Conservative Website To Give Away Free Guns Until Election Day

May 24th, 2012 4:56 pm Henry Decker

The Daily Caller, a conservative website run by right wing pundit and noted hack Tucker Carlson, is holding a contest in which it will give away a free gun every week from now until election day.

According to the website, each gun will be engraved with the Bill of Rights.

“Like most Americans outside Washington, DC, New York City and most of our nation’s news rooms, large numbers of Daily Caller readers love guns,” wrote Daily Caller CEO Neil Patel, apparently missing the irony in the fact that he runs a news room in Washington.

Several commenters on the post announcing the contest have volunteered their reasons for entering, such as “we have to protect ourselves from the big bad puddy tats[sic] or the New Black Panther party,” and “Liberals are in Season right now.”

What could possibly go wrong?

    And so, some nut job is out there. And it your job to expose him or her. My biggest concerns are the the “Nut Jobs” in Washington. Thank you for your stupid post.

    • ObozoMustGo

    Thank you very much, Mr. Decker, for this information about “The Daily Caller”. This is the first I heard about it so I went to their site and discovered that the only requirement is to sign up for their newsletter (evidently I will not have to read it) and I shall have a chance to win one of the 25 FMK9C1 sidearms (one a week for 25 weeks). I would much rather get a 12 gauge riot gun which would have room to engrave the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights. (and is a far more effective defensive weapon) but I shall be happy to have an automatic pistol since it doesn’t get cold enough to cause it to jam where I live now. (when I was in Alaska and also winters in the Midwest I carried a S&W Long Colt .45 or a S&W .44 Magnum revolver).

    • DurdyDawg

      The only way your getting a free gun is to be kin to Tucker Carlson (distant cuz acceptable).

    I have guns…..I don’t feel the need to give them up because I’m a liberal…….Obama 2012!!!!!

    GOP and their crazy far right winger Tea Party cannot win a battle of the guns they are clamoring to. It is sad that Republicans in the legislative chambers and those crack heads Republicans walking the street have no idea of what they are doing to themselves. If they have any plans in their heads to do havoc to our president, some of us are ready behind them and they will be drown in their own BLOOD. We have heard many right wing surrogates talking CRAZY of their intention if our beloved president is re-elected, I have good news for you, you are going to lose BIG. Nugent the country musician is an example. Without the liberals that built this country, I don’t know where America will be in the world. Thank God for that. You KKK in Tea Party and Republican SKIN, you are seriously ADVISED to not SELF DESTROY because this is the PATH you are threading. It will not HELP you or your immediate family. SEEK PEACE. That is the way of the LORD. Your claims that you are going to protect yourself against the BLACK PANTHERS is unreal. What are you protecting yourself against. Don’t bother Black Panther and they will not bother you. Do not take what is of immense interest from them and you will have PEACE. Actions and reactions are equal and opposite if you understand. God Bless America. Peace !!!!!!!. Go Obama. A democrat for ever. Used to like of you haters and unprogresives. Thank God I am a child of GOd. I pray for my president each day, and you can.

      Jesus said turn the other cheek, not turn stupid. People have been clamoring for peace for thousands of years, where is it? I have noticed peace lovers are happy to let someone else do the fighting and die for them, and then condemn them for carrying a weapon. And was the president telling the world that ” I got him” referring to Osama bin? That sounds like he means kill. Yep, you Democrats are sure peace loving. Peace is great, if you can live long enough to enjoy it. I’m very happy to see you like socialism and the controls it brings, you’ll never have to decide anything ever again, the state will do it for you, want to eat, you’ll be told what and how much. Also, please explain the Jesus we read about in the Temple, and what he did to the money lenders. That doesn’t sound very peaceful. Trust me when I say, I want peace, I would just prefer to be breathing while enjoying my peace. Good luck, and while your at it read some history.

    Obituary…..

    Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

    - Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
    - Why the early bird gets the worm;
    - Life isn’t always fair;
    - And maybe it was my fault.

    Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

    His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened
    his condition.

    Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

    It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

    Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

    Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

    Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

    Common Sense was preceded in death,
    -by his parents, Truth and Trust,
    -by his wife, Discretion,
    -by his daughter, Responsibility,
    -and by his son, Reason.

    He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
    - I Know My Rights
    - I Want It Now
    - Someone Else Is To Blame
    - I’m A Victim
    - Pay me for Doing Nothing

    Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone.

    If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

    Have a great Memorial Day weekend! Remember, we are the land of the free because of the brave.

        Thanks BigAl… I am a life raft of truth in this sea of leftist insanity!

        Have a great day!

  • joyscarbo

    I have proudly never owned a gun, shot a gun or even held a gun in my hand. I never intend to either.
    Gun owners are four and a half times more likely to be shot and either injured or killed.
    I’ll stay gun free, thanks.

    • DurdyDawg

      My situation is different.. I don’t have guns because I smoked some pot one spring day with a few other tokers and the law totaled up all the baggies in the room, called it distribution and charged each and every one of us with the total number they counted then we spent the next 9 months in state jail.. now I’m considered an ex-felon and can’t even carry a finger nail clipper because, I don’t know.. maybe sometime in the future the THC will back up on me and I’ll go out on a killing spree?

  • Justin Napolitano

    These folks are compensating for their lack manhood and common sense. I can’t wait for the first lawsuit when someone getting one of these guns shoots somebody.

    I’m a liberal and proud of it. I voted for Obama in 2008 and will vote for him again in 2012. I don’t think my political views have changed since I was in high school in the 1960s, during my time in the Marines, or during my life since then. At the same time, I’m a gun lover. I have about 35 different modern rifles (with a Class 3 permit and 4 of my rifles them are full auto), 7 modern shotguns, 20 some modern pistols, and probably 75 antique and replica guns. I have a concealed carry permit, and am usually armed. I love to target shoot, I love to hunt, and if a criminal breaks into my house and threatens me or my family, I’ll take them out! Being a liberal does not make you anti 2nd amendment!!

  • sleeprn01

    This is no joke. If President Obama is re-elected he is going to repeal the 2nd amendment. Then he and his neegro friends are going to form an army and confiscate all of the guns in America. Well at least that’s what the voices are telling me!!

    • DurdyDawg

      Obviously the little white voices in your goard of course.

        • DurdyDawg

          I understand sarcasm totally but where is the sarcasm in this:

          “This is no joke. If President Obama is re-elected he is going to repeal the 2nd amendment. Then he and his neegro friends are going to form an army and confiscate all of the guns in America. Well at least that’s what the voices are telling me!!”…

          THIS I can not find any sarcasm in.. You need to finish with (sarcasm) if you don’t want people to think your a bigot who’s three cents short of a nickle.

          • sleeprn01

            Dear Dirtydawg, I’m a definite Obama supporter and I did pass 9th grade civics. I am quite aware of what the executive branch of the government can and cannot do. I also know that changing the constitution is not an easy task, it has to voted by both houses of congress and passed by a 3/4 majority then it goes to the general population in each state for a vote, and then the change goes back to congress. The last amendment that was attempted to be passed during my life time was the ERA, which failed. After President Obama was elected president it is my understanding that ammunition was very hard to come by in the state of Texas all because they (the right wing) believed that President Obama was going to repeal the second amendment. What I tried to do is demonstrate the idiocy of some of the responses that are written in these pages, where many have no concept of basic civics. The idea that President Obama would form a ” neego army” is so preposterous that I thought it would be obvious that I was being sarcastic. Perhaps I should of ended this tirade with ” this is as ludicrous as giving away free guns”.
            P.S. This actually one area of President Obama’s agenda that I’m disappointed in. I wish that he had more support so that he may push for gun control. I personally believe that no needs an assault rifle or a hand gun with capability of holding 32 rounds in it. These weapons were made for one thing, to kill.

