Did Ignorance or Flawed Ethics Kill Jill Porter's Credibility?

Did guns or a flawed justice system kill Sgt. Liczbinski?

Actually, Jill, a depraved animal did. But what did Mr. Pynchon say about asking the wrong questions?

Here's the part I'd really like to address, though:
Some of the folks who think that the Second Amendment is sacrosanct have little regard for other provisions of the Bill of Rights.
I've seen this baseless insinuation creep up in other places, on forums, in comments, in anti-defense editorials, which leads to the conclusion it is an intentionally planted diversionary tactic, and the bottom line, Jill, is you have no truthful basis to make such a claim. So are you doing it out of ignorance, or are you intentionally lying?

If you're going to go there, Jill, square it with the FACT that the NRA joined forces with the ACLU, the AFL-CIO and others in leading the fight for free political speech and equal protection.

Square it with JPFO being a national gun rights organization that has proposed and continues to promote efforts to "reestablish a Bill of Rights culture."

Square it with GOA denouncing edicts that have the effect that "legal aliens somehow enjoy fewer Fourth Amendment protections against search and seizure than other residents in this country".

Square it with established positions of the Libertarian and Constitution parties.

None of this is new, Jill, and it took me literally under three minutes to find all of it. If I really rolled my sleeves up, I could bury you with references, but the point is made.

I do wonder if there's a bit of projection going on. Because the ones who routinely allow for the erosion and subversion of our rights and freedoms are proponents of the Leviathan state. Like you, Jill.

Anyone who spreads the outrageous falsehood that RKBA-supporting Americans disparage the whole Bill of Rights, or indeed, the entire Constitution, is quite simply and demonstrably a liar.

Like you, Jill?

Very tiresome, people insinuating or flatly stating that we are the New Nazis and if we win, we'll rule with an iron hand, when all we want is to be left alone.
The Southern Poverty Law Center says it, the Jewish Anti-Defamation League...
Yes, World War II atrocities as well as more recent ones are still in living memory. These people willfully ignore how those atrocities were enabled by pacifism and believing that authoritarians in government know best.
Americans have the advantage of seeing all that has gone before. As you say, David, three minutes of research...

Here's another one: "I'd like to know because it would be more productive to debate facts than philosophies.

Oh, really? Facts without underlying, supporting philosophies are nothing more than disconnected dicta, appropos of nothing at all. Like the "facts" that Hitler and Mussolini made trains run on time, and Hideki Tojo was a doting grandfather. Yeah, so what?

Appeasers, collaborators, and apologists are all we get from news organizations anymore. No significant news, no investigative reporting, no watchdog press. Just appeasers, collaborators, and apologists.

PHILOSOPHICALLY, Chamberlain and Quisling are alive and well.

So nice when you can characterize millions of people by what "some of the folks" think.
