Briefly on Anti-Gun Hypocrites

I've noticed a lot of blog bashing of anti-gunners who make exceptions for themselves (like Britney Spears). Their hypocrisy isn't a bad thing. In fact, I'd argue it is great. They make our point for us. It's a dangerous world out there, not because of guns, but because some people are plain evil. Self-defense is no crime, and everyone has a right to it, from the billionaires down to the poor, from the famous to the unknown.

While certain famous anti-gunners may be hypocrites, they aren't as dangerous to the 2A as a different type of hypocrite: the gun-owning sell-out.

This is the brainless chucklehead who says "(Insert candidate name here) won't take my hunting gun because it isn't bad. (Candidate) is from the (woods, South, whatever) and understands the importance of hunting." This gun owner doesn't understand the 2A and tragically misrepresents it.

These gun owners don't mind if "scary-looking" weapons are taken off the street. As long as he (they are almost all male) doesn't feel his favorite toy is ripe pickin' - well, who cares if everyone else is screwed? They don't care who goes to jail, who can't defend themselves, who can't exercise their rights... they simply don't care. They are completely indifferent.

The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. We love our right to self-defense. Our scariest foes are not those who hate this right - it is those who are indifferent. They are the ones who sit down and even fail to take notice as the Bill or Rights is stomped on and thrown into history's trash bin.

Gun-owning sell-outs are the most dangerous kind of hypocrite. They lead straight to tyranny.
