Let’s see one
Some crybaby who deletes comments that dont make nicey-nice with her worldview:
I could show hundreds of statistics on why tough gun control laws should be strictly enforced, …
Then why didn’t you?
but the best argument is that one child’s death is too many.
Trouble finding those statistics, must appeal to emotion.

That brief on the Chicago gun policy included this lovely statistic:

you don’t need stats! If. Just. One. Child. Dies.

OK, so if one child’s life is saved by a CCW use then we should make sure the law protects our right to carry correct? We should all be able to legally carry for the children according to their logic.

Our pastor just returned from Malawi (Africa for the Trolls) and in that country only 10% of the children live to adulthood. Adults daily need to make descisions envolving survival that could doom one or all of their children. (For the trolls, if you die and your child is younger than maybe 10, how long would they survive?)
We are not talking about missing a star bucks to save the child, but do I have enough food to share, or water. Very basic stuff.
Where is the outrage over that? Here in the country were even the poorest have a tv, car, roof and food?
Until you can explain that to me, do not presume to judge whether I should be allowed to have a firearm.

Ms. Lawyer Lady needs to learn how to spell if she’s going to make fun of us.

Well, I left a happy little comment pointing out that if her feelings were really hurt by harassment, ridicule, and name-calling, she should really refrain from harassing, ridiculing, and calling names at other webloggers elsewhere on her own weblog.
My comment disappeared in less than an hour.
Kind of impressive reaction time, really.
February 6th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
yeah. i wonder what kind of blogger has to delete comments that hurt their wittle feewings. or worldviews. sad, really.

Swimming pool owners don’t constitute the threat to Marxist power that gun owners do. The commie libs have a gun ban agenda to advance for a reason – they’re going to need it to do all the nasty little things they want to do us.

Amazing.
They’re calling for safe storage laws in California where such laws are already in place. It’s on the Brady Campaign’s website for crying out loud! California’s their top rated state.

Markie Marxist sez: “If we Marxists can use the death of even one child, to disarm all private gun owners and establish absolute control over every individual American, it’s worth it.”

Amazingly enough, she left a comment on my weblog. I was probably too harsh in my response, but she has been sitting on my site, refreshing periodically for the past two hours. Not entirely sure what she expects…

Linoge – Not too harsh at all. I left a response on your blog as well.
SayUncle – She really is pretty sad. If she couldn’t handle our comments I can’t imagine what she’d think of some of the nasty shit anonymous commenters have left on my blog.
I’m still waiting on those statistics she claims she has…….

And this is precisely why they push the ‘Fairness Doctrine’, and will eventually try to extend it to the internet. In any arena where they face facts and logic, they lose. If they can’t win fairly, they are more than willing to cheat.

…one child’s death is too many.
I hate that argument. You can justify anything with that unlogical statement. More kids die from bicycle accidents. Auto accidents are the most common form of accidental death for kids.

Well, they can try it, but they’ll have their ass handed to them…not just by folks on the pro-freedom side. Plus, it goes both ways. Can you image having to open comments on the anti-gunner blogs? They’d shut them down first. They’ve already implemented the “reasoned discourse” fingers in the ears to reality and comments.
What they’ll do first is eliminate anonymity. You saw what happened when someone on the “right” questioned the new boss on taxes, they immediately dove into the government databases to discredit him. No debunking, just personal attacks. Then you run into the crime it will cause. Criminals know who doesn’t own a gun, or can reasonably assume from their posts or whatnot.
Of course you also get into the broadcast vs published issue. I’m fairly certain at least one court case has determined posting something online is publishing, not broadcasting. Now we’ve got leverage to open it up to print media, papers and books.
Just some food for thought when contacting folks, to give them the usual answer to more laws, “NO!” and a few reasons why they won’t get the web or print involved. At first.
They’ll drive radio and TV to the web then come in here jackboots gleaming and start ruining things all over again thinking they just didn’t regulate enough to create our utopia.

“I hate that argument. You can justify anything with that unlogical statement.”
True, but this woman’s too close-minded to ever be able to grasp that.
