Breitbart: On December 7, the New York Times made two things clear: 1. Gun controllers are losing, as exemplified by Donald Trump’s win; 2. Corporate lawyers are coming to their rescue, donating “tens of millions” of dollars worth of pro-bono work to said groups in order to help fight Trump’s pro-gun push.
Teams of corporate lawyers began working for gun controllers in a somewhat unorganized manner after the June 12 Orlando Pulse attack failed to garner any gun control traction. The teams of lawyers were not united, rather, “they worked largely on their own,” the NYTreports. Now they are unifying in hopes of halting the momentum of pro-Second Amendment advocates while simultaneously helping gun controllers secure some of their agenda. more
Obviously lawyers can make more money defending patriots that refuse to turn over their guns than people that actually shoot other people.
Not trying to draw a parallel, here, but it is kinda funny, and maybe not so much a coincidence, that most of Hitler’s top guys in the Party and in the Einsatzgruppen were lawyers.
Yep. You could look it up.
(some “doctors,” too)
And no, I’m not implying that all lawyers are National Socialists … more to the effect that most (or, at least, a lot of) lawyers are opportunists.
izlamo delenda est …
We need to put an end to this crap with an amendment to the constitution that says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Oh, wait.
Ambulance chasers = attorneys at law. They continue to develop new ways to look bad. Attacking the Second Amendment Constitutional right is so en vogue….NOT! See how well that worked for you Nov 8th? Anything for a buck. New add to the Swamp for Drainage controls.
Poor poopy-headed lawyers don’t know their constitutional law very well, do they? Oh well!
A lawyer a mugger and a rapist are in the room with you. You have a gun but only 2 bullets. What do you do?
@Burner: Shoot the guy twice.
First, kill all the lawyers. I think some old dead white guy named Shakespeare may have said that.
Donating? Oh, you mean over inflated hours billed at higher than normal rate to reduce a tax burden?
Yeah, that sounds real progressive to me.
“Shall Not Be Infringed”
You lose.
Bitch!
Sadly, Atticus Finch could not be contacted for comment.
Burner, it sounds like you’re in a room with bill clinton; best not to display your weapon—he has Secret Service protection for life, you know.
@majorityofone: A lot of people use that quote to demonstrate Shakespeare’s dislike of lawyers, but that is a misconception. Shakespeare’s exact line “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers,” was stated by Dick the Butcher in Henry VI, Part II, act IV, Scene II, Line 73. Dick the Butcher was a follower of the rebel Jack Cade, who thought that if he destroyed law and order, he could become King. Shakespeare meant it as a compliment to attorneys and judges who instill justice in society.
Dear Lawyers,
Fine. Continue to donate uncounted hours of your million dollar time. You’re still “on the wrong side of history”, if I have the current vernacular correct. You will lose accordingly.
