, the taser.

As for the stones, they eventually transformed into the sling, which begat the javelin, which begat the bow and arrow, which begat the crossbow, the musket, the rifle, the semi-automatic rifle, the grenade, the grenade launcher, the rocket launcher, the laser and possibly, the pulse weaponry of the future.

The point is, the Founding Fathers knew this to be true, that weaponry evolves.  In so knowing, they specifically designed the 2nd Amendment with this exact wording because they knew that someone like you might come along someday and try to argue that it’s just too archaic a document and must be rewritten (i.e., repealed) so that “common sense” legislation can take over and make everything better.

And it would be at this point, Mr. Olbermann, where I might argue that “…words will definitely hurt me.”

Las Vegas – Trump's "Warmest Condolences" are not sufficient. The NRA and the dog-whistlers must GO. pic.twitter.com/QfGKEIGKcT
