Does anyone else have a problem with Schumer/Feinstein leading gun control charge? [View all]

[IfPalinisAnswerWatsQ]

As you could probably tell from reading my posts, I oppose gun control. I am a liberal on every issue save for this one. Guns are a tool for racial and sexual minorities to use to protect themselves from the majority. This is why Huey Newton and the Black Panthers carried guns, and this is why Reagan banned concealed carry in California in the 60s: to keep blacks down.

But I digress. My real point is this: Schumer and Feinstein were cheerleaders for the war in Iraq and to hear them talk about banning guns for the children gives me the urge to let out a rueful laugh. Where were these two when Bush was on the verge of sending thousands of our troops off to die and also killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in the process?

Where were they when Israel used white phosphorus on little Palestinian children in Gaza?

Where they when in the 1990s when Ambassador Albright supported brutal sanctions on Iraq that led to half a million dead children? Albright told Lesley Stahl that she thought it was worth it.

So please forgive me if I refuse to fall in line for the gun grabbers. I at least have my morals and the hypocrisy is rank and makes me want to vomit!

Ok, twenty children died at Newtown. How about the many thousands killed in inner cities due to the DRUG WAR. Why is no one talking about the fact that we wouldn't have even half the level of gun violence that we have if we legalized drugs? We are such fucking cowards.
