NRA Board Member: Paddling A Child 'May Keep Me From Having To Put A Bullet In Him'
Source: TPM
By BRENDAN JAMES Published FEBRUARY 7, 2015, 1:17 PM EST
An NRA board member and leader of the Texas State Rifle Association wrote on Wednesday that disciplining a child through corporal punishment may prevent him from "having to put a bullet in him later."
Complaining of State Rep. Alma Allen's (D) bill to "prohibit the use of corporal punishment in public primary and secondary schools," NRA board member Charles Cotton took to TexasCHL Forum to vent his frustration.
"I'm sick of this woman and her 'don't touch my kid regardless what he/she did or will do again' attitude," Cotton wrote in a thread titled "HB567: Corporal punishment in schools."
"Perhaps a good paddling in school may keep me from having to put a bullet in him later," he added. Cotton did not immediately return a message left at his office seeking comment on Saturday.

13. "Having to" ?
When does one ever have to put a bullet in someone?
The real answer is NEVER.
The attitude that there is any compulsion involved is the beginning of the problem.
Most of the DUmmies have pretty much the same naive pacifist attitude as dickthemunch.
But then there are a couple other primitives who have seen too much death or something in living their lives as badass pistoleros. They are ready to throw down their guns for good and they think that the rest of us should too.

23. Actually, the truth is bit more nuanced
Here's the thing: I am a Liberal down to my DNA, but I'm also a Liberal who can snap-shoot the seeds out of a grape off-hand. I am a life-long gun owner and an expert marksman, but I despise Wayne LaPierre and the way he has perverted what was once a sportsman's organization devoted to responsible gun ownership. There have always been deranged fanatics that are WAY too wrapped up in their penis substitutes. I'm sure it was true back in the Stone Age when Neanderthals compared the size of their clubs; it's a guy thing. Or maybe more of an unevolved chimp thing.
It's all a function of attitude. Most people who are good with firearms and know how to handle them don't have to brandish an AR-15 in a Kroger's Supermarket to prove their manhood. That's for witless losers. But it's those clowns that get all the attention. They make me sick.
I've met more than a few assholes like this guy. They're too dirt stupid to ever understand that they're not impressing anyone but other mental defectives like themselves. But they have guns, so don't turn your back on one of 'em, 'cause they're all cowardly back-shootin' weasels.
Snap shoot the seeds out of a grape. I'm impressed. And get a load of this:
'cause they're all cowardly back-shootin' weasels.
Is that a quote from Walter Brennan or Chill Wills?
Then there is the super badass Hoyt.

34. If you are really against the gun fanciers, you gotta let your legislators know your fellings.
I was field stripping a 1911 while in grade school. I grew up and can see what gunz do to our society.
You forgot to say that you were doing the 1911 field stripping blindfolded.
Hoyt's BS badass bona fides:

80. A guy carrying a gun is pretty obvious, there is an air about them.
Trayvon knew that the bigot stalking him was not unarmed, an that assumes bigot boy didn't have his gun drawn the whole time. My guess is he did.
Fact is, from the moment bigot boy strapped that gun on, he was ready to kill.

89. I can even tell which side you got it on by the way you walk and
how many cartridges you have in magazine and whether you have one in chamber.
