A picture is worth a thousand rounds!

When I saw this picture at Frank J's Peace Gallery, a warm, peaceful, sentimental, feeling came over me. After all, when I was a wee lad, still in the student phase of my life, I helped out in the campaign to recall Mayor Feinstein for imposing unconstitutional gun control laws on San Francisco. An unheard of coalition was formed, including libertarians of all stripes, right wing NRA members, the wildly Communist White Panther Party, and assorted gay gun nuts. While the recall failed, I will never forget what happened, and while I don't know how to verify this, it could very well have been the opening salvo in the war against politically correct tyranny.

Even today, political analysts are citing Feinstein's "trauma" as a reason for Feinstein's opposition to the recall:

Diane Feinstein opposes the Davis recall effort in part because she also faced a recall years ago initiated by gun control opponents.

...Twenty years ago, a fringe group of gun control opponents succeeded in forcing Feinstein to face a recall.

Well, gun lovers in San Francisco may be considered fringe (my own "fringe" experience is discussed here), but 24,000 voters signed that petition. The politically incorrect, for the first time, defied the left on their own turf.

Anyway, here's the picture I've been promising you:

She's still at it, folks. She really means it, and she hasn't learned her lesson. (Schwarzenegger really ought to have the NRA mail this out....)

Kim du Toit, where are you when we need you?

Why can't you move to California instead of Texas?

We need someone to to start another recall!
