Hypocrisy or moment of clarity?
Either way, we win. Heh.
Update: this particular paragraph is quite amusing:
What a blueprint for a culture, that of the NRA. Paranoid people who imagine murderers and evil government agents are at every street corner, waiting to strike at innocents, and therefore arm themselves to the teeth, which legitimately terrifies their neighbors and helps produce exactly the kind of distorted world that the gun extremists believe already exists–i.e., a world in which everyone is deathly afraid of everybody else.
Yet, your anti-gun ilk want to arm up because they’re afraid of who? Loser.

Exactly.
They call it paranoid.
I call it prepared.

I need to find an anoymizer. I don’t want my IP anywhere near “IFingerMyAssMoreThanYouPullYourTrigger”‘s log files.
I’ll trust it’s as unhinged as his comments, though.

What’s funny, and I don’t mean “ha-ha” funny, is that many on the left who agree with the linked sentiment also subscribe to the “Truthers”…

“What a blueprint for a culture, that of the NRA.”
The NRA has been in existence since 1871. Pretty old blueprint.
As far as the Pants Wetters buying guns. Let them. Then they can jump through all the hurdles that we do and when they screw up, their can be judged by the laws that they helped pass.
Steve Bailey come to mind.

This is Alex’s MO – Build up the most ridiculous strawman possible and work himself into a feverish lather knocking it down. I keep telling him I’m not an NRA member and that doesn’t seem to have any affect. One would think someone with his superior intellect and college credentials could see the logical disconnect, but alas.
Oddly enough, I’m not afraid. I’m simply more aware. Makes it easier to enjoy life.

“any on the left who agree with the linked sentiment also subscribe to the “Truthers”…”
One thing I never understood about the extreme Left: they go on and on about how Amerika is worse than Nazi Germany and that they are about to be dragged off to camps, but they continue to insist that the very same Government, that they detest, should be the only ones with arms.
At least the far Right under Clinton was consistent. They hated the Government and were arming up.

Isn’t it “afraid of whom?”
I was never very good at gramar, but I think that was some bad.

Just checked his other blogs again. Now he has one dedicated to “Latino Immigration” which has the same silly crap his anti-gun one does.
Looks like someone just got ’em some tenure. 😛

Bet you won’t see anything about the gangs controlling Laredo, Texas and targetting families there. Oh, look, I was right.

I read the current posts on that loon’s site. Holy shit, what a perfect example of a warped mind. It’s hard to imagine someone so full of rage and hate, even when you understand that he has lost family members to violence committed with guns.

I suggested the Ruger Mk II or Glock 19 for any anti-gunfolks who need to protect themselves from the NRA. Unknown if he will post my comment.

I saw the reference to his sisters, but other than that, I haven’t seen anything about how guns ended their lives.
If that is the case, I hope he comes to terms.

No, I don’t imagine murderers around every corner. It only takes one. In all our years, I’ve never needed one and the woman I married only needed hers once. That’s all it takes. I can’t think of anyone I’ve met who has needed to deter more than one crime with a firearm. I can’t think of anyone who has needed a fire extinguisher more than once either.

Yeah, it was only implied, but I figured it didn’t matter. Apparently he’s crazed with the losses whether they were from suicide, being at the wrong bank robbery at the wrong time, or a range accident. Who knows what “gunism” is in his mind. And you know he’ll claim the details of the incidents don’t matter, since it’s the vile culture of us ‘gunists’ that causes it all.
August 29th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Actually, a lack of specific incidents leads me to believe that they are more like, uh, fantasies.
