Discussion: Joe The Plumber TO UCSB Victims Families: 'Your Dead Kids Don't Trump My Constitutional Rights'

Uh, it just says I can have all the guns I want - right?

Translated: “The real world consequences of guns don’t trump my imaginary need for them”.

Yup, sounds about right. I’m glad that he came right out and said it. Yet another messaging win for the GOP.

Two points?

  1. This guy is a piece of shit, and if he were to be killed in an “accident” involving a firearm I wouldn’t give even a little bit of a shit. Much like Breitbart dying, “Joe” dying will make the world a better place.

  2. All this shitsack is doing is stating the de facto position of our Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. So he’s really just reiterating the actual government policy (or at least its actions) here.

What a fucking jerk! Too bad he wasn’t one of the fallen.

Shorter Joe: I’m entitled to do what I want to do, when I want to do it, and for as many times as I want to. The fact that your children are now dead is a bummer for you, but not for me.

Entitlement. It’s what’s on the menu these days.

Joe the useless plumber. A tad slow and being used as a tool with, probably no money, no license, no life and no sense.

Welcome to the Republican mind. Owning a gun is a sacred American right, but not getting shot isn’t.

After Columbine, Sandy Hook, this recent shooting in California and everything else, I’ve come to the following conclusion: If this is the price of freedom, then the price of freedom is too fucking high.

“However, any feelings you have toward my rights being taken away from me, lose those.”

Funny how someone else’s child being murdered is all about Joe and his rights being taken away.

Break time is over, Saul. Back to your union protected job you left-hating hypocrite.

An amazing jerkwad.

Joe’s kids, if they’ve inherited his intellect, are not likely college material. He very likely cannot envision his kids at a prestige school like UCSB and living in a college enclave like Isla Vista.

Actually no, it says ‘arms’. I prefer to have vials of weaponized Ebola throughout my house, that I can throw at intruders. I think that guns are sooo low-tech. If that fails, I start to flood the neighborhood with cyanide while wearing a gas mask. Sure, some people may die, but it’s my constitutional right to kill as many people as I have to to make sure the Queen of England doesn’t mess with me.

Thanks to SCOTUS and the NRA, no one understands “Constitutional Rights” anymore. What part of well-regulated militia don’t they WANT to understand?

I used to say that it would take a massacre on the floors of Congress for real gun control to happen. But that won’t do it - all it would do is make them hide behind bigger barriers and more armed police.

No, what will make it happen is when NRA-owned politicians start getting taken out, via Second Amendment Remedies (JUST LIKE JESUS WOULD DO!), and they fear to go out into public anymore. Once they fear the actual results of NRA policies first and second hand, rather than just not having money shoveled at their campaigns, they’ll work on it. And not a second before.

Right we survived the scare but two dogs made it out of the yard. Sarah and Joe.

Nobody asked this asshole.

Sadly, he is correct. The right of people to purchase guns and kill people is more important than the rights of those people killed.

If his kids are anything like him the only thing they will be doing in college is fixing the clogged drain.

2 is a bit too easy. It is the de facto position of the GOP, who won’t allow any new gun legislation without a filibuster.

The reason we don’t have any new gun legislation is because we didn’t show up to vote in 2010, but the crazy did.

If you want change, go vote for a non-crazy in 2014. Stating that it is the government’s fault lets people off the hook. It is our fault for not bother to vote in 2010, because we believed that “maybe Obama really is trying to kill grandpa”, now people are dying because the TP-crazy wants everyone to have rocket propelled grenade, you know, cause FREEDOMMMM. In a small way, this killing was OUR fault.

Go vote in 2014 if you want to stop this from happening.

The frustrating thing is that no one is even suggesting taking away Joe’s guns or anyone else’s. All we’re talking about is tightening up the background check requirement so that it functions as a true background check and not a Swiss cheese. Does the media ever bother to point this out?

How about YOUR dead kids, Joe?
