the david package intended dot com welcome to the david packard show we'll
live on christmas you that i'm wearing what is ostensibly some kind of
christmas sweater
even though of course i'm jewish and uh... i guess we're celebrating
philosophy ray lewis it is the philosophy of christianity being
celebrated tonight at
churches and tomorrow if you believe bill o'reilly and uh... i'm sure there
will be plenty of other philosophical holidays coming up there
show we have a philosophical discussion about uh...
christianity i can't even tell us leave me wearing the sweater is satire not
like it session nuanced satire buddy and i can identify myself but i'm not sure
if it's for real or not
i decide put on a red sweater and that means it is yay did you
did you consider what you were doing at all when you put that on this morning
yeah
you were aware of the connection yeah yeah yeah
maybe subconsciously you are you happy you're going to celebrate
the holiday the philosophy of christianity apparently perhaps
we had this n_r_a_ press conference president wayne lapierre
called for armed police officers that every school
took no responsibility at all for the tragedy at new town
and all of the other mass shootings that have been happening and all of the other
ones that have been uh... committed by i'd happily and often illegally armed
gunmen key people in video games movies and music videos for exposing children
to violent culture
day-in and day out
i think it really particular issue with this
this has been so debunk than anchorage people to go back in our archives and
look up the interview with professor michael morgan who has studied violence
in media extensively
and there is not actually a connection between people doing violent things
and violent media and video games however
there is a connection between people seeing those things and simply being
more afraid and believing that
the world around them is far more dangerous
even just that
wayne lapierre not even able to avoid getting into that uh... a fallacy
right then you don't need to look into studies you'll need to be genius to
figure this out i mean just look at
look at history and look at uh... violent incidents and serial killers and
uh... these people in the past that had no exposure to anything of the sort of
course are why did they do it
remember there is one wo did
from the n_r_a_ here we can this this is the key thing i don't know how i how i
can explain this to you better
did the n_r_a_'s press conference and everything they did after the sandy hook
school shooting
was to prevent the reduction in gun sales and ideally
stimulate and increase in gun sales because this is a gun lobby
on the board of the n_r_a_
are executives from
firearms company okay this is the chamber of commerce for gun companies
we need to forget about anything else ada dating responsible are they not
being responsible
that one goal
sell more gun they get money
from the gun companies begun companies get money from selling guns the
connection is very very clear and they succeeded and they said they did succeed
because we'll talk about on our next show
there has been an explosion package
maybe if the wrong word to use there has been in a a precipitous in cli increase
in the number of these high-capacity magazines that are being uh... purchase
now people essentially stocking up
now though i don't even want to play any of the video from the press conference
because nonsense you know what it is i know what it is total garbage
there was one moment where a code pink pro protester got in
and the silent protest now
at the end of this
they started yelling and i think the protest would have been far more
effective if they didn't yell at any point when what we are just kinda tries
to go on the teeth out
security guard gets involved in and we hear the yelling take a lot srs
and predators
of the world
so there it is the big pink sky and exploited n_r_a_ killing our kids
coaching dot for it
wayne lapierre have continuing
pictures this
now he's completely covered by the fact
you can see the coaching protesters henry lee shivering i mean
other probably pretty nervous about that
here comes a security guard
so actually think the protest would've been more effective they did not do that
in other words if they were completely silent
they hold the signed wayne lapierre stops and they get taken out when you
guys think
yeah i'd agree because uh...
it what i mean if it's reported i mean that's the thing is the only way to get
this story reported is by then saying something at the end of that yap and
maybe it is better if it's reported it in asylum reporting of it actually
occurs and maybe that's better wayne lapierre also called for a national
mental health day today to completely insensitive at villa five millions of
americans the vast majority of them will never be violent
the solution uh... uh... it this is that it's just
the idea that
children
with armed teachers basically in michigan a shootout between the good
guys and the bad guys
that's the way to protect kids
that's completely absurd we should be talking about ways to prevent the for
shots from even being fired
this mental health databases incredible we don't do full screening and
background checks
with waiting periods
for gun sales
and we don't maintain a full data base of the sales there's these loopholes at
at gun shows and for private personals and purchases but now we have a database
which includes people getting add event from doctors
because they get nervous when they fly that's the solution to the gun problem
right and uh... would about uh...
without the children
of these people
there are no testing to be done on that night
who knows if if they've ever seen a doctor in their lives right and again
the idea that guy armed people when the shootings happen as a solution
columbine high school added armed deputy main neil gardner he retreated when that
shooting started
virginia tech at their own police department
for a good it was a military base
with everything from military police to armed military so what evidence do we
have
that having one armed person in the schools is the solution you know i don't
believe corridor that having the teachers beyond that evidence doesn't
exist there's no there's no
nuances of detail in mommy's
yeah well you know what they pointed to what
their they've been pointing to israel
and now israel has come out and said the n_r_a_'s vastly distorting all of these
stories udall paul moore who's a spokesman for the israeli foreign
ministry told the and and a new york daily news
the n_r_a_ president wayne lapierre is lying when he said that our country has
had a lot of school shootings and he's lying when he said that we put on
security in every school we didn't have
a series of school shootings
they had nothing to do with the issue in the united states
and what remove the danger was not armed guards but an antiterror policy
which brought down street terrorism almost zero
so no surprise that the n_r_a_'s trying to distort the did the facts in israel
like you said all that matters is profits all doggone cells
