Everybody’s Back from the Gunblogger Rendezvous

…the one that neither I nor Phil could attend. But Joe Huffman did, and he gave what must have been a rip-roarer of a speech.

We seldom win. We seldom make real progress. We occasionally defeat an anti-gun politician at the polls but his replacement isn’t able or willing to undo the damage done by his or her predecessor. We only slow the cancer some. We aren’t defeating it.

There’s more, a lot more, here, including some very apropos comparisons of gun-owners to others famously deprived of their civil rights. Credit Joe with the entirely appropriate coining of the epithet “gun niggers.” Yes, you read that right. Go read the whole thing.

Joe also posted links to various gunblogger recaps of the Rendezvous. Boy, I’m sorry the wife and I had to miss this one. Next year!
