This blogger is a classic example of the Reasoned Discourse™ we've come to expect from anti-gun bigots.

I found the link from Snowflakes in Hell and decided to follow it over to see what was going on. Sure enough, another undereducated (when it comes to firearms) blogger was going on about needing more gun laws. Like most anti-rights bloggers, this one "moderates" his comments.

Now, many people moderate comments to prevent nasty trolls or spam. While I prefer erasing them after the fact, to each his own. However, like every other anti out there, this one "moderates" to prevent information damaging to his own claims from showing up.

He rants about how England only has 30 gun murders a year. I posted links showing how this data is wrong. It never showed up. Reading the comments over at Sebastian's, it's clear that many people have tried to comment with no luck. Oddly, sycophantic comments do get displayed along with the blogger's replies of "thank you for commenting".

Can't prove it, but I smell sock-puppetry.

This, by the way, is some of the most pure idiocy available without a prescription

"Debating" with right-wingers has become frustrating for me in recent years---the Kool-Aid drinkers are impossible to reason with: they believe whatever they want and, if the facts don't fit their case, they simply ignore the facts, or make up entirely bogus "facts" to make their arguments.

Coming from a guy who (a) won't debate (b) won't allow comments that disprove his writings and (c) is ignoring everything that goes against what he believes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. For those of you who are undecided on the gun control issue, read us "gunnies". Read the "antis". On both blog types, leave an anonymous comment that supports us and one that is against us. Watch how both your comments show up on our side's blogs and how only the ones that support the anti's show up on theirs.

Then ask yourself "Why?". Why is it that we gunnies are always so open to having the other side talk yet they can't stand to even publish our comments. Ask yourself why we always come in with links and verifiable facts and all they can do is call us names. And really pay attention to what "facts" each of us claim. I'm confident that what I say can be verified and that what they say can't.

It is because of bloggers like this guy that we're winning. People are waking up to their lies and the more they talk, the more apparent it is to the populace that gun control is failing.

Keep it up Marc, you're a great resource to our side.
