Re: 2nd Term Part X - A link to a fore gone conclusion
I've been lambasted on the board for repeating, "The only thing that stops a good guy with a gun is a bad guy with a gun." Well, here it is again.

I rest my case.
Oh, and here's some Lindsey on the flag issue. Good job, Lindsey.
Just more proof the wrong side won the war.

• Charles Cotton, a member of the board of the National Rifle Association, engaged in a sick act of victim blaming. He said Clementa Pinkney, a pastor and state legislator who was gunned down in the church, “voted against concealed-carry. Eight of his church members who might be alive if he had expressly allowed members to carry handguns in church are dead. Innocent people died because of his position on a political issue.”

• Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who fancies himself to be presidential material, offered this offensive and incoherent defense of the flying of the Confederate flag near his state’s capitol despite its obvious racist symbolism. “At the end of the day it’s time for people in South Carolina—to revisit that decision would be fine with me, but this is part of who we are,” he said. “The flag represents to some people a Civil War and that was the symbol of one side. To others it’s a racist symbol, and it’s been used by people, it’s been used in a racist way. But the problems we have in South Carolina and throughout the world are not because of a movie or a symbol, it’s because of what’s in people’s heart. You know, how do you go back and reconstruct America? What do we do in terms of our history?”
