I almost fainted when I saw this tweet in my feed.
HOLY CRAP! Old heads will remember when Ladd quoted from a paper by Carl T. Bogus (not joking, that is the name) titled Heller and Insurrectionism.
The most significant aspect of District of Columbia v. Heller is the Court’s pronouncement that the Founders intended to guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms. But there is another idea lurking in the Court’s opinion with potentially great ramifications of its own: the idea that the Founders gave us a right to keep and bear arms as an ultimate check against governmental tyranny. This is an insurrectionist theory because it legitimizes a right of the people to be armed, potentially to go to war against their own government.
…this essay is a plea that the Court reconsider its endorsement of insurrectionism.
Ladd latched to this concept for years. You supported the Second Amendment? You were an evil insurrectionists. and had no issue quoting this paper.
You can go have fun of the exchange LC Soctty had with Ladd and how he defended some very indefensible things. A now retired Gun Blogger went as far as creating patches commemorating CSGV’s stupidity:
No, they are no longer available and yes, I have mine as a duly “appointed” (By CSGV) insurrectionist.
And you will see it as a joke, but Ladd and his minions got tired of reporting us as dangerous criminals to Twitter and the authorities. Still back then Twitter was not still in the full Soviet shit, Twitter Gulag was in its infancy and shadowbanning was not even a concept. We were hated then as we and you are now.
But it is nice to see Ladd coming around and giving us the proper respect…even if accidentally.
I don’t want to boogaloo because I want Trump to be POTUS forever.
I want to boogaloo because Cuomo killed thousands and murdered our economy and will get away with it.
Projection, once again. Ladd’s soulmates would be delighted if The Most Padishah Emperor, Barak I of Where-Everland could rule into eternity.
Like most lefties, he supports violence and threats against public officials when it’s his side doing it.
The 2nd amendment is our license to kill tryants
Well he’s not totally wrong. Those armed protesters want the economy to open back up. If they get the economy open and it starts rolling, then the likely hood of Trump wining in November goes way up. If the economy stays closed down, it is much harder to run on “Until I shut the economy down, it was the best ever!”
The dems are going to paint the economy, if it is doing poorly as Trumps fault. And that is going to resonate with those that are already of the mind that it is Trumps fault that the democratic governors of NY, IL and CA shut down their states.
All good flows from the Dem, all bad flows from the Repubs. Just ask any Dem.
