Joe The Plumber: 'Guns Are Mostly For Hunting Down Politicians'

[DonViejo]

ERIC LACH – MAY 29, 2014, 5:39 PM EDT

Samuel Wurzelbacher -- better known as Joe the Plumber -- likes guns. And he wants everyone to know why.

"Guns are mostly for hunting down politicians who would actively seek to take your freedoms and liberty away from you," Wurzelbacher wrote on Thursday in a blog post on his website. "Google 'Hitler, Mao, Kim Jung Il, Castro, Stalin' just for starters."

The post was a kind of follow-up to the "open letter" Wurzelbacher published Tuesday addressing the parents of the victims of last week's mass shooting near the University of California, Santa Barbara. Following the shooting, Richard Martinez, whose son Chris was among the victims, blamed "craven, irresponsible politicians" and the National Rifle Association for his son's death. Wurzelbacher responded by writing that "[a]s harsh as this sounds – your dead kids don’t trump my Constitutional rights."

In his latest post, Wurzelbacher said his pro-gun arguments also had something to do with Memorial Day.

10. sometimes I am a little slow on the uptick, but Bill Maher

said something a few show ago that turned the light on for me.

A BIG part of the republican party and the rights fanatical stance on firearms is about intimidation.

As they are so uniquely gifted in doing, they wrap it up in flag waving bullshit.

But, as they become increasingly brazen in all ways they continue to be less subtle about this.

11. Joe was the spawn of "lets put a gun target on politicians faces Palin" & see what happens next.

Republican spokesmen, the republican brand seems to have appointed a lot of these R nut-jobs who do nothing positive.

All they are paid by republicans to do is call out for more nut-jobs to kill people. Then they have their 'media jockeys' post topics far and wide quoting the call.

13. Can Gabby Giffords please hold a press conference outside his house

Let this man have a Bundy Ranch style meltdown.

14. This is pretty much the marketing strategy of the NRA and gun makers anymore.

With nobody hunting and very few even target shooting on a regular basis the marketing strategy has shifted from hunting and shooting sports to selling guns based on fear of criminals (at a time when crime is at record lows) and fear or hatred of the gov't.

15. Shoot much?

I suspect you don't go out to a range ever. Most have waiting lines all weekend.
