In the last two or three weeks, the United States has seen an unprecedented outcropping of violent shootings, much of it directed at the police. As a result, seven police officers are dead. Over a dozen civilians have been killed. Why is this happening now? Obviously this has nothing to do with race. The shooters run the racial gamut. A black shot the police in Oakland. A white shot the police in Pittsburgh. And a Vietnamese individual shot the civilians. But in both cases where police were killed, an assault rifle was used.
So why are our police outgunned? Is it because of the politically correct rules of engagement that have been imposed on them over the last 30 years? Or is it because there are too many assault weapons in the hands of criminals? If we decided we wanted to have real borders, maybe we could stop the flood of weapons that come from Mexico, Russia, China, and Eastern Europe. But now that they’re here, how can we allow our police to by the criminal and the insane. So I put the question to the Savage Nation. Is it time to ban assault rifles? What are they really needed for?
Of course, I can already hear callers telling me, “Well, Mike, if we’re armed with these weapons, the government can’t possibly take our rights away.” That is nonsense. If the government wants to take your rights away or imprison you for whatever reason, your owning an assault rifle is not going to stop it. So we have to ask: If the police are not allowed to have these types of weapons, then why is the public allowed have them. I want you, The Savage Nation to tell me why.[/i]
While I like his saying: “Liberalism is a mental disorder”, he has long been an idiot.
This is what I sent – it is stream of consciousness and I am sure could have been improved

Your call to ban so-called “assault rifles” is ignorant. Besides the Constitutional problems, it comes down to this. I have the right to defend my family and community and the rifle and handgun are the tools to do that. Are you a citizen that enjoys all your God given rights or are you a serf beholden to the government for your rights?
My right of self-defense trumps all other concerns and “rights.” I live in America, the Land of the brave and the Home of the Free. I do not live in Canada, or the UK, subjects (serfs) of a Monarch, nor in Socialist Europe or Russia or other similar country where we are beholden to an all mighty government that dispenses rights as the ruling class sees fit. I live in America. Where we have true Liberty. Get used to it.
Also, historically such bans have never worked. And won’t work. You should know that. There are a million science and statistics reason why your question is dumb. But that is all irrelevant since you are talking about my God given right to self-defense.
I guess if Michael Savage is calling for government control of society and for trashing the Constitution it is time to move on to real patriots who understand true freedom and God given rights and away from those who would give up freedom in the name of safety.
We’ll find the right address sooner or later. His website is pretty amateurish. I hope to arouse all gun owners to this turncoat phony conservative’s idiocy.
Or is it because there are too many assault weapons in the hands of criminals? If we decided we wanted to have real borders, maybe we could stop the flood of weapons that come from Mexico, Russia, China, and Eastern Europe.
Wait, now “assault rifles” are coming here from Mexico? I thought we had to ban them so we’d stop selling them to Mexico. Come on media, someone tell me which one to think!
I am writing this letter to inform you that I will no longer purchase your products or subscribe to any of your publications or listen to your broadcasts until you sever all ties with the columnist Michael Savage for his outright disrespect for the Second Amendment rights of American citizens.
Okay, I have no idea who this Savage cat is, but I assume he’s a talk radio personality…in which case there is a better chance of catching me rubbing my balls on a cactus while hitting my toes with a ball-peen hammer than catching me voluntarily listening to talk radio.
This strikes a nerve with me though:
You know what? My owning these, and other, weapons is exactly why no one can come and imprison me or take away my rights against my will. That doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences for not “playing” or that they can’t/won’t kill me deader than a doornail if I were to raise their ire and then decide to engage in violent shenanigans with them. What it does mean is that ultimately it’s me that decides how that plays out – even if I were to just give up and do as I’m told, it’s still my decision. This is why I’m a free man. Not because I’m American, or because of the Constitution, or Bill of Rights… No, I’m a free man because every morning when I get up, even just to run the rat race, I’m waking and up and choosing to do so, and I no one – no one, individual or gov’t – can forcibly coerce me otherwise without a fight. I have no Rambo-esque delusions of singlehandedly resisting hordes of gov’t storm troopers nor do I think George Washington’s ghost is going to lead the “true patriots” to victory in a second revolution. But by God, I’m free and will stay that way until I die or choose not to be.
Fuck this Savage coward, and his ilk, may their chains be light and their master’s whips strike softly.
Here’s a news flash. None of these twits (left, right, or middle of the road) give a rip about anything other than ratings and revenue. And they get their ratings and their revenue by generating controversy and getting folks all worked up about how “we” are getting screwed by “them.” They’d all switch horses in a heartbeat if it kept 'em on the air for another day and put an extra dollar in their pocket.
And bad publicity and negative backlash is just as good as an adoring public because you’re still talking about 'em and putting their brand out there. The deepest cut of all for these jerk offs is “Michael who?” (or "Keith who?"or “Glen who?” or “insert name who?”). Turn 'em all off! Spend a little time with the family, take the dogs for a walk, wash the car or mow the yard–anything rather than sitting around letting some self-proclaimed media pundit push your blood pressure through the roof. You’ll be healthier (and happier) for it.
I’ve been tolerating his rants thinking he’s on our side, but when he purposely avoids the 2A as a discussion topic on his show, my BS meter would max out. Schmekel Savage has finally outed himself as the King of the Sheeple Nation! He has finally exposed his true fiber. WOOL! And he has the fucking nerve to ask for the protection of his 1A? Fuck him! The Bill of Rights is a package deal! Period!
Just after 9/11/01 I heard Michael Savage say " When the Towers fell Liberals were wondering what we did wrong to make Muslims hate us and Republicans were home loading their AR-15’s". How soon he forgets.
