Herschel Smith on Gottlieb and "pragmatism" -- There is a stir among gun rights advocates – or at least, presumed gun rights advocates. On the one hand, there are the open carriers and opponents of I-594 and their advocates in the state of Washington (and other places like Texas and New York where even Sheriffs are recommending that your thrown your SAFE act pistol permit recertification invitation in the garbage), and on the other hand are Alan Gottlieb, Dave Workman, Bob Owens (who seems like a late comer to the pragmatic approach), and many of their readers.
There is an intensely moral element to control of this sort. Gun control is evil, a sign and symptom of wicked rulers.

Well said, and ALL too true....
Sign me, Neal Jensen
Bob Owens these days seems less interested in writing about gun rights than he does writing in defense of police shooting people. recently I had to ask myself "damn has there EVER been a shooting by police in the history of law enforcement that this guy DIDNT think was justified?"
My world view is this:
I have as much right to shoot you as you have to shoot me.
Whoever initiates the aggression (by way of physical threat for WHATEVER REASON- taxes, rape, murder, theft... pardon the redundancy) is the culpable party.
His death by my hand, in self defense, should I righteously prevail, is of no further consequence to a just society.
Poll question that needs to be put to the American people-
Do you support gun control or crime control?
Bob Owens wants to keep getting his pay check!
It's good having a job Bob but is it worth the price of your soul?
