Always happy to point out a Hypocrite..

[EddieNFL]

so I cannot directly say he's a hypocrite.

pol·i·ti·cian   [pol-i-tish-uhn]

1. a person who is active in party politics.
2. a seeker or holder of public office, who is more concerned about winning favor or retaining power than about maintaining principles.

Synonyms

1. liar
2. hypocrite
3. bloodsucking parasite

 

[Deanimator]

Granted. But, considering the post that started this thread I wanted to point out that those facts don't apply to Mayor Jones' situation.

"Mayor Snerdley is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, but NOT because he's a racist! He's a Klansman, but doesn't agree with the Klan's views on race. He supports their positions on affirmative action and illegal aliens..."

Yeah, right...

Mayor Jones

If you read the whole story-- read between the lines. The Mayor went to a local store, returned home found someone in his garage stoped him at gunpoint and held him till police arrived. He will not say if he went inside his home to get his handgun [legal to have at home without permit] or if he had it in his car with him [Illegal without permit]. The Mayor refuses to answer simple question Do you have a CCW permit?.

I don't have any articles or stories to share, only a few real-life experiences. Living in a very lax state of FL, when I visit NJ/CA/NY for vacation, I cannot fathom how residents there have lived with not having the same freedoms (or maybe they just have very strict limitations) of the 2nd Amendment.

You will always hear the 3-step gun rule for storing a pistol in a vehicle, which is really pointless when you actually need to use your gun for self-defense

Lots of people are pro-their-guns. Nothing is wrong with their guns, or the kinds of guns they like. FUDs and hunting rifles or bird guns.

I work with a fellow who has a safe full of expensive dolled up shotguns, historic rifles and at last count 17 S&W revolvers. And not a round of ammunition in the house. He used one box of 50 .380 in his Walther to get his Handgun Carry Permit, and hasn't fired any of his guns before or since. He's really uncomfortable with anybody having a loaded gun within reach. He thinks there should be a huge tax on ammunition so no one (editorial: no one who's not very wealthy) would have any.

But all that's his business. It does seem like a shame that $50k worth of really nice shootin' irons are just sitting in a safe doing nothing, though.

The Neanderthals lived in harmony with their environment in a sustainable manner.

Yup so sustainable that they went extinct.

Luckily they had excellent insurance. Signing up on the website was so easy...

Being a former Chicagoland resident, I honestly thought the whole US was like IL. Had to report to teh state police that you were interested in guns. Had to buy three times as manay magazines to have a 30-round AR. "Who really needs a gun, anyway?" etc.

Even for it's goofy General Assemblymen, Missorui is a nicer place to live thanks largely to it's far less restrictive gun laws. While I can't get a Destructive Device, I don't think much of the state is zoned in such a way that a landowner can't get an FFL 01.

No hypocracy, aside from something that sparked my interest in becoming a gun owner. Illinois AG Lisa Madigan was trying to publish the names & addresses of IL FOID card holders but won't comment publically as to whether or not her name would be on that list along with her home address.

I still, to this day, don't know what an "illegal gun" is.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

No one is for illegal guns, but it depends on what makes a gun illegal. And there is a distinction between merely being opposed to illegal guns and wishing to ban them for everyone (except themselves, of course). A perfect example of this was the late political columnist Carl Rowan. He wrote many times of banning civilian firearms ownership, yet, about 25 years ago, he shot at an intruder in his back yard. This is the epitome of hypocrisy.

Feinstein has a ccw....enough said.

 

[Justin]

Feinstein got rid of her CCW in a fairly public display back in the late 1980s/early 1990s.

 

[mortablunt]

As someone said in a pro-gun speech on a campus somewhere on youtube. "It's not the guns that are the problem- it's that they're your guns."

 

[we are not amused]

Mayor Jones used a gun to thwart a robbery in his home. That's not illegal in Mobile, Alabama. There's nothing hypocritical about opposing illegal guns and using a gun legally.

Yes, The Honorable Mr. Jones belongs to "Mayors Against Illegal Guns." Here's what they say on their website:

"We support the Second Amendment and the rights of citizens to own guns. We recognize that the vast majority of gun dealers and gun owners carefully follow the law. And we know that a policy that is appropriate for a small town in one region of the country is not necessarily appropriate for a big city in another region of the country."


Other members of that organization have been very unfriendly to gun owners. If the group's founder, Mayor Bloomberg had done what Mr. Jones did that would have been hypocritical because having a .38 in NYC is almost alway illegal.

And If you believe that, I have some bottom land to sell you, just don't ask what it is at the bottom of.

And she was pro-2nd before that?

MAYORS AGAINST ILLEGAL GUNS - "... And we know that a policy that is appropriate for a small town in one region of the country is not necessarily appropriate for a big city in another region of the country."

The above statement specically contradicts this below.

MAYORS AGAINST ILLEGAL GUNS - "We support the Second Amendment and the rights of citizens to own guns. We recognize that the vast majority of gun dealers and gun owners carefully follow the law."

Were this valid, then any of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights could be put to the same test.

Hypocrisy in its the purest form. But so very typical of "progressives," or "liberals" or whatever term they've clothed themselves in this week. Disngenuous to the rotten core.
