1. Joe The Plumber: 'Your Dead Kids Don't Trump My Constitutional Rights' To Have Guns

Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, insisted the deaths of innocent people “don’t trump” his constitutional rights in an open letter to the families of victims in Friday’s shooting rampage near the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Wurzelbacher’s letter was published on Barbwire Monday, days after one shooting victim’s father blamed “craven, irresponsible politicians” and the National Rifle Association for his son’s death.

Wurzelbacher said the words of Richard Martinez, whose son Christopher Martinez was a victim in Friday’s incident, “will be exploited by gun-grab extremists as are all tragedies involving gun violence and the mentally ill by the anti-Second Amendment Left.” The former Congressional candidate told Martinez to “back off.”

Wurzelbacher said his letter is directed “only to the families of the gunshot victims in Santa Barbara” and not to the families of three who were stabbed ahead of the shooting spree.

Second Amendment absolutists use Wurzelbacher’s convoluted reasoning to continue to enable the gun violence carnage on our streets and in our neighborhoods. The unnecessary slaughter of innocent men, women, and children will continue as long as the right-wing and its enablers are allowed to continue to buy our far-right radical politicians.
