If only the pro-2A community could find it in their souls to take such liberties with the truth, maybe we could make some progress. But, unfortunately (or not), our collective conscience and respect for other people, even those we disagree with, prevents us from indulging in this type of extreme and inflammatory rhetoric. And we find ourselves constantly on the defensive, thinking that just because we're right, everyone will eventually see the light. We have the moral high ground, but not much else.

 

Apparently, CeasfirePA has an issue with the new PA Castle Doctrine law in general, and with Scott Perry in particular, comparing him to Jared Loughner and other similar sociopaths.

 

Rep. Perry owed apology from CeasefirePA

Good Morning,

 

Last week in the Allentown Morning Call State Representative Scott Perry (York County, PA) - the lead sponsor of HB40, the NRA's deadly "shoot first" Castle Doctrine expansion bill - explained his motivation for pushing so hard for the new law:

 

"It's sad to have to advocate for what is God-given and constitutionally given. We must be able not only to hunt but to protect ourselves from an overbearing government that does not do the will of the people." That's not what this country is about. Stand up to prevent gun violence now.

 

If that sounds familiar, don't be surprised. We've heard it before:

 

At the NRA convention in April, Newt Gingrich declared, "The right to bear arms is a political right designed to safeguard freedom so that no government can take away from you the rights that God has given you.”

 

Shortly before shooting 19 people in Tucson, AZ, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and murdering six, Jared Loughner declared on YouTube, "You don’t have to accept the federalist laws."

 

And, in 2009, before murdering three Pittsburgh Police officers, Richard Poplawski threatened, "If anyone tried to take his firearms, he was gonna’ stand by what his forefathers told him to do."

 

America's forefathers never meant us to settle disputes with murder. The deadly Castle Doctrine expansion, expands the zone in which deadly force is an acceptable alternative to walking away from a fight to include public spaces, like sidewalks and parking lots. Lancaster Mayor Richard Gray warned that it is a "defense attorney's dream" because it might get gang members off the hook for "turf" related gun battles, even if innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire.

 

It's not too late to make your voice heard. If you haven't signed the petition yet, CLICK HERE to send a message to Governor Corbett asking him to VETO the deadly Castle Doctrine expansion bill. Send a message to legislators like Representative Perry that it is never appropriate to use guns against the people who serve in our state and federal governments.

 

If you've already signed, please take a moment to forward this email to friends and family.

 

Thank you,

I would reply to this thread.. but my comments would be rude, offensive, and otherwise considered detrimental to the cause.. so I will just sit here watch the circus and enjoy the popcorn.. if anyone wants my 2 cents.. just envision me babbling and using a lot of profanity, coupled with some name calling..

 

just to be clear..

the rudeness would be directed at "them" not anyone "here".. lol

Nothing surprises me when it comes to a Liberal and their Agenda. Truth and civility are cast aside because the ends justifies the means.
