I have a lot of stuff piled up about gun nuts that I haven't had time -- or the heart -- to post to RtO. But some things won't wait.
While scanning the 'net for pawn shop stuff this morning, I came across this story from Chicago.
The Tribune story is the usual: A trained, legit gun owner -- 2 of them, in this case -- on the alert still failed to protect themselves from other Second Amendment-followers and 1 ended up dead. Hardly worth the pixels it takes to tell, happens every freakin' day.
But the comments are appalling.
No doubt you'll immediately publish a link to this article to provide some much needed balance.
ReplyDeleteLucky it was a knife. As the New Yorker http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/johncassidy/2013/04/the-boston-shooters.html said, imagine how many the Chechens could have killed with semiauto rifles instead of rice cookers.
ReplyDeleteBut, no, what I was going to link to was a pile of stories I have about Second Amendment fans shooting 2-year-olds.
For balance, I will try to find a story about an armed 2-yer-old shooting his distraught father.
The point is that anyone can stockpile stories on either side of the gun control argument justifying their position. Obviously, doing that will convince no one, nor should it. But if it makes you feel better, by all means continue.
