And their staunchest defender on the blog, one Grits Jr., who denies being Josh but has access to CSGV passwords and is EVERYWHERE Josh is, claims to have read the entire thing and agrees wholeheartedly w/ the attacks.
Hmm. I wonder why?

Coincidental Obsessions
W/ Josh Horwitz's latest post on Huffpo(just like Henigan ), they show just how far they will go in their fanatical goal to stalk and demonize individuals. They got screencaps of D'Cruz's entire FB page and put it into PDF form. Most likely done by Josh's lead puppet Ladd Everitt, the CSGO Comm Director who believes the 2A is 'nonsense'.

All Potential Criminals
The Brady Campaign really needs to reign in its leadership when they go off script. As Bitter notes and numerous of us have shown over and over again, Joan Peterson of the BC is a clueless wonder who is shooting her groups in the foot w/ every post she makes.
We also get to add BC California coordinator Karen Arntzen who believes all firearm owners should be treated as potential criminals.
Yep. Guilty until proven innocent. That's the world of gun control.

Fighting fire with fire
Very old, well established meme. Classic saying in every sense, but merely saying it doesn’t express the underlying truth, nor the pit falls inherit to that particular strategy.
I spend more time reading blogs and commenting at the sites of those who oppose the 2A than those who support it, in order to understand the mentality. Some might say this is waste of time. I call it research.
I agree that feeding trolls is a lost cause, but what they teach us is invaluable.
The impasse we all face is that we try to fight emotionalism with logic. We fight anecdotes with statistics. We fight fallacies with endless corrections which must face the gauntlet of their moderation queues. I’ll be the first to state the obvious that most gun-control blogs are absolutely dominated by the pro-freedom crowd, but I can’t help but search for a better way. Antis are a lost cause, the true harvest lies with the neutrals who don’t scour the interweb tubes each and every day on this single issue or vote for political critters based on their stance on our pet issue.
How about we try something different. With the current winning streak we’re on, why not? Low risk and potential high rewards.
Let’s be funny.
Fear is an emotion and is the only arrow in their quiver, strung across a bow of lies, half-truths and deception.
Humor is also generated by an emotional response. And it is god-smack powerful at the base level. Fear is pure base and primitive. Once your reptilian brain is sparked, all rational flies out the window. Humor is no different, other than the fact that it reflects something, even a kernel of truth, to be true rather than something spoon fed by the MSM.
That’s the needle and thread we must all pierce. Have the logic, facts and statistics as your source and then find a way to make it ridiculously funny to the average Joe.
“Sad Panda” alerts won’t do much to sway the fence-sitters, but the underlying irony when presented in the proper context………………………..will.
They make them scared and rely upon that emotion.
Let’s make them laugh and see how the bones fall.

A Little More Equality in Illinois
SB1716 passed both the IL House & Senate yesterday legalizing Civil Unions within the state. The Gov. is expected to sign it.
My only problem w/ this is that politicians should be focusing exclusively on the train wreck they call a budget but are instead throwing out contentious issues to try and distract from the fact that they are unable to fix the mess they created.
And it's working. The religious right are crapping themselves over condemning this as the end of the world putting what should be a non-issue in the 21st Century at the forefront.

Sure Josh. Whatever You Say...
Josh Sugarmann of the VPC comes out w/ a new 'study' claiming CCW permit holders are more likely to commit suicide than the 'general population'.
Seriously how does the Joyce Foundation justify paying this idiot 145K a year?
Kurt Hoffman has more.
