Well, ladies and gentlemen, our favorite abortion-mongering, Pope-bashing, radical feminist is at it again. This time she's caterwauling about how deadly your right to keep and bear arms is.
Guns do kill people, screams the PBS "To the Contrary" host who denies abortion, well, kills people.
You may stop abortion when you pull the forceps from Bonnie Erbe's cold dead hands, but she thinks that your hands shouldn't be anywhere near "assault weapons."
From her April 6 Thomas Jefferson Street blog post at USNews.com, reacting to a fatal shooting of three police officers in Pittsburgh on Sunday:
Story Continues Below Ad ↓It's time America came to its senses again on gun control. Seven officers of the law being mowed down in two weeks is too many. Any is too many. But if you listen to the NRA, guns don't kill people, people kill people. Could Poplawski have killed these Pittsburgh police without all his sophisticated weaponry? Heck no!
Remember, this from a woman who is so pro-abortion, she detests waiting periods, parental consent requirements, and requiring pre-abortion ultrasounds.:
To require them to have an ultrasound prior to an abortion is the most invasive type of moralistic lecture imaginable. Some state laws would even require poor women to pay for them, which would put the cost of abortion beyond their meager reach.
The überright has already succeeded in throwing so many obstacles in the path of women trying to end unwanted pregnancies: 24-hour waiting periods, parental consent laws, and so on. Required ultrasounds are a step too far. "Offered" ultrasounds are insulting, too. In my humble opinion, both are completely unconstitutional.
Read my lips: Elections have consequences. You lost. Go away.
Yet if you asked Erbe if she favors waiting periods for gun purchases, raising the minimum age at which you can buy a firearm, and making gun purchasers watch a video from a gun control group, it's safe to say that she'd sign on to each of those measures as "common sense gun control."

April 6, 2009 - 16:55 ET by GrannyGrump42I finally figured out the underlying logic in liberals' support of abortion but opposition to the death penalty and self-defense: They always side with the aggressor. And the more innocent the target, the more aggressive their support of the aggressor.

Bingo
April 7, 2009 - 07:43 ET by moderncommentaries83We should just call shooters late-term abortionists, and their victims "overly developed fetuses" who need to be aborted.
Then Erbe will get on board.
I'd also like to ask her: Please show me where, throughout human history, a gun killed someone on its own, without being used by a person (usually with a prior criminal record and or a history of violence or mental problems).
Guns don't kill. People abuse guns in order to kill others.

She's Convinced Me
April 6, 2009 - 17:25 ET by JustAlI used to think abortion should be limited to the first trimester.
But she has now convinced me it should be allowed into the fifth or sixth decade.

Guns don't kill people.
April 6, 2009 - 17:25 ET by SpaceManSpiffGuns don't kill people. Guns are USED to kill people.
That's like saying 'hammers drive nails', or 'computers do work', or 'cars drive'. They're all wrong!
Did Orwell predict the future? Or are the enemies of freedom following Orwell's example?

Change a few words-
It's time America came to its senses again on abortion. Millions of human beings killed in 30+ years is too many. Any is
too many. But if you listen to the ProChoicers, doctors don't kill babies, just un-viable tissue mass. Could Poplawski have killed these Pittsburgh police
without all his sophisticated weaponry? Sure. But since the taking of innocent lives, from the womb, is no big deal (even to our current POTUS,) he figured what the heck.

April 6, 2009 - 18:43 ET by Joe BlogsGlock should make a key chain size version of their Model 20, just the right size for shooting a fetus in the head. Then Erbe would support legislation to elimnate waiting periods or background checks in order to buy it.

Guns killing people
April 7, 2009 - 10:10 ET by grumpyoldbThe Late Col. Jeff Cooper once placed a reward of $1,000,000.00 to anyone that could provide absolute proof that ANY firearm had ever removed isteld from the box, loaded itself and gone out and shot a person WITHOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION... As far as I know, no-one was ever able to collect, and yet the left still claims that the gun is the problem.... First of all it's not a gun, it's referred to as a "firearm" or a "weapon".. Repeat after me, everyone that's been there "this is my weapon, this is my gun, this is for fighting and this is for fun"...... Let's follow their logic, "guns kill people" that means that Pencils cause bad spelling, Cars cause accidents, Eyeglasses cause bad eyesight... How about getting to the root of the issue and admiting that PEOPLE DISPLAYING CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR IS THE PROBLEM.. and just enforce the laws we have....
Hey lady... Your villiage called, and they want their idiot back....

April 8, 2009 - 00:34 ET by rbosqueI really don't know who this Erbe idiot is but she is symptomatic of the twisted logic of the left. You can kill the innocent, but you can't use a weapon to defend yourself?
