Here’s a good reason why I don’t watch news on TV.
CNN’s Toobin Seems Puzzled by Difference Between a Gun and a Missile
Liberal CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin appeared on the Tavis Smiley show on PBS on Wednesday night, and Smiley focused on several “hot button” issues that were largely ignored in the general election: campaign finance reform, abortion, racial preferences, and gun control. Toobin insisted that Obama’s long list of small (and unidentified) donors suggests “there’s less risk of corruption, I think.” On Supreme Court picks, he said Obama will pick someone with liberal views on abortion and racial preferences, but insisted that Obama really matches Reagan appointee Sandra Day O’Connor’s views on race. On gun control, Toobin defined the struggle strangely, like he wasn’t very smart about weapons: “What’s the line between a handgun in D.C. and a surface-to-air missile? I think the courts are going to have to figure that out.”
Toobin is a fucking moron.
Nice op-ed here: (H/T Alphecca)
A letter to our President-elect
But we need more than hope about our guns. We have forgiven you your statement about “bitter gun owners” but we have not forgotten. Our guns are not just tools to us; neither are they simply self-protection devices. Guns are the symbols of our freedom. We understand that subjugation of a people begins with control of their individual weapons and we are not naïve enough to believe it could never happen here. We have taken Machiavelli to heart; to paraphrase, “An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.” We don’t forget, and will never forget, that throughout the history of this nation, guns have always been the final, literal guarantee of our freedom.
Don’t forget, the 19th is “Buy Ammo Day”.
I’ll be adding some buckshot to the supply.
