3. It's from a letter he posted yesterday.

I am sorry you lost your child. I myself have a son and daughter and the one thing I never want to go through, is what you are going through now. But:
As harsh as this sounds – your dead kids don’t trump my Constitutional rights.
Richard Martinez, whose son (Christopher) was among the murdered, choked back tears at a news conference, blaming politicians the next day: “The talk about gun rights. What about Chris’ right to live?” Martinez said – and much more.
There are no critical words for a grieving father. He can say whatever he wants and blame whoever he’d like – it’s okay by me. You can’t take a step in his shoes – at least I can’t.
But the words and images of Mr. Martinez blaming “the proliferation of guns”, lobbyists, politicians, etc.; will be exploited by gun-grab extremists as are all tragedies involving gun violence and the mentally ill by the anti-Second Amendment Left.

Also at Joe the Plumbers website you can sign up for a "Family Gun Package Giveaway!" I'm not going to link to his website - but you can google it if you want.

Also Salon has an article on this.

9. Is it even remotely possible he wrote that statement himself?

To me it sounds way too tightly constructed, carefully hitting RW gun nut points A, B, C, and on.

5. Do those who are shocked really not realize we have some gunners here saying very similar?

That's why I have concluded that, with some, but far too few exceptions, gun proponents are the most callous and selfish people in this country. Something I would bet the majority of not only DUers, but Americans are now concluding.
