RATHER HAVE MY CHILD DIE THAN USE A GUN?
If you were having trouble understanding anti-gun people, this will not help. A high school math teacher named Doug Van Gorder wrote a letter to the Boston Globe decrying the idea of having self-defense guns in schools. In part of his letter, he shows what can surely be described as one of the most telling views into the minds of gun banners. "But as a progressive, I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime."
So, he views the use of a gun for self defense as a crime, and he would rather have his child die than see a good person (assuming this applies to the police, also) use a gun to save a life.
I simply have nothing to add to that.
I’m not surprised one bit. Liberalism (sorry, progressivism in the current venacular) is a mental illnes. In this case (as well as many other cases), it goes by the name of narcisism. To wit, preserving his delusional worldview is more important to him than the life of his own child.
Another word for it is evil.
Yes, I fell for it for a bit myself. I could see some liberals saying this... but it was so far over the top I started to do some research on the author.
He is good. He really can get to the essence of the liberal gore, and push it just a little more to make it satire.
I hope you’re right. I’d really, really love to be taken in by someone who didn’t believe this than have to accept that somebody does.
Oops...gore should be core, but maybe it still works in this case?
His thinking is even more insane, when you look at that aspect of his statement.
Somebody posted this morning that this fellow is actually a conservative and writes this stuff as a “reductio ad absurdum”. There apparently are a number of examples on line.
'zactly. It's satire, and exceptionally well done, since it is so believable.
“whackadoodle”
Tom is going to have fun with this LoL
Like all liberals: they dont like defense, hate guns, mandate abortion and want everyone to take care of and pay for their beliefs, that way they can manage society through power of government intervention and of course at the end of that gun barrel.
Beat me to it. He pushes it just that shaved inch over the line into ridicule.
moron.
A teacher with the brain of a one cell animal!!!

here’s his letter to Stars & Stripes on the Fort Hood shootings
I ran into this suicidal belief during the 1968 MLK riots. I got a frantic call from my GF down in an old mixed inner city neighborhood stating that she and her mother needed to get out of there ASAP. I stuck a revolver in my belt under my shirt and drove down there, passing burning stores and goons with clubs along the way. Her mother started yelling I better not bring a gun into her house because she would rather die and have her daughter die than have someone shot on their behalf. I acted all innocent, no gun blah blah, and we managed to get out through the NG roadblocks without anyone getting shot.
Fine. WTSHTF, I’d off most of the East Coast anyway. The food riots in Boston ought to take care of people like this in the first few weeks. Problem solved.
Sounds like ‘natural selection’ to me-!
Give Kevie boy some time. When the heat dies down, he'll be doing more than mind molesting kindergarteners.
