Frum proves he's an idiot

Lapdog David Frum is on fire for his boss, Little Barry. Frum seems to think, absent any action in the Demo-Dope controlled senate* on gun control – no wait “common sense” gun control – yeah much better. Anyway, absent any action in the Demo-Dope controlled senate on gun control, there is still much LB can do to abridge the 2nd Amendment.


Frum seems to think that getting the Surgeon General involved is the key. His idea is to make gun ownership the same as smoking was 30 years ago. Yes of course, unsuspecting smokers had no idea that dragging the residue from a smoldering weed into their lungs might be dangerous. The fact that nearly everyone’s first smoking experience is unpleasant, a coughing fit followed by green snot being expelled from the nose followed by violent vomiting offered no clue what-so-ever that smoking might be hazardous to your health.

Lex’s dad was Chesterfield smoker for decades. He contracted lung cancer from his habit. Once during a tv story on a class action law suite against tobacco companies some poor woman was testifying that her poor dead husband had no idea cigarette smoking was dangerous. Dad laughed. “Hell Cigarettes have been referred to as ‘coffin nails’ since I was kid,” he replied. “Everyone knew.”

So anyone with half a brain knows smoking is bad. In the same vein, anyone with half a brain knows that guns are dangerous. Seriously, a gun’s lethality is one of the primary characteristics in judging a gun’s usefulness and one of main reasons for keeping it handy around the house. Nobody buys a pellet gun for home protection.

One of dope Frum’s primary arguments – seriously now – is that handguns do not come equipped with an indicator that there is a round in the chamber. First off, many do come with just such an indicator. The 9mm I carried in the Marine Corps had just such an indicator. As a firm believer that the best weapon for home protection is a revolver, Frum would be happy to know that a revolver always has a round chambered.

Which brings us to the most obvious point, probably the first thing taught at any shooting lesson is that unless there is a flag safety inserted in the chamber or the slide is locked to the rear with a zip line through the barrel, THE WEAPON IS ALWAYS TREATED AS IF IT WERE LOADED.

Now, if you have a gun for home protection, I have to ask, why would it not be loaded? It’s a pretty useless tool unless it is loaded.

Frum’s an idiot, but we knew that. He laments that guns often discharge accidentally. No they don’t. Prevention of such negligent discharges is another reason to keep a double action revolver. Left with the hammer un-cocked, a revolver is nearly impossible to discharge accidentally, although I suppose an idiot like Frum could accomplish the task.

But none of this is the dangerous part of the article. What’s dangerous to me is that Frum seems to think a Surgeon General’s report on guns and health trumps the 2nd Amendment.

*Note: Harry the roach Reid wants nothing to do with a vote on gun control – common sense or other wise. The roach knows forcing Dopes to vote on guns and exposing their true position is more dangerous than making them vote on a senate budget that exposes their true position of wanting to bankrupt the country.
