Our sick gun fetish is destroying us: Tea Party fantasies kill kids

Maybe you’ve heard about the “bullet fee” that was supposedly charged to the families of prisoners executed by gunfire. The fee, which is almost certainly an urban legend, has been attributed at various times to Bolshevik revolutionaries and the governments of Iran and China.

But even if the bullet fee is mythical, there is a very real price to be paid when a society becomes intoxicated by gunplay. What price have we paid for the bullets fired at Newtown and in the year since that tragedy?

The financial estimates only scratch the surface.

A Year of listening to whiney asswads pontificate from on high how much smarter they are then the Founders of our Nation. A year of attack on the 2nd Amendment non of which would have prevented an evil person from killing children. There is more but why bother......

You can always count on the lefties to use “the children” to advance their radical agenda. Of course, children in the womb don’t seem to matter so much.

// There is a clear contradiction in these statements, which follow very close to one another. Communists have in fact charged families for the executions of their loved ones. //

...As simple research would have shown him: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB124571865270639351

He clearly could not let the truth get in the way of his fairy tale — a liberal fairy tale that further claims that *we* are deluded for believing (silly us!) such a horrible thing as a bullet fee in totalitarian regimes (similar, death panels).

Ah, the LAYERS of liberal conceit and deceit that ignore and cover over truth.

Thank God algore brought out the internet.
