Chris Cox, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund chair, spoke Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention to defend the Second Amendment and attack Hillary Clinton’s stance on gun control.
“Eight years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that we have a fundamental, individual right to protect ourselves and our families with a firearm in our own homes,” he said. “Hillary says they’re wrong. It’s that simple.”
In his fiery remarks, Cox argued that Clinton’s security detail invalidates her policy on gun reform.
“For the past thirty years, she hasn’t taken a walk, a nap or a bathroom break without a good guy with a gun there to protect her,” Cox said. “There cannot be one set of rules for the Clintons, and another set for us.”
Cox then addressed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s gun policy, saying that Trump’s NRA membership is predicated on the idea that the organization is “the largest and oldest civil rights organization in America.”
“We fight for the rights of all Americans, regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation,” Cox said, “because the right to protect your life is the most precious right you have.”
Philando Castile. That is all.
It must be nice to live in such a fantasy world. But then, Cox is a known asshole, so we really don’t have to pay attention to anything he has to say. Keep selling fear and doubt, because most people respond so well to that. Land of the free and home of the brave? Not so much when gun-fondlers are involved. And since when is brandishing a weapon in the Home Depot parking lot part of “defending your home”? “Welcome to Fantasy Island! Tattoo, prepare rooms for our guests!”
So everyone gets Secret Service protection, you drooling dolt? It’s easier when you’re giving the speech to the head-trauma crowd, isn’t it? No worries about a sudden “WTF!” murmur in the throngs.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the caliber of their armor-piercing rounds and by the capacity of their quick-action detachable clips.”
Beware of Liberals with firearms. We don’t get all feels about the crap you do Cox.
