Heh, So William Buster left yet another rambling comment. Its loaded with emotional hand-wringing, Passive-Aggressive ad-hominem, and outright lies…not to mention what appears to be a vague dig about not being open minded….sorry bub, talk is cheap and the evidence is in my corner, nice try. And of course some conspiratorial nonsense about lone-wolf lobbyists imposing their extreme views on states, town, and federal government. Uh Huh… The only thing worth note is this load of crap:
Where is the gun lobby after crimes? Shouting for more guns. Helpful. Somehow, the mother of my dead brother in law, shot through the head, don’t find comfort, or even recognition from gun lobby when the awful happens, not just in the press. There are so many deaths you don’t hear of. There is little demonstrated, expressed concern over protecting the lives of people caught in gun violence, by people who have “legally” bought guns, because the laws are shit.
The quotes around “Legally” make it. You’ll note his whole screed (as well as blog, and likely his entire existence) is heavy on emotion, and fallacy, and light (to the point of non-existence) on facts. Care to share with us where the gun lobby does this? Care to show me where the gun lobby. Care to share with us the story behind your Bother-in-law’s death? I mean you talk a lot about how your brother-in-law was killed with a gun, but how true is that?
Recently there was a multiple murder in Boston Were these people killed by a gun, or were they killed by a convicted violent criminal who was allowed to walk the streets? Were they killed by a gun, or were they killed because of their involvement in illegal drug dealing? Care to share with me how the Gun lobby in Massachusetts is supporting a convict dealing drugs, possessing guns illegally, and committing murder?
Do you have proof of these things, or are your feelings enough? It wasn’t a gun that killed your Brother-in-law, Bill, and it certainly wasn’t me, or people who represent me Locally or nationally. Maybe you need to give this a solid read.
Oh another thing you should read are the responses to your disjointed comments. For my readers, I’ll politely ask you to leave the ball in Bill’s court. Bill needs to grow-up, or get out. This is a blog for adult discussion, and a 47-year-old acting as a petulant child, is no different than a 7-year old acting the same. You’ve gotten your freebies, Bill. Join the discussion, or hide in the shadows. My blog is not your soap box for your insane and illogical ramblings. Further discussion and debate will be welcomed, mindless rants will be treated appropriately, as Spam.
Thanks for playing!
**UPDATE** While writing this post I was listening to the latest Handgun Podcast, Eric was nice enough to give me not one, but two shout-outs in this week’s episode, but that’s not relevant here. What IS relevant to this post is that he mentions that the call for personal arms, the call to carry them, and the call for training from the pro-rights side is simply stating that you are the only defense you can depend on. When seconds count police are minuets away, and when danger strikes the Anti-Rights advocates want you to be helpless, while the pro-rights side wants you to fight and wants you to live.
That statement really put a little more fire in my belly. Where are you, Bill, after gun violence strikes? Where are you when in your gun-control Metropolis of New York somebody gets raped, mugged, or murdered?
Gun control laws don’t work, and have been proven for decades not to work. That’s why I can’t support them.
