And saying "I don't know anything about this" is equivalent to saying "I don't know where my gun was when my aide came into possession of it".
Even these two statements would be contradictory. How can you read both meanings into that one sentence.
How is it not possible to read "I don't know anything about THIS" where "THIS" means "the commission of a crime"? Just what would Webb know about the commission of this crime?
I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.
Very clever. Now do you have any quotations of Webb which support that he knew the gun that the aid possessed was his and which indicate WHEN he KNEW that with sufficient certainty to admit to a felony?
And can you quote Webb saying anything that comes close to "I don't know where my gun was when my aid came into possession of it".
There does seem to be evidence that Webb violated an unConstitutional law. And that his aide unknowingly violated that same law. I see no evidence whatever that the aide would have been served a bit by Webb saying anything in addition to what he did say.
The fact that YOU would admit to a felony in a case in which it would do absolutely no good to a friend of yours, is something you seem proud of. I can't figure out why.
No one had a bigger problem with George Allen’s Jewish heritage than George Allen. I’ve never seen a worse campaign. A cannibalistic pedophile could have won.
I don’t know that he ever said it was not his but he would not say that is was before this.
He also stated that the gun was mixed up in briefcase moving between three cars. That does point to his not knowing where is gun is which is negligence.
Really? Locked cars? With alarm systems? Perhaps located in secure parking lots? With video surveillance? Perhaps safer in all three instances than the inside of my house?
The problem with our unConstitutional anti-gun laws is that they are intended to either disarm us or make us guilty of crimes. Seems to be working, doesn't it?
It's not like any of us believe that the anti-gun Senators like Feinstein or Kennedy are disarmed. It's the law that is wrong, not Senator Webb. He may be guilty of other misbehavior, but I am not going to condemn him for keeping and bearing arms, nor for avoiding having to directly confront the DC law, nor for having maintained a prudent silence during a time when speaking out would have incriminated him without helping his aide.
If he votes anti-gun, I will heat the tar while you get the feathers.
WT,
I’m not trying to pick a fight here but I always know where my guns are, ALWAYS.
That is part of the responsibility you take on as a gun owner.
Webb seems to have lost track of his.
That’s all I’m saying
Thank you. Now go back to DU with your other Webbite buddies.
...As usual you’re mistaken. If you’d bothered to read the past posts or remembered my stance about Webb, I quit supporting him when he was embraced by the Clintons. Of course, I didn’t support “Macaca” chickenhawk Allen either so I voted 3rd party (a local libertarian).
Ever been to D.C. Johnnie? If you stray too far from the tourist centers on the mall, you'll find that it's not exactly like St. Paul or St. Cloud...IOW, you'd better be carrying something.
Even former D.C. Mayor Marion "Crackpipe" Barry agrees about that fact, expecially in his Southeast Washington 8th Ward District. If you're not carrying then you're not going to be around long in Barry's burg and it doesn't matter what color your skin happens to be. The Navy Yard, where Webb probably goes from time to time, borders on Barry's district and it's mighty easy to get lost in trying to get back to the beltway from there, even with a Tom-Tom...I should know I've been there, done that. But I was smart enough not to ask directions from the local citizenry and smarter still to carry a .357 under the seat of my auto; just in case I was approached by carjackers at stop signs.
You could have just said, "No, I can't back up my assertions with quotes by Webb".
I can't imagine anybody cooperating with the DC prosecutors who are attempting to infringe the right to keep and bear arms. The prosecutor there is not your friend. Nor is the prosecutor Webb's friend.
If you insist that the right thing to do is to admit to an unConstitutional felony without any prospect for helping a friend, then feel free to do so. I won't. Nor do I expect any rational person to do so.
That is not now, nor was it ever the issue.
I know it's incredibly naive of me, but I'd expect someone with Webb's supposed "character" to have the cajones to tell the truth.
Likewise, for those of us who happen to believe in the 2nd Amendment, it is incredibly irresponsible not to know where your weapons are at all times.
The quotes are out there, although Webb has removed the statement from his officail website. But what he said was "this was an oversight on the part of Thompson."
The law doesn't apply to liberals. We get it.
Webb was, and is, a lying RAT scumbag with some real mental problems. I can’t believe some Freepers are defending him. (well, yes, I can believe it, unfortunately)
