Seriously? You want THAT person on your side?

The 'Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence' (a misnamed group of anti-freedom busybodies) ha decided to associate themselves with a Dirtbag*, Idiotic**, Asshole***, Plaxico Burris.

You remember him, right? Stuffed a Glock in his waistband at a NYC nightclub and blew a hole in his own damn leg? That ring a bell?

Well, he is out of prison and running with the wrong crowd.

I am not a person that really follows sports, or thinks that grownups playing children's games for millions of dollars are 'Role Models', or are a hero. But this jerk needs to man up and own his own problems, and not try and blame millions of honest gun owners for his idiocy.


*i.e. a Felon
** You violate SEVERAL rules of gun handling, you are an idiot
*** You try to blame the gun- and enthusiasts like me for your idiotic actions- that makes you an Asshole.

  1. All right. Before I go any further, may it be so stipulated that Plaxico Burress, with his gun blaming ways, is the perfect spokesperson for the Organization Formerly Known as Handgun Control. That said...

    I don't know. I think I may be missing something here — but what was the felony Plaxico Burress committed? Was it the breaking of the law forbidding carry without a permit? I really can't get too het up about that. We talk all the time about the injustice of requiring a permit to exercise a Constitutionally-protected right, yes? And even if he did have a New York state permit, it's next to impossible to get a permit to carry in New York City. If his violation of unjust laws such as the gun laws in New York City makes him a bad guy, then all the folks who broke the Jim Crow laws during the civil rights movement were bad too. Do we really want to go there?

  3. South, I agree with you for the most part. I agree that ignoring unjust laws is the right thing to do. However, he was also carrying while drinking and in a bar. Then he cranks off a round through his own leg.

    Not exactly someone who is heroically standing up for the downtrodden. And he did not fight the law- he just went to jail and wants to blame us for his woes.

    Even without the 'felon' tag- he is a dirtbag.

  4. Well, I can definitely agree with that. Carrying while getting sloshed is just stupid.
