Oh, you mean almost exclusively of white men from suburban and rural areas
Gettin’ their bigotry on. The sponsor of the PA gun bills that failed Rep. Jewell Williams, D-Philly, said,
The yahoos win again.
“And by the way, Michelle, my wife, she was traveling up, I think, in eastern Iowa, she was driving through this nice, beautiful area, going through all this farmland and hills and rivers and she said ‘Boy, it’s really pretty up here,’ but she said, ‘But you know, I can see why if I was living out here, I’d want a gun. Because, you know, 911 is going to take some time before somebody responds. You know what I mean? You know, it’s like five miles between every house.’
“So the point is, though, we should be able to do that, and we should be able to enforce laws that keep guns off the streets in inner cities because some unscrupulous gun dealer is, you know, letting somebody load up a van with a bunch of cheap handguns or sawed-off shotguns and dumping them and selling them for a profit in the streets.”
So, it’s OK to arm us crackers!
Update: Jewell Williams lies to cover up his stereotyping ways.

Yeah, ’cause the cops in the “inner city” are so fast to respond – like 5 or 8 minutes, depending upon the city….

…load up a van with a bunch of sawed off shotguns? Does she have any idea what she’s talking about?

Maybe she meant that the dealers are letting them load up the van with a bunch of saws and shotguns.

For now. They can have their guns for now. That’s liberal thinking on rights. You can have them…. for now. But that will change once he gets office.

Uh, what do you think? I’ll say one thing for Barack and his old lady, they aint shy about advertising how stupid and bigoted they are.

5 miles between every house?! Jeez, have you even paid attention when you’ve been here? Iowa farmland is too valuable for anyone, or even a corporate farm, to own so many acres that it’s even 1 mile between houses! It just makes me wonder a bit what other ridiculous perceptions she has. The saddest part is that her husband is now leading among Dems in Iowa. Vote Richardson.
