A few weeks ago, CNN hosted a town meeting on Firearms with their guest, President Obama. The format would be to allow people from all walks of life to ask questions to the President with regards to firearms and how they are accessed. The entire show lasted an hour and saw a number of individuals standing and asking the President some good and often times, lengthy questions. After which the President would answer the questions. The event was hosted by CNN's Anderson Cooper.
The subject was 'firearms', and the one organization not present was the National Rifle Association (NRA). This organization decided not to debate the topic in open format with the President (whom many would see as the rival in the contest over firearms). The President poked fun at them for not showing up at an event that seems would involve them; After which the event proceeded to the next question.
This is not how the NRA saw things. They believed the whole thing was a conspiracy. That it was originally organized by the White House (incorrect, it was organized by CNN). They were not invited (yes, they were invited). The President got to pre-screen both those in attendance (the White House did not) and their questions (no, the President did not get this either). The NRA contested that the host, Mr. Anderson Cooper was hand picked by the White House because he is so 'buddy-buddy' with the President. They either are not aware or more likely, ignore reality: Mr. Cooper has been quite the outspoken critic of the Obama White House from time to time.
The NRA states the questions were pre-screen; yet the day following that event, one of the people whom asked a question were on the NRA's own radio show: Cam & Company. The person explained how they were selected and their question was pre-screened by CNN. Yet, at the moment of the question, they could have asked anything. It was a live broadcast at the time. She could have asked the President anything on and off topic. Until the NRA types, when one is before the President of the United States of America, one behaves like an adult (regardless if you voted for him or not).
Why is it that the NRA is prone to conspiracy theories and false flags? Behaving in a childish and immature manner seems correct to them then behaving like an adult. Rather then a healthy discussion involving facts and known evidence? Does the NRA really lack any good quality facts and evidence by which to form an intelligent and intellectual argument that is not based upon fear (their usual 'bread and butter' trait in all their messages)?
The answer is 'No'.
