Pot, kettle
Paul Helmke, in a bit of irony that’s so obvious anti-gunners can’t see it, says:
It’s easy to mobilize people for political purposes if you scare them into thinking that their rights are about to be taken away. Inventing urgency and injustice can create a mob on the streets or on the blogs. Time and again, we’ve seen such mobs try to impose their will on the majority of citizens. In politics, the vocal minority often helps make the rules.
This, from the organization that gave you cop killer bullets, assault weapons, blood in the street, gun show loophole, etc. In other news, Helmke can’t even get a mob in the gun control capitol of the world. Or on the internet. Hell, his blogs comments are about 10 to 1 pro-gun.

Helmke was at my wedding.
Oh how I wish it had been a shotgun wedding. The ex post facto irony would be delicous.

So it apparently is his preference to have majority (a/k/a mob) rule, where the will of 50% or more citizens is imposed on the minority. This is supposedly fair. Nevermind that it’s exactly the kind of situation that our Constitution is supposed to prevent.
Majority rule is not just and is often times unjust. What should be strived for is a laissez fair government, where as long as you aren’t depriving someone else of life, liberty, or property you can pretty much do what you want.

I worry about his soul. He’s lost…wandering in corruption and darkness.
And all he has to do is open his eyes and walk out.
Pitiful.
