Kori Schake isn’t impressed.

Doctors And Guns
Why doctors shouldn’t ask their patients about them, let alone be required by the government to do so.
Obama’s Un-American Beliefs
The NRA has higher approval than him because his (and the “progressives”‘) views are out of the mainstream.

The bigotry behind the push for gun control:
We notice two things these three men have in common. First, there is no indication any of them have ever misused a gun, either accidentally or deliberately–in contrast to Marshall’s correspondent, who nonetheless evinces a smug sense of his own superiority over them.
Second, they all have eccentric political views, which Marshall’s correspondent seems to think is an argument for taking away their guns. Never mind the Second Amendment, do these guys even respect the First?
Not really. They just pay lip service.
A Plague On The Earth
That’s what misanthrope extremist David Attenborough thinks of humanity.
I suspect he also wants to confine the infection to a single planet.
And as always, my advice to such people is to lead by example.

Here’s another person who should lead by example. Paul Ehrlich, who’s been wrong about pretty much all of his predictions for forty years, says that no one has a right to twelve, or even three children.
Obama’s Position On Gay Marriage
Not that that distinguishes it from any other topic on which he discourses.
Benghazi
Was it Fast and Furious on steroids?
It’s a theory that seems to fit the available evidence.
Obama’s “Progressive” Vision
A world without political opposition.
It’s always ultimately the way of “progressives.” After all, what sane person would oppose “progress”? They can’t be allowed to stand athwart history.
It’s Not Just The Law Schools
Too many students chasing too few jobs. Any other industry that was so deceptive and manupulative, and offered such a poor value for the money, would be excoriated by the media, if not subject to actual civil and criminal lawsuits.
Electronic Medical Records
So far, so bad. And Ezra Klein, to the surprise of no one intelligent, comes off as a fool.
Gun Clubs At Schools
As Glenn notes, this is about oikophobia, even though it’s as, or more, important for kids to learn about the proper use and handling of guns as it is for them to learn to drive, particularly considering that the former is a fundamental constitutional right. As Glenn notes, this insane “gun-free zone” and “zero tolerance” policies have been a horrific failure.
I wonder if drum and bugle corps still carry the wooden rifles, as they did when I was in high school? Or is that too “terroristic“? More and more, it seems like sending your kids to a public school constitutes parental malpractice.

Why are anti-gun activists so violent? as Glenn says, maybe the people we need to keep guns away from are elected Democrats.

Related: the loving, tolerant Left:
Over the last few years, I’ve heard the left talk about how hateful conservatives can be. Being a libertarian, there have been plenty of occasions where I disagreed with conservatives in discussions on social issues, but I’ve never at any moment gotten to the point where they were berating me or wishing harm upon me.
Needless to say, I’m strongly considering sending this one to the police since the e-mail address, which I’ve left off the post, is from a legitimate account.
They don’t want us to have guns because they project and think that we’re as violent and deranged as they are.
