Joe the Plumber seems to encapsulate the feelings of most of the gun fetishists in this country.

Sarah Palin sure can pick winners can't she?

Samuel Wurzelbacher gave his condolences this week to the families of the victims of the mass shooting near the University of California, Santa Barbara. But no tragedy is going to stop "Joe The Plumber" from defending the Second Amendment.

In an open letter published Tuesday on the website Barbwire, Wurzelbacher went out of his way to explain to the victims' parents that the deaths won't undermine his "Constitutional rights."

"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," wrote Wurzelbacher, who became something of a mascot for John McCain's failed 2008 presidential campaign. "But: As harsh as this sounds – your dead kids don’t trump my Constitutional rights."

I think that just about sums it up.

To these people who believe that the 2nd Amendment is the MOST important part of the Constitution, there is nothing that they hold more dear.

Not even the lives of our children.
