Reasoned Discoursetm pattern
Keep lining them up, and we’ll keep knocking them down:
This is a tiny event in the overall scheme of things, but the pattern appears to be holding:
1. Anti-gun blog announced amid much fanfare.
2. Anti-gun blog filled with embarrassingly misinformed misinformation.
3. Anti-gun blog closed for comments.
Lather, rinse, repeat. I guess they thought these swarms of anti-gunners would flock to the new sites and there would be this united front on which to engage. Sadly for them, there aren’t swarms of anti-gunners and they are incapable of engaging. Poor Robyn Ringler will only be left to write for the four anti-gun folks who read her blog.

“To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty. All silencing of discussion if an assumption of infallibility.” – Mill, ‘On Liberty’
