Why can't I get paid to write emotionally charged misinformation?


In the immortal words of my friend Hal, "some people need to keep their mouths shut."


That goes especially for this clown.


"The Supreme Court will decide next year whether the District of Columbia can restrict handguns in a city with a big murder rate problem. Don't be surprised if the court doesn't go along with gun zealots and declare the ban unconstitutional."


I'm a zealot because I believe in the Constitution, and you're a liberal intellectual because you believe in only certain parts off the Constitution. OK, I understand now.



"The National Rifle Association is euphoric that the court has decided to hear the case. The NRA and its fellow travelers want to make sure that there are guns, guns, and more guns on America's streets, in D.C. and elsewhere."



And D.C. is ever-so-safe with their gun ban. Please. If everything was hunky-dory in the District, its gentle citizens wouldn't want guns. The people are scared, because gun laws don't work anywhere.



"Allow me a personal note. One of my mother's brothers literally shot the leg off an older brother in a hunting accident in North Dakota, where shooting pheasants is a time-honored tradition. He thought the safety catch was on and never got over causing the amputation of a sibling's leg.


So I was raised to fear weapons. It wasn't until my service in the Army that I learned to respect, rather than fear, weapons."


Allow me a personal note. One of my friends was killed in a car accident my junior year. It would have been impractical for me to eschew motorized vehicles, so I put the blame on operator error and poor decision-making. Why don't you ban swimming pools? Drowning takes more lives per year than gunfire. Your argument is ridiculous.

Peace!
