It's been a big week for the handful of gun control folk on DU. They are all excited again ... for about 15 minutes.
They had a few new people actually posting in the "desert" that is the other group.
They got some posts in GD for a few days, but even now everybody is drifting away again.
One of my favorites in GD was somebody all lathered up and demanding the repeal of the 2nd and eventual confiscation of all handguns.
I asked her what she was doing in the real world to make that happen, petitions, meetings with legislators, town halls? ... twice ... crickets. In fact I've asked most of our gun control fans that question and it always seems to bring any conversation to an abrupt halt. Or a storm of insult and invective about my penis size. You may have a different experience, but mine has been pretty consistent for almost a decade now. All mouth, no action.
After the now bookmarked posts we all took notice of this week, they can ever get away with the; "Nobody wants to take your guns" meme. The short answer is; "Of course they do, they're just too chicken shit to say it out loud most of the time."
Now we also see, once more, that they would ban any speech they don't agree with too. And a few of them would be perfectly willing to allow the forced seizure of guns (by somebody else with a gun of course) in our homes too.
So it's obviously not just guns and gun owners they hate, it's the insecurity of not being able to defend yourself rhetorically as well and a willingness to throw any amendment or law under the bus that gets in the way of their moral superiority..
The irony is some of these hypocrites actually have Sig Lines that proudly espouse their belief in the 1st or 5th amendments. But based on their posts, it's pretty obvious they'd scrub them too if it meant being able to get back at all those evil gun owners.
