by The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (sic) must be ecstatic. The presumed election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will allow them to return to using their favorite epithet from the Obama years.
Insurrectionist!
If you criticized the Lightbringer, you were an insurrectionist. If you were pro-gun, you were an insurrectionist. If you knew the purpose of the Second Amendment was to stand up to a tyrannical government, you were an insurrectionist.
Josh Horwitz, the head of CSGV, wrote long diatribes in the Huffington Post accusing the gun rights activists and especially the NRA of being insurrectionists. He even wrote a whole book on it.
They suffered through four long years of the Trump Administration where they couldn’t use the term “insurrectionist”. While there was true insurrection going on in the bowels of the Deep State, that couldn’t be criticized because, you know, Orange Man Bad. Besides, that was resistance and not insurrection. Resistance was good and proper in their febrile brains.
However, it seems there was a protest by conservatives in Oregon. As the tweet below indicates, that must be insurrection. It is hypocritical given how they have ignored the violence wrought by Antifa just 50 miles up the road in Portland. However, hypocrisy and the gun control lobby have long been friends so I guess it is par for the course.
This is the Insurrectionist Idea.

"As Troopers attempted to keep them from entering the main area of the Capitol, the altercation became physical (pushing). A protester sprayed some kind of chemical irritant (mace /OC / bear spray) into the vestibule."https://t.co/tc7c9ZhqUE
Can I suggest that every time you refer to the Executive Director of CSGV you call to him “Josh Horwitz, the Oompa Loompa of Gun Control,” please?

I almost referred to him as a munchkin but I refrained. I won’t next time.
As near as I can tell, the only guns present were police guns which weren’t used. But as we have seen repeatedly with leftists, words have “fluid” meanings.
Too bad for our side there are so many people helping Josh out by running around saying “we’re gun owners, and we’re insurrectionists!” while flaunting their guns in public spaces. Yes, they have every right, but then don’t complain when some people take them at their word.
