West Burlington’s Mayor refers to Gun Owners in Iowa as “Nut Jobs”

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

This past week, in response to an NRA letter opposing the City of West Burlington’s “firearm ban” ordinance, Mayor Trousil said: “That’s too bad… they need to sit in our chairs and worry about these nut jobs that go around with guns.”  Why does Mayor Trousil think that Iowans, who decide to exercise their rights and lawfully carry or possess a firearm to defend themselves and their family, are “nut jobs?”

Let Mayor Hans Trousil know that you want him to defend your Second Amendment rights by obeying the state preemption law and overturn the “firearm ban” ordinance.

Please click here to view the letter NRA sent to the City of West Burlington on July 7.

Please contact Mayor Trousil and the West Burlington City Council today and urge them to oppose this firearm ban.  To contact the Mayor and City Council please call (319) 752- 5451.  Email addresses are listed below.

BANG!

[EyeGuy]

That’s OK.

I consider the majority of politicians such as Hans, to be cowardly, corrupt, no talent, arrogant parasites, too weak to make it under the rigor of the free marketplace.

For some reason, the majority of East Iowans I’ve run into are leftist nut jobs. It’s not until one is west of Des Moines that sanity becomes a majority fact (generally continuing westward until one hits the CA border).

I wish evil on no one. However, I pray that mayor Trousil is awakened some morning about 2am by an intruder who is putting a gun in his face. Call 911, Mr. Mayor, they'll get right on it and be over in about 10-20 minutes. In the meantime, you can pontificate to the perp about how the 2nd amendment only referred to a militia. You might end up dead and your opinion irrelevant.

I Googled him. A typical overweigth Midwest socialist.
My wife has a BIL that looks and thinks just like him.

I believe the junior college in Burlington offers gun smithing. How odd...

[VideoDoctor]

How about.. “Burlington’s Mayor is a NUT JOB”

“That’s too bad… they need to sit in our chairs and worry about these nut jobs that go around with guns.”

He must be talking about the police....

[Stentor]

From his bio. ; Mayor Trousil was born in a small community just north of Frankfurt in what was known as West Germany in 1953. He along with his parents and sister emigrated to the U.S in 1964. He became a naturalized citizen in 1972.

Interesting if not totally explanatory.

[LibLieSlayer]

File suit against this jerk for violating or promoting the violation of your Constitutional Rights... or just beat the crap out of him and pay the fine.

How about a ‘NUTLESS job’?

[Lancer_N3502A]

Drear Mayor Trousil;

I think your going to be out of a job.

Sincerely,

Gun Owning Nut Job.

The EuroSocialists love the comfort and safety of their nanny state.

They simulataneously misunderstand, envy and fear the inherent independent, liberty loving spirit of Americans, reducing it with the dismissive, juvenile term of “Cowboys”.

It might be hoped that intelligent Euros realize that America and to a lesser extent Australia/New Zealand are the last, best hopes of Western Civilization.

Burlington....what state? Vermont?? SURELY the folks in Vermont have better sense.
