Targeted By Anti-Gun Nuts

"[T]hese are just guys who sit in front of their computers at 3 a.m. in their underwear"...

Meanwhile, do you really want these people on these websites (and 40 million other people in the country) to have guns?...

I can cite statistics, and I can tell you why the right to carry a 9-millimeter semiautomatic handgun with a 10-shot clip is not guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. But the paranoia and bone-chilling hatred that spew from such sites as packing.org and freerepublic.com make for an equally — and unusually — effective argument for a ban on handguns.
So you can call us names but we can't reciprocate?

Here's the difference, Jenny Price. These people will leave you alone if you do the same to them. But you insist on using the force of the state to bend them to your will--and having them destroyed if they don't comply.

Why not go poke a hornet's nest with a stick, and then whine in shocked indignation at the reaction--as if you provoked and deserved nothing in return?

Officer...Oh Officer! That Man Has a HOLSTER!!!

Fellow council member Joe Teri spotted Perreault wearing a holster on his waist. That sparked enough concern that Teri mentioned it to council member Ed Earl and Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Greg Link.

Teri couldn't just go up to Perreault and say "Hey, I see you like to shoot, too. We ought to schedule some range time together."

No, "city officials" had to "huddle." No one had the guts to even approach Perreault until the bold City Fathers designated the cop as their "stuckee."

Which leads me to a fun new party game I just invented after visiting the Minneola Council website, the War On Guns Wheel o' Wussies:


Simply cut out out the circular image and put a hole in the center you can stick something through to spin it. If Perreault "lands" in front of you, you're "safe". Everybody else, well you can make up your own rules. For instance, maybe whoever ends up with Teri should get a Wheel o' Wussies Wedgie...

The Gun Team

A hand-picked team of detectives, plainclothes and uniformed officers has been selected to prowl the most crime-ridden Yonkers streets and take guns away from criminals, Police Commissioner Robert Taggart said.
I can imagine the comic book cover.

I can hear the theme music.

I can visualize the trailer.

The commissioner said the members of the gun team are counting on neighborhood residents to help them with intelligence on where they might find guns and who has them.
I can see the little flags waving as the occupying troops march down the Champs d'Elysées...

Lawmakers Say Former Law Enforcment Huge Source For Illegal Guns

A huge gun smuggling investigation landed a former Columbus Police officer in major trouble, NewsChannel5 partner ONN reported.
Translation: We can't be trusted, so we must punish YOU...

Is it really too much for authorized journalists to realize and report that all dealer sales at gun shows must go through the background check?

I guess the true question is, are they really that ignorant or really that dishonest?
