Gun Grabbers Demand to Be Obeyed...Dammit

David Codrea has a piece continuing the theme from yesterday at Oathkeepers.org entitled Chicago Freeway Protesters Highlights Gun Grabber Sense of Entitlement Over Rights of Others. Codrea is talking about the shut down of the Dan Ryan Expressway by "Father Snuffy" Pfleger and a bunch of what will in all probability turn out to be rent-a-mobs to protest, what else, guns.  Somehow, I would have expected a Catholic priest to understand better than anyone that the cause of gun violence is not the guns, but the sinful nature of the people who wield them for evil purposes.  Obviously a case of not getting the message while at the Seminary.

The Illinois Department of Transportation maintains the Dan Ryan Expressway (which is part of the Interstate Highway System) and pedestrian obstruction is a hazard as well as a gross imposition on the rights of others who are lawfully using the system. Contrary to Emanuel’s assertion that the unlawful protest was “peaceful,” not only did it create a hazard, but one person has no right to violate the personal and commercial travel rights of another by physically imposing themselves and blocking others from going about their lives and business.

Still, as with all such actions taken by those who believe their lot in life is to obnoxiously demand that others obey them, there are plenty of indications the demeanor of the “protestors” is getting on more and more on normal people’s nerves. People previously not engaged in the “debate” have been dragged into it and inconvenienced without any say in the matter—and millions more now see it could just as easily happen to them. On top of that, there’s the sheer ridiculousness of using Chicago’s out-of-control gangland murders and total disregard for all “gun control laws” as the bar by which everyone else’s rights must be measured.
