As long as anyone can turn a buck by whipping people up into indignantly righteous outrage, people will be whipped up into indignantly righteous outrage. When you see these things, and I’m talking either “side”, follow the money. That means you, too, David Codrea. What is the point of your piece except to make a few bucks while keeping people whipped up? Surely there is a better, reasonable course to sustain and support 2A rights than to incite more and more outrage. How come you don’t incite people to write their congressmen, senators, and state-wide representatives? How come you didn’t incite all the Rs with an interest in guns to VOTE? Virginia turned blue, as some people theorize, because too many gun owners didn’t vote. I am pointing my finger at you. [More]
Umm…
And Umm…
I do both, and regularly, which anyone who regularly reads my stuff could give innumerable examples of. Which means you don’t.
Now tell everybody how much I make doing this and what I sell my soul for– and if I could make more working part-time at McDonalds if you factor in all the hours spent on this uncompensated blog, where I specifically ask readers NOT to send money. You have no idea what motivates me, which makes your acting like you do all the more ignorant and obnoxious.
The truth being, I do this because I worked a lifetime in a successful career that has nothing to do with 2A advocacy and can now afford to do this because it’s a passion that I believe in.
You think rich/politically powerful collectivists with much larger megaphones than I have “whipping up” people to commit acts of violence against everything Constitutionalists believe in isn’t worth paying attention to, that’s a reflection of your judgment and leadership skills. Now let’s see what your motivation is– oh, we can’t can we (?), because unlike those of us who put their names out there and subject ourselves to whatever comes from that, you’re hiding behind a screen name and are immune to any real world repercussions.
I’d be careful pointing fingers — you know what they say…
