Jayne Lyn Stahl - Dancing in the Blood of the Dead

Anti-gunners, they can't resist. Show them a little "blood of the innocent" and they start dancing;

Taking on The Lobby

Right off the bat, she brings out the "lobby" bogeyman. Not soon after, she channels the dead:

After the spate of campus killings at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and now at Northern Illinois, there is little doubt that the former president, and his attorney general brother, Robert F. Kennedy, would be hard at work on gun control legislation now.

There is a brief nod to integrity, however:

As one who doesn't profess to know enough about constitutional law to discuss the Second Amendment,

Yet here you are, writing all about guns. Guns, you may or may not know, is what the Second Amendment is all about.

Here's another standard - the founding fathers/"assault weapons" ploy:

Were it possible for the founding fathers to anticipate that, two centuries after their demise, assault weapons would be used by neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, they might have been less ambiguous as to when one has a constitutional right to bear arms.

I've never shot up any of my neighbors, or family for that matter. How cliché.

Clearly, as survivors of a revolutionary war, there concept of citizen and militia must have been much different from our own.

Much different from your own, Jane. Not mine.

Here, she must be trying to initiate the zombie apocalypse:

Those who like to compare Barack Obama to John F. Kennedy, or his brother and attorney general, Robert F. Kennedy, must be reminded that, whether rightly or otherwise, President Kennedy stood up to Cuba, and Bobby Kennedy took on organized crime. We may not be sure of much, but we can count on the chutzpah of both Kennedy brothers to take on the most virulent of corporate lobbies in this country.

They're dead, Jayne. Oh, that's right, you're channeling again.

One thing is clear, a McCain presidency will cater to the gun lobby, and not act to limit access to firearms.

Like I've said before, it's not the lobby, it's the people. We are the ones who are against gun control.

Oh, and if she ever pops off with the "I don't want to ban guns" routine, remind her of what she said here:

Moreover, if interpretation of the Second Amendment is in order, one would hope that it would be weighed heavily in favor of the preservation of human life, thus we ask Senator Obama, or any presidential nominee, to look to Washington, D.C., not to California, as a model for gun control legislation.

You see, in her mind, California's laws aren't tough enough.

Whatta gal.
