Guns Yesterday, Guns Today, Guns Forever? [Barf Alert]

The left is going nuts now over the gun grabbing because of the decision in the 5th District Court of Appeals, not because some idiot gunned down 32 unarmed people in West Virginia. They are scared, finally, because their precious gun prohibition in DC was struck down as unconstitutional, as is should have been. That's why the big whine from the left. Every chance they get they will plaster this all over the willing commie press. They could care less about 32 lives on a West Virginia campus (ignoring, all the time, the fact that if there would have been one, just one, armed citizen there the death toll would have been much, much less). They want to take our guns away, and/or change the 2nd Amendment.

At this point they will whine and cry because if they take the DC decision to SCOTUS they will very likely lose it all. What we have to do is hit the left again with another suit challenging local gun grabbing, prohibitive, unconstitutional laws in another Federal Court. It's time for us to attack! We need lawyers with guts and a love of the Constitution to go on the attack and put this tyranny to bed once and for all.

“Actually Harrisburg. (Googled it.) That said, he’s a fool.”

Only a Philly paper would print this drivel though..

“Actually Harrisburg. (Googled it.) That said, he’s a fool.” "Only a Philly paper would print this drivel though.." Naturally. Gun grabbers and other collectivists tend to make emotional committments to aesethetic imperatives at the expense of what we would normally consider to be objective reality. Ever notice, you get into a debate with those people, and our side argues facts while their side sticks to glittering generalties and insults, and when they do try to argue facts, it's the made up kind like that guy who wrote "Arming America" pulled out of his imagination? How do you have a rational arguement with a group of people who think that their feelings trump observable reality?

TigersEye>>Is he talking about automobiles?

Pete>And, considering four years of carnage in Iraq, the 33 deaths including the gunman's seem almost unremarkable.

Interesting that he didn't follow this up with, "...and compared to four years of carnage in America (175,000 traffic deaths), Iraq seems almost unremarkable."

[TigersEye]

He didn’t say anything about the carnage in New Orleans either. I think the murder rate there approaches that in Baghdad.

Philly’s exceeds Iraq’s (though not Baghdad’s)
