At least there was plenty of well reasoned arguments to shut him down. He would not be convinced however.

I disagree, and I think it's counter-productive to underestimate the Mr. Fusion's out there.....for example, Mr. Holder and Mr. Obama are also Mr. Fusions. Mr. Fusion is not ignorant or stupid, he's a deranged ideologue spouting propaganda and lies in order to get his way. In this case, getting his way is just continuing to lie and refusing to admit his lies on an internet comment page. When people like this gain any power over others they are very dangerous.

You are most certainly correct, IMHO. I couldn't find any comments by Mr. Fusion...but while there were quite a few comments from folks that seemed to have some firearms knowledge, there were also quite a few die-hard leftists on there with crazy ideas that only make sense from a VERY narrow ideological perspective, and are separated from reality. :banghead:

There's a saying that we shouldn't attribute to malcr what can be explained by stupidity.

However you're absolutely right that some things can't be reasonably explained by giving them the benefit of the doubt that they lack ntellgence and common sense rather than lacking ethics and morals.

If there are riots, I think there will be less Obama voters in November. Take that any way you want.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

And now the inevitable backlash the other way. Apparently, these are becoming popular with gun ranges in Florida. There's supposed to have been a couple of TV news channels reporting on this now. I'll post the links when I can find them.

Personally, I find that very inappropriate and would not go to a gun range that sold them and shoot there. It is just another way to make the gun owners/CHL holders look like a bunch of vigilantes that are out for blood.
