While the NRA's Wayne LaPierre linguistic upchuck from earlier today was enough buffoonery to cause any sane person's eyeballs to spontaneously spurt blood, believe it or not it pales in horrifying comparison to the musings of a Libertarian pundit (if by pundit you mean a flesh decayed Zombie that can grunt sounds which somewhat resemble actual human words) who decided the world could use some sound Libertarian guidance on how to deal with the Newtown, CT child massacre.
Megan McArdle (said Zombie) a couple of days ago wrote an essay in The Daily Beast with a uniquely novel approach as to how to deal with future armed and armored madmen with WMD's who decide to play Rambo using real live kindergartners as their training exercise pop-up targets.
Brace yourself, because what you are about to read are words that instantly qualify as The Stupidest Fucking Crap Ever Uttered In The Annals of Human Linguistic History.
Imagine this was said about the Newtown massacre and how to deal with the next one:
"I'd also like us to encourage people to gang rush shooters, rather than following their instincts to hide; if we drilled it into young people that the correct thing to do is for everyone to instantly run at the guy with the gun, these sorts of mass shootings would be less deadly, because even a guy with a very powerful weapon can be brought down by 8-12 unarmed bodies piling on him at once. Would it work? Would people do it? I have no idea; all I can say is that both these things would be more effective than banning rifles with pistol grips."http://mediamatters.org/blog/2012/12/18/newsweeks-megan-mcardle-calls-for-children-to-b/191889
The Gadfly's initial response (after allowing the steaming hot coffee to finish draining from inside his now seared nostrils) was this:
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG!
LOL! OMFG! . . . . . . ad infinitum.
Yes dear Megan -- let us "drill" train our toddlers, who when confronted with a demented, AK-47/100 shot magazine sporting psycho spraying bullets to and fro, to bum rush the kook in an attempt to take him down - with the noble goal of preventing additional carnage.
The Gadfly will repeat this since any rational human being, after reading such blithering idiocy, may very possibly be motivated to put their brains in to a temporary, self-induced coma.
Megan McArdle, Libertarian Pundit extraordinaire, actually believes that one of the best ideas for preventing future mass shootings in schools is to train the little tykes to group together, and like a good old fashioned rugby scrum, run directly at the bullet spraying loon, knock him to the ground and thus upsetting his slaughter-hungering equilibrium, which in wingnut theory, will result in a few less rugrat corpses and blood to be mopped up after afterward.
The reasonably functioning human mind and the compassionate human soul stagger at the cold-blooded, sociopathic thought process that is belched forth from these monstrous people. It makes one wonder whether this country is deserving of the gift of democracy, considering how often we shit upon it in the name of some maniacal interpretation of a document written over 200 years ago when mankind could not foresee the advancements in genocidal weaponry designed to butcher human beings on a mass scale.
To close, all that The Gadfly has to say to the Megan McArdle's of the world is - fuck you. Fuck you and every single soulless sonofabitch who thinks like you. And The Gadfly sincerely hopes, since you are convinced that nothing can be done to prevent another Newtown tragedy, that the next schoolroom massacre doesn't find a loved one of your own as one of the bloodied, lifeless cadavers being carted away in a zippered, plastic bag for no goddamn good reason at all.
