Shooting Blanks

Barack Obama wears twin holsters. After hours with Michigan Democrats. Yesterday's echoes. Plus more.

The anti-gun people have a pathway that is well defined. They see guns as attack weapons rather than defensive weapons. This causes them to want to ban all firearms. Realizing that they cannot get that done all at once, they choose a group that they feel is easiest to reason with and tell that group (hunters and sportsmen) that they have “no intention” of depriving them of their sport by confiscating their guns.

This has worked well for them in the past. Remember that intrepid duck hunter John Kerry, and his Elmer Fudd-like performance in the run up to the 2004 election? It is obvious that these gun grabbers do not see the statistics that show how much gun violence gun ownership and carrying prevent.

p>If I thought for one moment that ALL guns could be collected, from both good citizens and criminals alike, I would agree with their confiscation. That pipe dream is fodder for fools. I always tell these anti-gunners to look to Washington D. C. It has the strictest gun laws in the nation and also about the highest rate of gun crime. br> — Joseph Baum br> Garrettsville, Ohio /p>

Don’t bother pointing out Obama’s voting record. Don’t bother pointing out Obama’s pandering. Don’t bother pointing out Obama’s double standard on bigotry. Don’t bother pointing out Obama’s “misspeaks” on whether or not he heard his pastor’s hate-speech. Don’t bother pointing out Obama’s exaggerations about his being a professor. Don’t bother pointing out Obama’s two staff people who said things outside of the campaign that was opposite to what he was saying.

Just don’t bother — Why?

p>BECAUSE NOBODY’S LISTENING. And you can’t force them to. br> — B. Chauvin
