In this past month, we’ve seen amply on display the left’s forbearance at jumping to conclusions…<\/p>\n
…at anyone who’s not a conservative.<\/p>\n
Chicago mayor Richard Daley – mayor of the city with the toughest gun control laws and <\/em>among the highest gun crime and murder rates in the US – on Fort Hood<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, America loves Guns. We love guns to a point where that uh we see devastation on a daily basis. You don\u2019t blame a group.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Unless that group is law-abiding gun owners and the NRA, of course.\u00a0 Or talk radio, or Michele Bachmann <\/a>or Michael Savage or Glenn Beck or Karl rove or “neocons” or “teabaggers” or Christians or pro-lifers.\u00a0\u00a0 Other than that, you don’t blame a group.<\/p>\n It should go without saying that not only is Chicago a “gun free zone” (for the law-abiding) but so was Fort Hood; the Army doesn’t allow private carry of firearms on base.\u00a0 A base full of soldiers who’ve not only trained to use firearms under excruciating pressure, but have largely done so through multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, had no more means to protect themselves from Hasan’s alleged onslaught than a bunch of high school kids <\/a>or Chicago shoppers <\/a>or anyone unlucky enough to live in a place throttled by wahhabi liberalism that values ideology over human life.<\/p>\n The legitimacy of any government body that tries to thwart your absolute human right to defend yourself and your family <\/em>should be questioned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this past month, we’ve seen amply on display the left’s forbearance at jumping to conclusions… …at anyone who’s not a conservative.
