Newtown
Some reflections:
One Rhode Island professor issued a call — later deleted — for NRA head Wayne LaPierre’s “head on a stick.” People like author Joyce Carol Oates and actress Marg Helgenberger wished for NRA members to be shot. So did Texas Democratic Party official John Cobarruvias, who also called the NRA a “terrorist organization,” and Texas Republican congressman Louis Gohmert a “terror baby.”
Nor were reporters, who are supposed to be neutral, much better. As The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg commented, “Reporters on my Twitter feed seem to hate the NRA more than anything else, ever. ”
Calling people murderers and wishing them to be shot sits oddly with claims to be against violence. The NRA — like the ACLU, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers or Planned Parenthood — exists to advocate policies its members want. It’s free speech. The group-hate directed at the NRA is ugly and says ugly things about those consumed by it.
As with most things that Leftists call people, when they call them “haters,” it’s projection.
Totalitarianism And Mass Murder
Want to know how it happens? It starts like this:
“I have always been opposed to the death penalty in all cases…”
“Even mass murderers [like Breivik] should not be executed, in my opinion.”
“GW deniers fall into a completely different category from Behring Breivik. They are already causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of future people. We could be speaking of billions, but I am making a conservative estimate.”
Once one is declared an enemy of the people, all becomes possible.

The “Assault” On Logic And Facts
…by the Left and the media (but I repeat myself) continues.
Internet Cartooning
An interesting article on the changing business model.
If You Wouldn’t Trust A Teacher With A Gun
Why would you trust them alone with small children?
The left has become completely deranged over guns.
Because it’s not about guns. It’s, as always, about control. As long as we keep our guns, they know they’ll never get it.
Curbing Gun Violence
…by legalizing drugs.
It will never happen though, because they won’t give up the opportunities for graft.
Some Opinions On Gun Control
A lot of people have them, but Larry Correia’s are particularly worth reading, for those willing to be rational on the subject.
Post Newtown
The witch hunt begins.
It’s very clear that the accusations of law-abiding gun owners is just more leftist projection. They are emotionally violent and hate their enemies and want them dead, and so they imagine that everyone else is just like them.
