The Senator is anti-gun for you, but as for he and his house...

Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder

 

[jbombelli]

Is this actually a surprise to anyone?

 

[Bennettjh]

My Dad was talking about this earlier. I can't say I'm surprised that he thinks he's better than everyone else and should have guns. I guess our families and ourselves aren't important as his family and himself.

 

[GunSlinger]

I'm shocked I tell you...shocked by the hypocrisy!

Not that it mitigates the towering hypocrisy of this anti-gunner, but a quick look around reveals that the incident in question happened in 2011.
Cite - FLASHBACK: Anti-Gun Politician Shoots Intruder - Fox Nation
Note: my link is actually dated January 1, 2013, but it's actually a flashback to the actual date that the report of the actual shooting went out, February 14, 2011.

Reinforcing the long and sorry history of the anti-gunners' hypocrisy, here's a new link to something old, 1988 old, about stridently D.C. anti-gun columnist Carl Rowan - Trial Opens for Rowan in Shooting of Trespasser - NYTimes.com

Carl T. Rowan, the columnist and outspoken advocate of gun control, went on trial here today for possessing the unregistered pistol with which he shot a teen-age intruder at his home June 14.
But, of course, he's the "right" person, so we must excuse him.

I'm sure he used a firearm that Joe Biden approved. Maybe he fired one of those "warning shots" and accidentally connected with the intruder.

I'm not sure it's hypocrisy so much as an example of their belief that they are a separate class.

There is the privileged class that is allowed the freedoms in the bill of rights, and then theirs the rest of you who the state must oppress. They can say what they want, go armed in defense (against you), and have you pay for their globe trotting. You will tried for hate speech, be subservient or be arrested, and work for the komisar yah?

[Doublehelix]

This is really unbelievable! I understand that it is "old news", but it is new news to me! Too bad it was not Nancy Pelosi coming in for an unexpected evening visit! Whoops!!! (j/k)

About as surprising as the sun coming up in the morning, ducks quacking, and bears, well, using the woods.

The words they use verses the meaning they have...

 

[chipbennett]

If anti-gunners didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.

 

[worddoer]

I am socked that I am amazed about being shocked regarding my socking amazement. Ya.....that's it.

 

[KG1]

Gun control for thee but not for me.

 

[chipbennett]

By the way, this story is still funny, six years after it happened.

 

[JettaKnight]

Can someone explain to me how he's anti 2A?

According to this, he got high marks from the NRA.

All the 'story' said was, "The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public,". Then it goes on to try and sell me a domain name...

So, are we stringin' up the wrong man? We love to point out hypocrisy, but come'on...

All things are relative, i.e. one man's anti-gunner is Snopes' pro-gunner.
Also, their information is only as good as their sources' reliability.

And when it comes to politics Snopes is as reliable as

While I prefer

And so far INGO has come up with nothing on this one.

Can anyone show me that Snopes is wrong on this one?

Either way the source is....
