The cartoon appears attached to an article by Dave Zweifel in Capital Times from Wisconsin which touts itself to be “Your Progressive Voice” (’nuff said right there.) Mr. Zweifel’s article bemoans the fact that the names of people with concealed carry permits are not available to them:
Ironically, the shielding of concealed carry permits from public inspection has been a major reason why the gun lobby has been able to claim that concealed carry laws have not caused any problems.
Ironically that is not the case. Many states do make available statistics of not only how many have been issued, age and sex of the CCWers but also how many have been suspended and for what reason. Across the board the result is always pretty much the same: People with Concealed Carry Permits are much more Law Abiding than the general population and leagues ahead than many governmental entities.
Now on to Ladd. The Former ACORN intern in charge of the Facebook page claims that the NRA is against the rest of the Bill of Rights. Now that is downright pitifully funny considering that CSGV and most of the Gun Control groups constantly erases any comments that go contrary to their position or reveal their lies and bans whomever posts those “awful” posts; no Freedom of Speech for You!. CSGV et all are also against Gun Shows so there goes the Freedom of Assembly! For the love of me, I cannot remember when the NRA interfered with a news organization or passed a law against the press.. unless you count when they have confronted and taken to task irresponsible news organizations for fabricating stories in order to shed a negative lies on gun ownership.
The same goes for the rest of the list. But Wisconsonites should not worry; even CSGV knows that this time next year or a bit longer there will be a news item buried in the same Capital Times “Your Progressive Voice” saying that “contrary to expectations, there has not been an increase in shootings, no blood running down the streets and no gangs acquiring gun permits to further their crimes and that they cannot explain why.” They will not tell you that the only ones expecting mayhem were them because we already knew it was not gonna happen.
They are anti-freedom, not Anti-Gun. These are the same people who will ban knives, trans-fats, salt, mandate workplace uniforms.
They detest freedom, and guns upset them the most because when they set out to micro-manage out adult lives, and we say “No”, the gun backs that up.
Taken right out of Josef Goebbels’ playbook; repeat a lie until enough fools believe it. Our enemies have no interest in the truth or intellectual honesty. They want what they want and any way they can get it is fair game.
Ladd has also professed a belief that people who speak against the (current) administration should be executed as traitors and endorses a law that violates due process in favor of secret gov’t lists.
Severe case of projection.
Funny, it is the Second Amendment that allows us to keep and use all of our other enumerated rights shown in the political cartoon.
If government officials or a “liberal/progressive” does not want me to peacefully assemble, speak my mind, seek redress for grievances, or expect equal justice and due process, they are dissuaded from use of violent force if I may be armed.
That is the essence of the Second Amendment. It rules out physical coercion for many personal and political interactions. You know the quote…An armed society is a polite society.
In contrast, I see unions organizing violent protests and suppressing some of their members voices by contributing endlessly to Democrats.
