“But I understand that not everyone has a sense of humor. It’s a sign of intelligence, you know. ” – Yes, R., your wit and intellect certainly jump off the page.

Kumbayah, dude.

Why is this issue always about all one way or all the other?

Well, you see the second amendment to the constitution is all one way. “….shall not be infringed.” Doesn’t leave any room for negotiating a compromise of right. A compromise of principal is a violation of principle. Where principle is not at risk, compromise can be a means of moving all to a better place. But when principle is compromised, it is simply wrong, 100%.

Look at it like this, l don’t have all the money I want. You work hard for yours. You don’t want me to rob you of your money. But I deem it more common sense if we compromise and we agree for me just to rob you a little bit. There, don’t you feel better now knowing you have bowed to good sense and good faith and compromised. Of course, once I know you won’t defend your principle absolutely, I’ll be back to compromise some more in a little bit.

Just for the record.

But thanks for not reading. Seriously. You are clearly not our target audience. There are plenty of other more compatible blogs for you to read and comment on that will be far more to your liking.

And mainly I just wanted an excuse to write that paragraph about Bloomberg’s SWAT squads and Hillary’s secret gun registry. But I understand that not everyone has a sense of humor. It’s a sign of intelligence, you know.

Uh, sure. That’s why you care about who he’s allying himself with instead of what he’s trying to accomplish. That’s why commenter “chris” said, well, everything he said.

With very few exceptions, both sides seem to be unable to compromise, and even when a side makes a moderate move, it’s attacked. It’s silly.

Why do you link to R. Neal?

He calls Steve Gill an uber-wingnut, like he himself is middle of the road.

Note that he refers to Insty as a gunblog (like it’s some kind of bad thing).

He’s the main reason I don’t read Knoxviews, watch the alphabet news, read NYT, etc.

I just can’t read a bunch of anti-gun, socialist blather.

Our only interest is in fighting crime — and we are determined to win. The polarizing rhetoric of gun politics on all sides only obscures the tragic reality we see every day on our streets: violent criminals with easy access to firearms.

Even our more liberal friends can understand what is meant by “easy access to firearms”. It means for those of you in downtown Knoxville on the sixth floor that the intent is to make it very difficult to have access to purchase firearms.

Late for Dinner is way off on this one. Mayor Haslam will wear this around his neck during the next election.
