"The Moral Work of Gun Control."
Meet Adam Gopnik. You've probably heard of this Julius Streicher of gun control before. He writes screeds for the New Yorker like The Simple Truth About Gun Control. He's also one of the collectivist propagandists who blamed the Oklahoma City bombing on Rush Limbaugh and the NRA.
Now this "Kapo for Kristallnacht" (to use David Codrea's phrase) brings us: "The Newtown Lawsuit and the Moral Work of Gun Control." Among other things, he decries something he calls the "death-by-gun lobby." He is not referring, of course, to the hundreds of millions of innocents killed by firearms in the hands of governments in the last century, although if there is a "death-by-gun-lobby" that is it -- collectivism.
However, John Hinderaker has this deconstruction of Gopnik's latest:Liberals Can’t Argue, They Can Only Bully.

Something will happen to kill this lawsuit against Bushmaster. The only reason they even sued is because of all the questions surrounding why the parents never sued anyone. Normally they would be suing the town, school district and maybe even the state along with the gun manufacturer. The suit will die because of the 'discovery" phase. Too many things will surface about Newtown and they can't let that happen. There's far too many oddities surrounding the shooting and i think this lawsuit is all for show. So the only people hanging on that writers every word are brain dead to begin with. He can say whatever he wants, that's all for show to.
I find it ironic that Adam wants a “Conversation” yet does not allow comments on his site.
Is it me or does this man (Pic) just drip with evil?
sigh, logically that Newtown lawsuit can only be a propaganda/ PR ploy ...
for IF it were to actually go forward, they would need to produce actual EVIDENCE - as in crime scene docs, autopsy records, ballistics, inter-agency docs, etc, etc ...
but oooops, all that stuff had been mysteriously "court-sealed & classified" by persons unknown due to reasons unknown
LIbErals can only LIE - 'tis embeded in their very name!
How can a person bearing arms be bullied by those who have a philosphical aversion to arms?

Typical, as others observed, no comments allowed. His 'comparison' of an unthinking disease to the conscious acts of individuals is, at best, a specious argument.
I can use his same 'logic' for his 'cure' by using inoculation of criminals and others who are mentally defective. Oh wait, that has been tried before hasn't it? Same problem with that solution as always - who gets to choose who gets inoculated and what criteria do they use............
He claims Americans changed their minds on homosexual marriage. What a lie! CALIFORNIA voted Twice against homosexual marriage! It was left wing judges across America that have given the O.K. to homosexual marriage no matter what voters wanted. And the N.R.A. is the Al Sharpton of the gun world. Always first to show up and start asking for money after a shooting. The stupid is strong with this one.
Of course they bully, that's why they oppose self defense...they fear accountability (people fighting back).
In schools, liberals controlling the situation SCREAM about stopping the bullying, yet punish harshly any child who dares to stand up to a bully by punching them in the gut stomping on their foot and throwing a straight right directly at their nose. The liberals CREATE the bullying AND their preferred response to it - Bowing.
Please notice - islams sharia law does the exact same thing.
I have trouble with one aspect of the take down. Folks, the free standing interest balancing approach no longer applies to second amendment jurisprudence. Of course, that concession came judicially BECAUSE it could no longer be used by controllers to justify infringements...the stats no longer benefit them and indeed hurt them. But it makes NO SENSE to counter their idiocy with stats that show gun ownership and carriage reduce crime. IT MATTERS NOT if crime stats go up or down, the rights exist regardless of whether either or both happens. We MUST NOT participate in the FALSE premise that stats define the right - for stats can change.....
Folks, we gotta stop being tricked and conned into conceding false premise. Seriously.
Well, he certainly has the right name.
In post-Soviet Russia, a "gopnik" is a drunken street hoodlum. They are thugs who congregate on street corners in the bad part of town, wearing grubby track suits, drinking cheap vodka that comes in plastic bottles, and subjecting passers-by to anything from strongarm robbery to random beatings to gang rape. As one might expect, "gopniks" flourish in places where the general public has been disarmed.
I'm going to follow Mark Twain's advice in Mr. Gopnik's case:
“Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
But I do have two words for him, and they're not "Happy Birthday!"
Well..... OK... On second thought, four words.
