Anti-violence activist’s ‘gun death’ shows cynical ‘progressive’ exploitation

Isn’t that just like Balkanizers, teabaggers and bitter clingers? Worried about protecting those not paying their “fair share” instead of joining in the blood dance over another “senseless child gun death”...? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the only thing more absurd than dead home-invading "anti-violence" pamphleteers on the state payroll is the fact that there's a critical mass of useful idiots who keep electing the criminals behind such outrages.

Now how about her persecutors?  Will there ever be justice for them?

Wouldn't they?

About Last Night

"Well, that was a win for neo-'libertarians,'" WarOnGuns Correspondent "Russn8r" remarked via email following the appearance last night by Congressional candidate Jess Loban on Armed American Radio. He was referring to an answer to one of Mark Walters' questions in re whether or not Loban feels his stance on immigration in any way conflicts with his stated support for the right to keep and bear arms.

He said "No," but ducked the specifics of "why not," particularly in light of an issue position statement he says diverges from the Libertarian line (but not by much if you look at it):

The cliché is true, we are a Nation of immigrants. Sections of our economy depend on the service and hard work of those who find their way into our borders. This work is done in secret and under duress for both the immigrant and the employer. I want to streamline the work visa system, and enable thousands of immigrants from all nations to gain a visa easily and quickly. I would also include a correction period for all employers and immigrants who have been working and living in the US outside of the law to become compliant with the new visa program. The tax base would be increased, expense of deportation and persecution would be decreased, stress and loss of life would be tremendously decreased. There are solutions, but we have to be willing to stop and realize what we are doing today is not an answer.

My position, a topic I've written about numerous times, is the same as GOA's, but I did not get a chance make it known on the air. Rather than repeat myself, I'm going to share the email Russn8r sent me after the broadcast:

"Find their way into our borders." 

"Correction period" for employers and "immigrants" who have been "outside the law".  

Good grief, what a double-talking...

Jess Loban dodged the real issues, hand-waving about allegedly being "more right" than the typical libertarian, and about how we need a workable "guest" worker program and how states should be allowed to enforce their borders... Unless the invaders manage to break in, and then they get amnesty -- er uh, I mean a "correction period". So what does his support for border enforcement mean? Nothing.  His answer was inconsistent with his website statement, and he doesn't explain how a "guest" worker program stops the native born citizenry's voting control of the USA from being overwhelmed by immigrants and their kids who will continue to vote overwhelmingly Democrat.

Would he limit legal immigration so that our votes are not overwhelmed?

Does he propose a true guest worker program where they really are guests and they have to go home?

If they're "guests" as opposed to guests who actually have to go home, would he make them second class citizens who can never vote, so that our votes are not overwhelmed?

Would he abolish birthright citizenship so that our votes are not overwhelmed by the children of the guests or "guests"?

That's not what his website says. 

Enquiring minds want to know. If he wants to address these questions, I'll post his answers. I would expect Russn8r to be watching, evaluating and weighing in, and I am not able to selectively soften his comments the way I just did to his email.

Capitalists Selling Rope

“This interested Eric Holder,” Gentry says. “He wondered how we might be able to control who was or wasn’t authorized. I stopped him right there. I looked right across a table at Eric Holder — yeah, the attorney general of the United States — and told him, ‘If you try to mandate my smart-gun technology, I’ll burn it down.’ The Intelligun is designed to save lives, not restrict freedom.” [More]

Yeah, except then he turns around and says "“Government be damned, we need this potentially life-saving technology.”

Minter's premise that this holds promise if only we can get the government and the antis to back off is perplexing, because he clearly groks the dangers. If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.

Until that piece of the equation gets figured out, and it'll take more than simplistic platitudes about "need[ing] truth to undo the spin," the only proper response from any gun owner who gives a damn about freedom is to boycott the hell out of any Quisling who proceeds to market.  And the fault for that lies totally with the monopoly of violence cultists.

NRO. Figures.
