Schools and taverns and police stations and restaurants and kindergartens and government buildings and jails and airports (well, just past the security checkpoints; up to there they're OK) all are on the prohibited list.More snide innuendo and hysteria from a smarmy, bedwetting statist, but it does inadvertently illustrate the drawback of permits. Ceding this authority to the very people we are ultimately supposed to be able to protect ourselves from is so wrong, but we've been sold the bill of goods that this is "incremental progress."
So here's the question: If permit-holders are safe and reliable enough to be handed permits, why aren't they safe everywhere? Why can they not go into the federal courthouse in Madison, but they can wander into the Wausau Center mall or through the heart of downtown?...It's obvious that lawmakers aren't sure. They hope licensees will be trustworthy, but they're not willing to bet the lives of schoolchildren or cops on it. They're not willing to bet that one of these fine and upstanding citizens won't have one too many at the local watering hole and open fire.

Like one of our fine, upstanking citizens had one too many, drove off a bridge, let his pregnant girlfriend drown, then went home, called his LAWYER, cooked up a story, finally called the cops. Then, I noticed, a long time ago, the good freedom hating,gutless,unarmed,tax-swallowing citizens gave one of their own a pass on murder because he was one of their "royalty". Yep, we can't be trusted. Hey, Eddie, remember the Bastille?
ReplyDeleteWith apologies to the man's mother, is it possible to be any more of a stupid bastard than he is? I am assuming his stupidity and bastardy are both self inflicted.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't notice the people they care about are them? You may be trusted to carry where everybody but we, our children, and our armed servants are. We will brook no equality of value of life where we may not be able to avoid contact with the public.
He didn't notice that? What a stupid bastard!
