The liberal mindset of the hoplophobes is truly a glimpse into the world of Lewis Caroll. If you go down the Lefty rabbit hole you have to leave reality behind.
I'm talking about the caterwauling in VA over the availability of the Eddie Eagle program to educators who want to reduce the risks of gun accidents among children. For a party that does everything "for the children" they have a bizarre way of showing it.
They have trotted out the old comparison between Eddie Eagle and Joe Camel for about the 129th time. HOW you can compare Eddie Eagle (who wears NO emblem and tells kids to AVOID a gun they find) with Joe Camel whose sole raison d'etre is to entice another generation of kids to smoke cigarettes?
About 16 years ago I was a consultant to the now-defunct Prodigy Information Services. I was also a member. On the Second Amendment politics board we had a gaggle of mouth foaming anti-gunners you'd have to read to believe. One was a PEDIATRICIAN in WA State. He used to proclaim that "We pediatricians will end the NRA reign of urban terror!". I kid you not.
Another poster had to be banned for promoting violence. He used to log on and screech that he wanted to "drag all you gun-toting Neanderthals out in the street for summary execution including your families to remove your violent tendencies from our gene pool". Nice "rational peaceful" liberal, right?
Then I read somewhere that HCI was trying to create their own fear-based answer to Eddie Eagle and SELL it to school boards. What's worse was that these boards, which were cash-strapped to begin with, were eager to spend money on an inferior program rather than take what the NRA was offering for free!! Their reasoning seemed to be to avoid any connection with the "evil gun mongering NRA" and to prevent the NRA from getting any positive press.
This is like the campaign by PeTA, HSUS and other anti-hunting groups to keep the donations of THOUSANDS of pounds of venison to the homeless out of the media. It does not advance their narrative which is already written. :dead_hors
