Texas, Arizona, Utah or Georgia might already be blue were it not for stupidity like this:

"Betsy got tired of waiting for the gunsucking cowards in Congress to get off their asses and save some lives, so she decided to take matters into her own sticky, chalky hands.

Gunhumpers love their deadly fetish objects so much that they bring them everywhere they go, and usually do a really shitty job of securing them. This is not so good for the 100 kids who Second Amendment themselves to death every year, but the silver lining is that it does help make Betsy’s job much easier.

Unlocked cars are a great place to find any kind of gun a Betsy might want, from handguns to AR-15s. Betsy helpfully reminded this gun owner, former gun owner, of the cold statistical truth:

Garages can also offer a wealth of weapons to literally anyone who happens to stroll by. Irresponsible gunlicking f*ckwits, take note: if you can’t keep your f*cking guns out of the wrong f*cking hands, they will end up in Betsy’s.

Any betsy can play this game – it’s fun and easy! The best part is that you don’t even really have to look all that hard before you start finding killing machines left lying around somewhere where a fragile man-child or a violent felon or a kid can pick ‘em up – public bathrooms, parks, even Disney World!

Make sure to take trophy pics…"

This was from an article published at HuffPo, since removed. The author of the piece was sarcastically encouraging theft of lawfully owned firearms from "gunhumpers". The fact that this article passed muster and was actually published makes a rational citizen scratch their head, to say the least. Just another example of moronic culture war that pushes voters toward the GOP, and prevents us from accomplishing worthwhile objectives like single-payer health care. (To cite just one example) Here's the scrubbed page that this quote was taken from:

Edited to add: I saw this story of Facebook, and the quote from the article came from a right wing source. Despite the fact that The Huffington Post removed the story the message was still captured, and I imagine is circulating fairly widely.

4. It was a Cali governor that helped and pushed

the Mulford act. Yep St. Ronnie himself.

Gun control has been and will always be cyclical.

About the same time the NRA was pushing for more gun control, go figure.

5. Do you support this kind of activity? Would you, or do you, engage in it?

6. The mimeographed language in the HuffPo "piece" does Wonders for local Party organization!

Yech. But at least HuffPo is certainly aware of how others will read this, even if some here continue to act like they are the only show in town.
