Another alternate universe heard from. "Gun nuts are terrorizing America: The watershed moment everyone missed."

"From Cliven Bundy defeating the cops to "open carry" movement's menace, the left's timidity has spawned a nightmare."

"Armed force trumped law. Armed force trumped politics. Which is, of course, for a citizen of a republic, the opposite of patriotism: The more people who believe that — and more and more are believing it every day — the more irrelevant the Constitution these people claim to revere becomes." What a totally braindamaged asshat!

""By “us,” I mean Democrats — though the kind of Democrats, to be fair, who decide party policy from Washington."" This is the only true statement in the entire trash piece. I think I just threw up in my mouth.

I read Perlstein's garbage last night, and the comments following. It is clear that we have millions of crazies in this country who hate guns and gun owners and are perfectly willing to try and take "inalienable rights" away from those with whom they disagree politically.

It is no longer a question of whether or not we are going to have to "fight them" but only a question of WHEN! As Mike said in his speech in TX last weekend, a fight is inevitable. No amount of reason or logic is going to change any of their minds. The only weapon we have, that might work, is "force" when they finally push us into the last corner!

Just for the record, nothing printed in Salon is worthy of any of us bothering to read, nor would I even line the parakeet cage with it.

Now why in the hell would you allow them to decide your actions, timing and tactics?

Unless you wanted to lose...

So, Mr. Perlstein, who is going to disarm us? You? Diane Feinstein? Bill Maher? Huff and puff all you want. It is the sign of your leftist, tantrum-based helplessness. When the time comes, you and your ilk will not be taken down by some gun-owning patriot. You will be pulled out of your Escalade or Mercedes by some "deprived inner-city youths" and shot to death in the street with some stolen, unregistered pistol. It will be a fitting end to all of you Hillary-worshiping metrosexuals.

Typical leftist doublespeak article that paints Jerad Miller as a right wing Teaparty "radical gun nut" when in reality he was a leftist commie Obama supporting drugged out liberal Las Vegas PD paid informant nut. Of course in Barry Soeteros version of 1984 otherwise known as Obamanation, the leftist commie Obama loving nutcase spree killers like Chris Dorner, Jerad Miller, Jarad Laughner, Adam Lanza, Aaron Alexis, etc etc... are actually right wing Teaparty gun nuts. Facts, experience and reality notwithstanding the leftists will stay on point. Doubleplusgood comrade!

I think using a Doonesbury comic strip from the 1970's to argue for gun control, and the dialogue in it to give an example of what "gun nuts" are really like, is what we should expect from the left. Mythical situations, mythical conversations, mythical responses. Making up something to be outraged about just feeds their daily fantasy.

I have become fond of this saying:

"Assume for a moment that everything you accuse us of being is true. That just makes your problem a whole lot bigger, doesn't it?"

He should go back and review one of Hollywood's greatest epics: "Gone With the Wind". In particular the scene where "Captain Butler" explains the folly of going to war without any means to produce armaments or ammunition.

Capitalist Eric said...

The article is- honestly- a *hoot.* Hilarious, though unintentionally so. The author claims to be a historian yet clearly understands NONE of the historical context regarding the 2A, or the quiet and implacable resolve that current gun owners exhibit.

Further, said "historian" fails to recognize the fact that all governments fail when they lose the consent of the people.

In every way that matters he has learned nothing of history's lessons. When he can no longer feed himself as a "historian," he'll have to find a better use of his talents... perhaps as a pastry chef.

Salon.com. LOL

Those socialist pussies are afraid of freedom. Absolutely terrified of it.

Yeah, I wouldn't get too concerned about this bootlicker's whining.

Have you seen this steaming pile? She seems to see the civil war implications, but seems to like the idea:

Do we have the ATF and BLM agents roll up in armored tanks? Do we use drone strikes? . . . And then we do have the militia types all over the country, just waiting for an excuse to start their own local uprising. These assholes want a civil war so bad, they can taste it.

Some days, I wonder: Should we let them, and just get it over with? You know, settle the burning question about whose is bigger.

Wrong! The "lefts" aggressive tactics of robbing people of individual rights has spawned a nightmare for THEMSELVES. With more and more people waking up the "left" is starting to lose ground. It's called the law of unintended consequences and the "left" is getting a crash course on it.

That First Shot has already been fired. That day at the Bundy Ranch, yes it was fired and the Tyrants backed down, knowing the other side had the FIREPOWER. That's all they understand. The bullet never left the chamber, but mark my words, IT IS COMING and there is no stopping it. Arm Up America to protect your family and yourself.

reading the comments at the salon and crooksandliars stories should be more than enough to convince anyone that these lefties are totally committed to their opposition to private gun ownership. they don't seem very good at explaining the "why" of their position, but somehow they got the idea into their little pumkin heads that they will be safer after total gun confiscation (if they survive the process)."if we totally confiscate guns, then the only gun crimes will be committed by criminals", needs a little more looking into how that plays out. good thing is, none of them own guns. wouldn't have one if you gave it to them. that will work out well when their cities start to burn. would they be grateful if some of us go in and pull them out? or will we make smores?
