Name calling? David, like you've never called anyone names either? This seems like a bit of pot/kettle/black to me.

PS: my captcha was "promag" which was awesome.

Only when the target has demonstrated the truth of the matter, Elgee. You can't see the difference? You think this is simply moral equivalency in action, and that both sides have equal merit, that this is simply an honest difference of opinion?

Helmke calls politicians who don't support his citizen disarmament "extremists" because they're not as "centrist" as Mike Castle. That's a lie, and his use of the term "extremist" is meant to sway public opinion to politically subvert rights.

He lies because that's all he's got. The truth, demonstrated time after time, is that guns in moral hands save lives and protect freedom. Guns in the hands of a state monopoly of violence produce misery. And "gun control" does not achieve its stated aims, but instead punishes the innocent and hinders their ability to exercise their rights as free and sovereign human beings.

If I call some idiot emotion-driven mother a ninny because she's prattling on about feeling safe by disarming everyone, there's a justification, because it accurately describes how she's behaving.

If Helmke calls a politician an extremist because they disagree with him, there's not.
