Sometimes it can be hard, from the pro-2A perspective, to carry on the national conversation about guns the president has asked for. Sometimes you run into anencephalic hoplophobes who are pretty sure they know what’s best for everyone (and are willing to legislate accordingly) even though pro-RKBA types are pretty sure they don’t know from which end of a gun the bullet emerges. Then there are those who are reticent about even walking near bitter clingers who may oppose their pro-disarmament POV, let alone engaging them in any civil discourse. So what’s a concerned constituent to do when they’d like to let their lawmakers know they value their Second Amendment rights? How about an email? . . .
Just make sure you don’t include Alabama state representative Joseph Mitchell in the email string. Eddie Maxwell sent Rep. Mitchell and a few other Yellowhammer State lawmakers an email that al.com describes as “warning them that even attempting to introduce a gun control bill was, in his opinion, a violation of state law.”
Do not violate your oath of office by introducing additional gun control bills or by allowing those already enacted to remain in the body of our laws.
Being a tireless servant of the people, Mitchell responded to Maxwell only an hour later. But instead of addressing the legal and civil rights questions at hand, Rep. Mitchell steered the conversation in a different direction.
“Your folk never used all this sheit (sic) to protect my folk from your slave-holding, murdering, adulterous, baby-raping, incestuous, snaggle-toothed, backward-a**ed, inbreed (sic), imported criminal-minded kin folk.”
OK then. Not to worry, though. Mitchell’s not totally anti-gun. As dailymail.co.uk noted, much like TTAG, he’s an advocate of arming blacks and other minorities.
Mitchell’s reply also suggested that he favored arming black Alabamians before enforcing new gun-control measures, in case they needed to defend themselves from racist white southerners.
‘You can keep sending me stuff like you have however,’ he wrote, ‘because it helps me explain to my constituents why they should protect that 2nd amendment thing AFTER we [blacks] finish stocking up on spare parts, munitions and the like.’
President Obama comes in for more than his share of criticism around here. But credit where it’s due — who can argue that the national conversation on guns he’s so tirelessly promoted hasn’t been enlightening?
isn’t this two weeks old ?
Yes. And very racist.
Yes it is. Thank you for your input UNCLE REMUS…..
And nothing will happen to this piece of scum. If a white Republican had ranted about how whites need weapons to protect themselves from blacks, he’d be forced out of office in less than a week.
That guy’s a really bad speller. The correct spelling in Alabama is sheeeeeyit.
Glad to he’p y’alls.
That’s just the spelling for the expression of incredulity. He’s pretty much dead on for his usage.
Yellowhammer state?
Thats when you leave your tools on the ground and your dog comes by and pees on them. Thus, yellow hammer.
Southerners ought to worry more about heart disease than some FBI laden invisible empire.
Let’s get past the civil war over gun rights vs civilian disarmament before we refight the North vs. South civil war, shall we?
Southerners eh? Ever been to the Midwest?
So it’s ok that he slanders his constituent’s ancestors with his racist BS? That response alone is enough for me to deem him unfit for further public service. I don’t care what else good he may have done, he’s clearly not a positive representation of… anything.
Very true, and as such he should be taken to task by Congress. I, however will not hold my breath on that coming to pass, as I have no desire to end up a smurf.
Never had any particular desire to visit Alabama; neutral on the subject, you might say. Now I’ve got me a desire not to.
If it makes you feel any better, we’ve got lots of folks down here doing their best to tear him a new one. This is NOT a representation of our state. In fact, we’ve actually got legislation in our State Senate to strengthen gun rights in Alabama. I hate to see the publicity this guy is getting outside our state, but we’re doing our best to fight the good fight down here.
Excellent seeing a response from somebody on the ground. Any good public backlash on him, or has it been kept quiet?
For your information Uncle Remus, America allows you to lip off like that without getting shot in the public square…
Where did he learn to talk like that Michelle Obama?
He clearly doesn’t like white folks telling him what to do. That was hilarious.
For some reason, it reminded me of this video:
