New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group is following through with its pledge to air ads against Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor, whom Democrats see as one of their most vulnerable incumbents in a tough 2014 climate.

A source tracking media spending told POLITICO the group has bought $350,000 worth of broadcast and cable airtime starting Friday and running through June 6, a crushing amount in a state where ad time is fairly cheap

Bloomberg Politics is reporting that Republican Representative Tom Cotton is the apparent winner of Arkansas' Senate race, giving the state two Republican senators for the first time in more than a century.

Cotton, 37, will enter the Senate next year as its youngest member. He was elected to the House in 2012 and is a Harvard-educated Army veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

I've seen that sort of statement many times on DU and elsewhere, and I have petronius Mar 2015 #1

Not so much that it denotes fear, though internalized fear is certainly a part of it. Maedhros Mar 2015 #2

Guns and the Fear Agenda are like apple pie and ice cream. Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #3

On what agenda does the fear of gun owners appear? friendly_iconoclast Mar 2015 #5

Further, if gun ownership does not result in an increase in crime... friendly_iconoclast Mar 2015 #9

Reasonable? daleanime Mar 2015 #76

What's your definition of 'reasonable', and why should the rest of us agree with it? friendly_iconoclast Mar 2015 #84

The irony is that people have never been safer hack89 Mar 2015 #6

Absolutely correct sarisataka Mar 2015 #8

That's a lot of projection from the faction that bases its every argument on gun owners being the Nuclear Unicorn Mar 2015 #30

So what is one supposed to do while trying to make things better? friendly_iconoclast Mar 2015 #4

I would prefer a society in which nobody carried concealed weapons. Maedhros Mar 2015 #10

I agree, I would also like to live in a society that carrying a weapon wasn't seen as... friendly_iconoclast Mar 2015 #13

I know. I'm a security professional, so I pay attention to that kind of data. Maedhros Mar 2015 #14

Didn't Joyce Brothers' husband pack? Eleanors38 Mar 2015 #68

Ironic since fear sarisataka Mar 2015 #7

Seems like the fear really is only on one side Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #11

Fear of "the other" has always been a big part of politics friendly_iconoclast Mar 2015 #12

I am a gun owner, and I have definitely met other, scary, gun owners. Maedhros Mar 2015 #16

I've run into a few like that over the years- not many, thank FSM! friendly_iconoclast Mar 2015 #17

here is a nice new insult I have not seen Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #15

Another vintage label from the whine cellar. nt Nuclear Unicorn Mar 2015 #31

"I can't imagine what it must be like to be so afraid" Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #18

It's to keep out the trolls, and I can tell by how obsessed you are with it that it's a good thing. Electric Monk Mar 2015 #19

Actually, I think it is to limit debate Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #20

This group we're in here is for Fight Club, which is why it shows as my favorite group. Electric Monk Mar 2015 #21

Sure looks like you are the one that posted this insult directed at me Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #24

So you are claiming that posters here, are trolls? oneshooter Mar 2015 #22

Gunthusiasts posting in a gun control group would be trolls posting there. Electric Monk Mar 2015 #23

I like punk and classical gejohnston Mar 2015 #25

I like cats and dogs Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #27

What is a "Gunthusiasts" Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #26

That would be us Gentiles who do not recognize the Pete Shields as relayer of God's word... friendly_iconoclast Mar 2015 #33

they also run away and are afaid to answer simple questions Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #34

Maybe the fellow referred to in #15? Eleanors38 Mar 2015 #69

quite possible Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #70

So would that make YOU guilty of that, since you post here. n/t oneshooter Mar 2015 #28

No, the group we're in now is Gun Control & RKBA. aka Fight Club. nt Electric Monk Mar 2015 #29

so are you going to answer my simple question now? Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #32

That was a good alert, and the jury agreed 5-2 to hide your rude call-out. nt Electric Monk Mar 2015 #35

so you posted a direct insult to me Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #36

The jury agreed that your rude call out deserved to be hidden, but you're morally superior? Electric Monk Mar 2015 #37

The juries are somewhat stacked and you know it Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #39

a call out right.... Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #38

Quite a lot of 'ARFCOMMERS' on DU Matrosov Mar 2015 #64

I would not know Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #65

Who qualifies as a "gunthusiast" in your world? NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #66

I can't believe that the OP of that thread in the other group GGJohn Mar 2015 #40

must be very hard on them Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #41

at least I got a person Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #42

Further evidence of your reading comprehension problems. I said it was a good alert. Electric Monk Mar 2015 #43

I can read more than what you type in your post Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #45

And they wonder why they face the opposition that they do. beevul Mar 2015 #56

"I will always vote to hide pro-gun psycho crap. ALWAYS." Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #62

And now he's whining about his hidden post in the other group. GGJohn Mar 2015 #71

It is telling, he did not say Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #72

And he doubles down by questioning Skinner why he allows this group to stay, GGJohn Mar 2015 #73

Yep, Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #74

Nah, it makes you look like you have OCD. nt Electric Monk Mar 2015 #75

Do you actually know what OCD is? NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #78

answer the simple question and it stops Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #79

I owe you nothing but disdain, because you taunt me for being a host of a DU Group. nt Electric Monk Mar 2015 #81

I do not taunt you Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #85

Once again, attributing to someone else, something false. beevul Mar 2015 #87

I think I understand why you and your cohorts have to have a safe haven, GGJohn Mar 2015 #83

And you notice he allows it Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #86

Still refuse to answer another question Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #88

That he does Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #80

My kids are now old enough to be "too cool" for birthday parties. NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #82

Oh yes I know Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #48

I don't need pity. I'm not scared. Sounds like projection. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #44

Sounds a lot like the NRA around here...just like the NRA...the name that shall not be mentioned... Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #49

Not a member. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #50

Not a member? Seems like a lot of folks commenting would be welcomed by the NRA by Ted Nugent himself. Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #51

They would not welcome me. Nugent wouldn't like me much either. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #52

Hate the NRA, but love all it's gun positions?- no way around the jaw dropping contrast. None. Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #53

Who loves all the NRA's gun positions? AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #55

And Fred runs away again nt Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #61
