Pack Of Meatheads

I see the unlimited gun rights advocates have once again stuck their heads underwater without assistance:

An Instagram post affiliated with the Virginia gun rights group that hosted Monday’s huge rally in Richmond mocks House Speaker Eileen ­Filler-Corn for being unarmed during a carjacking more than 20 years ago.

A photo posted Thursday night to an account described as the official feed of the Virginia Citizens Defense League is captioned: “Hi! I’m Eileen Filler-Corn. I was unarmed during a carjacking and it was very scary! I am getting laws passed so you will be unarmed too and can share my fear…..”

It was the latest example of Virginia Democrats being singled out for their support of gun control. [WaPo]

As I noted in the wake of the Las Vegas massacre, being armed guarantees nothing. In this particular case, she would have scrabbled after her hypothetical gun in her purse and been shot for her troubles. Along with the kids. Or had her head rammed into the side of the car, if the carjacker was feeling generous that day.

To assume being armed stops the bad guys is to indulge in a peculiarly vicious type of delusion.
