Just got a F--- You Very Much response from Perlmutter - he's a bigger douche than I thought!

The second amendment exists so that we can protect ourselves from people like him who would seek to undermine the constitution and circumvent the principles that founded our country.

"assault clips"... fucking morons.

Oh! Well I'm OK with them outlawing "assault clips". I only have defense magazines ("Politicized PMAGs" mostly). Assault clips...the sound of that is so scary I think I just shit my pants. Let me check...yup, crapped em'.

Freaking liberal Jews, you would think after the crap they endured in Nazi Germany, that they would think with reason. I have good friend who is a conservative Jew, I just wish she was in office...

You should have told him that point blank...

The best possible outcome...

Fuzznuts, er, the Honorable Mr. Perlmutter gets about a zillion constituent letters saying "knock that shit off."

He then goes to his party's leadership and says "I'll make some gun control speeches, but if we seriously push this bill I'll be slaughtered in the polls in 2014."

Which leads to that wax sculpture of a House Minority Leader arranging for his bill to die in committee.

(The alternative outcome: Perlmutter pulls his stunt and gets the same thing that Betsey Markey did after Obamacare: a consolation-prize undersecretaryship in the Department of Agriculture as a payoff from Obama for taking a principled stand that resulted in his being thrown out of office.)

Which is why drowning his interns in letters (not emails. Real letters.) is even more important. I don't worry about Cory Gardner or Mike Coffman doing the right thing. And I have absolutely no delusion of Diana Degette or Jared Polis being afraid of losing an election. Perlmutter is at least a little bit electorally vulnerable, and he knows it.

Vote them all out!!
