Opposition to Ohio gun shop based on ignorance, prejudice

That none of the complainers need prove they know the first thing about guns, gun shops, gun shop clientele and the statistical significance of nearby hoagie shops, bars, day care centers, school drop-offs and houses to create any kind of public safety concern, other than what their own prejudices conjure up, has not been questioned. Their unprovoked anger is entirely self-created, and to imply their peaceable neighbors will lawfully patronize a gun store and then do something evil because a tavern or a day care are nearby is, frankly, insulting, and not worthy of a response except to return such disrespect in kind.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes if all it takes to keep a gun store from opening are three indignant hoplophobes and an airhead reporterette spooking a trough-feeding careerist, then maybe it's time to show Her Honor some real anger.

We're the Only Ones Doing Our Best Enough

Milton Police Chief Richard G. Wells Jr., who sits on the state’s Southeast Regional Homeland Security Advisory Council, called voting to buy one of the BearCats that was on the scene “one of the best things I’ve ever done.” [More]
Yeah, we noticed.

How could we not?  You unleashed nine of those beasts.

A knowledgeable opponent--not the inexperienced loser located by a homeowner going outside for a smoke that all your king's BearCats and all your king's men missed in their Constitution-trampling frenzy--would be able to exploit such reliance on overkill, and would probably find an advantage in encouraging you to apportion even more of your resources toward the procurement, staffing and maintenance of such costly misapplications of technology.

Ain't it something-- this from a government that would deny semiautomatics to We the People using the platitude that weapons of war don't belong on our streets.

Always Suspected This Guy Was a Flake


I guess doing something useful in exchange for all that gun owner support, like maybe leading the charge to repeal phony gun free zones, is beyond you, Jeff? [Read]

At least "pond scum" has a vital, life-promoting purpose. All betrayers and oath breakers do is destroy.

What makes you think you can afford to lose supporters?  And what the HELL makes you think Arizona "progressives" are going to change their opinion of you if you make this concession, which, by the way,  isn't yours to give them?
