See this Fox News article. It’s too sickening to Fisk.
If Maryland hadn’t outlawed guns, you wouldn’t have these outlaws doing what they’re doing. Because some caring, carrying citizen would have popped them by now. (Maybe if they had headed for Virginia…and they may have, so what was wrong with you gun nuts in Fredericksburg?)
Well, OK, a little fisking. Ehrlich and Townsend are, respectively, the Republican and Stupid (er, DemocRATic) candidates for governor in Maryland.
Ehrlich and Townsend, who have been running about even in recent polls, appeared together Friday at a conference of the Maryland Municipal League in Annapolis.
Far, far from the field of battle, of course. Oh, and don’t forget: Townsend is a Kennedy.
“I’ve always been a strong supporter of getting assault weapons off the street, but today’s not a day to politicize the event,” Townsend said before the conference. “Today’s a day to pray for the victims.”
No. Today is a day to pray for the survivors. Since the survivors aren’t armed, they can’t protect themselves.
Ehrlich, who called on U.S. Attorney Thomas DiBiagio to step up prosecution of Baltimore gun violence in July, said the Montgomery shootings have nothing to do with gun control laws.
Gee. For a Republican, you’re pretty stupid; maybe you’ve been talking to Rep. Connie Morella, who’s barely a Republican herself but who represents Montgomery County. These murders have everything to do with gun control laws. Because a citizen can’t pack an equalizer to take on one of these fuckers, you’ve got every cop in the county out looking for them instead of the coroner cleaning up the mess from someone giving them a little of their own back.
“I think it’s time to reassess people who have guns who shouldn’t have them,” he said. “What we’ve been trying to do in this state hasn’t worked.”
Right. But the reassessment needs to be of citizens’ rights to defend themselves. And it needs to be positive to the extent of allowing concealed carry to Joe Blow who just wants to protect himself and his family.
And the Brady Campaign needs to kiss my ass and die the death of a thousand screams.
But now, bonne nuit, I have a sick wife to tend.
