Misfire, part III

Much of owen's blog attacking the perfectly reasonable proposition that the West Bend Library be off-limits to concealed carry of deadly weapons hinges around a slippery-slope argument. It is tricky to understand, but seems to go like this: "I have a preconceived idea of what the 2nd Amendment means, that it guarantees my individual right to carry a deadly weapon anywhere I want and any objections by the community are trumped by my individual right." Therefore, anyone who asks for just a little space to be left alone, the way it was, after the radical expansion of deadly weapons pushed on all of us by [i'm with stupid] is a tyrant seeking to limit freedom.

This is what passes for conservatism in West Bend. My freedom is dependent on my right to carry a deadly weapon at all times and in all places. That is how they do things in texas apparently, where owen is from. So it follows to ask the question why so many Wisconsin natives take this foreigner with radical ideas seriously? It should also be noted that the freedom of speech these radicals scoff at for anyone protesting the radical inequality or other injustices in our society is taken very seriously when making anonymous ad hominem attacks on their enemies.

If owen saw this, I'm sure he'd just wave his hand if confronted and dismiss it as "not what he believes" but this is your side's doing buddy, own it. Given the rigid structure of gun-maniacs beliefs about deadly weapons, I imagine they would be hard-pressed to disagree with rep. Allen "80 card-carrying communists in congress" West's recent statement that government should force everyone to buy a deadly weapon or be "taxed."




Face it owen, your side and your beliefs about guns are ridiculous. If your logic says you should be able to carry a gun anywhere, especially when children are around, then get on board with this massive, "liberal" expansion of government.

I for one will contine to enjoy the ability to walk down the street unarmed. "When being unarmed is outlawed..." Owen and all the gun-maniacs always seem to forget that if they can carry and everything up to actually pulling the trigger is legal, it goes both ways. The "bad guys" they seem to fear almost as much as paying a cent more in taxes, will enjoy that right too. Show me an instance where more guns meant less crime. When your beloved ronald reagan was shot he was surrounded by some of the best-trained gunmen in the world, it didn't stop the guy.
