This isn't about "reasonable" people, Ol'ster... It's a bout borderline people who also own handguns...

Reasonable people aren't going to do stupid stuff... Borderline people do... Unfortunately, as a former social worker working mostly with folks with mental illnesses, I understand that these folks don't process information like the rest of us... Herein lies the problem with terms like "Don't retreat, reload", or "2nd amendment remedies"... Reasonable people may hear these term and shrug them off as metaphors but borderline people may hear those terms and think of them as "permission" to act...

The other problem is that if we follow attacks on people going back to the 60's there is one thing that stands out... Seems that too many of them have been perpetrated by those on the right against those on the left or by people who have bought into Ronald Reagan's theory that the government is evil... I mean, going back to JFK some 45 years ago one would be hard pressed to find anyone on the right who has been targeted... I'm not talkin' about just politicians either... How about doctors working at women's clinics??? Lotta them been shot, too...

Bottom line, looks like the right kinda owns the violence side of the equation...

(But what about the Unibomber, Boberdz...)

Well, he certainly fell into the "conspiracy theorists"/anit-government category that seems to to be rampant on the right...

No, I don't buy this "both sides" PR stuff that the right is ratcheting up right now... There is a reason why Palin pulled the cross hairs down off her site... They know they are in the wrong but they are going to do everything in their power to try to shift yet another terrorist attack against the left on the left itself...

Normal...
