Oh boy. This guy is a world class hand wringer. Wants all guns to disappear so the world can be shiny and happy. Enjoy.

No point in arguing with them. The sides have been chosen and will never change. Just take a look at the comments after any gun related article. The same old arguments and name calling that has been going on as long as I've been alive. Vote for the right people and make our case at the legislature.

Pants wetters be pants wetters. Never any mention of why criminals should be tolerated. It's like they have a right to rob you and you should submit because........well just because. The fact that criminals use guns and other weapons, to them just means that guns are scary not the people, just the guns. Oye vey!

No distinction at all made if all the shootings he mentioned were involving permit holders, since he took special care to highlight permits early in the article. How many of those shootings were done by prohibited persons?

Most antis don't care. They don't like guns and one in your hands is just as bad as one in a gangsta's hands.

The scorn drips through:

"feeling lucky when it comes to their chances of getting the drop on a wiseguy"
"packing heat"
"Say hello to my little friend"
"a Glock in your pants"
"a gun owner who feels threatened — serious question: take away all the hunters and is there any other kind?"
"judge, jury and executioner"

It is a poorly written piece. Lazy and obviously pandering to the anti crowd who will overlook everything in deference to the message.