            As you responded to joyscarbo, you must now understand why I shot back as I did. I never accused you of being illiterate as I would have no reason to insult.. I was just responding to what I read.. That I interpreted it other than sarcasm has now been explained to me. Thanks for the clarity. There’s a lot of issues that I’ve been disappointed within the president but I’m not willing to vote for a party that helped to get us in this dire situation in the first place and especially a man who has no leadership experience other than knowing how to manipulate companies.. America is not a company, it is an entity within itself and we don’t need someone who would be willing to bankrupt us and then re-organize those who survive. Obama isn’t the answer but he’s the only choice in consideration of the alternative. As far as guns are concerned, your correct.. I my opinion, anything that Americans have collected up to this time is a freedom and should remain, but weapons of mass destruction should very well be limited if not banded all together. It’s like if one weapon (say a six shooter) is considered legal then all others (like the uzie or even bazooka) should also be available which is absolute insanity. Some want all firearms banded.. To me that would be ill advised because once the masses are unarmed then only criminals and the authorities will be armed and within time, one would not be able to distinguish one from the other. Have a better day.

          • sleeprn01

            Hi DurdyDawg, Thank you and I agree with most of your comments. I think that President Obama has tried to do a good job but he has had the GOP to deal with. Both the McConnell & Boehner stated that there goal is to make Obama a 1 term president, and here I thought they were to serve their country.
            this weekend I had a heated political debate with my brother in-law; the end result was that he said “he doesn’t care what Obama has done, he’s not voting for that N-word”! How can you have a discussion with someone who is a repugnant racist!! Once again thank you.

    • joyscarbo

      Obama has never even SUGGESTED that gun ownership should be restricted or threatened to repeal the 2nd Amendment. That’s what the NRA and Fox News wants everyone to believe…but then, these are the same people who think zombies are real, have an underground bunker full of supplies and guns and believe the end is near.
      The mere suggestion that guns should somehow have tighter regulations spells political suicide- not just for the politician, but for the party they represent as well. Right wing repubs always want to accuse the Dems of wanting more gun control. The last attempt in this country to put forth meaningful gun control was the Reagan administion: The Brady Bill. Turns out that Ronald and his associates getting shot at by some crazy. Go figure.

      • sleeprn01

        Dear joyscarbo, I’m an Obama supporter. I did pass 9th grade civics and know that to change the constitution is a very complex; being in the executive branch he would have very little involvement in changing the constitution. I don’t think that President Obama could form a negro army. I would guess that many did not understand my attempt at sarcasm directed toward some of the idiotic comments that I read on this website.

        • joyscarbo

          I saw that you were being sarcastic AFTER I had written my reply. My apologies.

        • DurdyDawg

          Well now that we’re aware, we’re all behind you (at least I am) and I fully agree, some comments on this (as well as scores of other articles) do reside in dumbdom. I think they spew their rhetoric simply to see it in print.. that they would actually believe it would certainly bring up the debate of total stupidity. Problem is, we’re all of us confused and really don’t know what the future holds in store.. They tell us Obama is some kind of monster who’s out to destroy this country.. We don’t believe them. We tell them that Romney will put us so far in debt that 16 trillion will look like chicken feed, they don’t believe us. We have all become separatists, just as those in the shadows had anticipated. We need to unite.. place our party to the side and demand from who ever becomes POTUS to do his job for America and monitor each and every congressman, representative and other political welfare recipient and make sure they do their sworn duty as well and if any of them don’t then make such a noise that it will literally destroy their usefulness then oust their useless ass Only we as a united people can do this.. The toads know this, that’s why their manipulating this separatism.. It’s b’ness as usual to them.

      stop drinking the tea!

      • sleeprn01

        I can’t stop drinking the tea. It causes me to hear things, such as: the giving away of free guns, changing medicare to a voucher system, give the 1% even larger tax breaks and still balance the budget, return to 30 years of GOP failed economic policy, re-instate the Bush doctrine, prolong the war in Afghanistan, repeal Obamacare, eliminate planned parenthood, continue to wage war on women, actually think of corporations as people, and that Mitt Romney is a job creator. Maybe I should stop drinking the tea, this is too far fetched to be true; isn’t it!!!!

    It’s not gun owners that I’m afraid of, it’s those people that happen to own guns and feel that they have the right to enforce their own interpretations of the law.
