DonÂ’t you love it when someone mischaracterizes a dispute.

The Blagojevich administration said Tuesday it's guns vs. police when lawmakers decide this week whether to support the governor's veto of three controversial gun measures.

"There isn't really any middle ground on this issue," State Police Director Larry Trent said at a Statehouse news conference. "You either stand with the gun lobby or you stand with law enforcement."

IÂ’ll agree there is no middle ground, but I must dispute how Trent characterizes the conflict.

IÂ’d argue that either you stand with law-abiding citizens who believe in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution or you stand with proto-fascist government officials who donÂ’t.

I guess we know which camp Mr. Trent falls into – and should be worried that he will be armed regardless of the outcome of this vote, while supporters of the Constitution may be stripped of their Second Amendment rights.
