Hungering for Tyranny

The family of a north Dublin man gunned down in front of his stepson vowed to go on hunger strike today unless their concerns were acknowledged.

Donna Kinsella, whose brother Lee was murdered in May, is demanding that Minister for Justice Michael McDowell toughen gun and bail laws.
Donna, do you really want to vest that kind of power in one man?

Look for attention-seeking cud-chewers on this side of the pond to pick up on this surefire media hysteria generator technique.

Mr. Kinsella does his own argument in when he claims "the gun amnesty won't work and the kind of people who have guns won't turn them in." He is right of course, because with few exceptions (the only ones and such) only criminals possess handguns in Ireland. Handgun ownership is effectively outlawed. Mr. Kinsella should really be going on hunger strike in order acquire the arms needed to beat back the hordes of thugs terrorizing Ireland.

Personally, I wish ALL anti-gunners would go on a hunger strike; maybe that would clear out the gene pool a bit...
