I’m not a huge Bill Maher fan but he has this one down exactly.

162. Sandy, right on! Of course, for some on this site, the objective is to protect their livelyhood. You certainly expect them to support their pocketbooks.

Can we finally, once and for all, put this lying sack of BS about “liberty” and “freedom” in the sink hole where it belongs? I am past sick of Dave Hicks, John Wilburn, Jack and P. Van Cleave pretending that their “lobby” efforts are about “rights” and “liberty” and “freedom”. That is pure BS and backed by nothing. You brag about going to Richmond or DC or calling your Congress critter over GUNS. Nothing else, nothing more, nothing. Nothing.

The time to go to Richmond, DC or a Congress critter was fighting “The Patriot Act”. Name the times you have urged “lobby day” on the ever intrusive acts of “law enforcement” and those “fighting terrorists” from 2001 thru 2008. Sure it is easy to beat up on Obama for the same things you previously ignored, but let’s get real. The boat has sailed.

Your claims to be fighting for rights, liberty and freedom are just plain BS. You are fighting for your guns because in small little minds they compensate for all else that has been lost. Lost to the bad guys and to the good guys, but lost nonetheless. As Bill Maher said so eloquently, “You see, the Redcoats — they never wanted your gun. They wanted your liberty. And that’s why the Founding Fathers said you could have the gun, dumbass! And now the only right we have left is the guns, and nothing left to use the guns to protect! We’re like a strip club with a million bouncers and no strippers!”

Well, Jack, let’s just say that John W is better off having shut up about the rape thing, whether it was voluntary or not.

Nah. We’re just in Richmond for Lobby Day and as a team leader, John is pretty busy.

Oops, looks like John W had to shut up about that whole rape thing.

JohnW, your obsession with rape is bizarre. And just because you haven’t heard of something doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

And your made- up factoid was wrong. Just admit it without launching into yet another rape riff.

JW,

Here are some more crime stats you might say you cannot compare. California vs. Arizona. They are both on our border with Mexico (California has the busiest, by far, border crossing point in the country).
Bonus: they’re ADJOINING STATES.

Of course, California has many more people, and many more “inner cities” as you’ve put it, a much higher percentage of black residents, and much more coastline and redwoods and many more LSD labs, too. So maybe you cannot compare them, eh?

Oh yeah — and California is a so-called “gun control” state!

Arizona 2011
Homicide rate: 6.2
Forcible rape rate: 35.9
Aggravated assault rate: 254.8

California 2011
Homicide rate: 4.8
Forcible rape rate: 20.3
Aggravated assault rate: 242.0

Of course women can carry guns; report back to us what percentage of the gun huggers in Richmond Sunday are women, okay?
