Here They Come
This piece from Boston Globe columnist Derrick Z. Jackson is almost too stupid to be worth mentioning, let alone responding too. But, don't worry. That's not likely to prevent me from doing just that. Yes, the standard DHBA is in effect. Here we go. I'll try to be brief.
Gun victims need more than prayers
Wisconsin does not allow its law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons for self defense.
Law-abiding citizens, licensed to carry concealed weapons in the state of Georgia are not permitted to do so in courthouses.
Chicago has a complete ban on handgun possession (unless you're a criminal, of course)
One of the men in the audience was legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Ohio, but not in that nightclub.
In all of these tragic stories, the shooters were virtually guaranteed of being safe from return fire from someone defending his or her life and those of the people around him. Mr. Jackson, naturally, blames the guns for the crime, and is living under the false hope that it will be possible to rid the world of guns, and live in peace and harmony with our fellow man.
Mr. Jackson is an idiot.
Derrick, why not quote the guy who could have saved lives had he been allowed to carry his firearm on his person that night? You wouldn't be leaving out that little tidbit of information on purpose, now, would you?
I do give Mr. Jackson partial credit for this observation.
However, I suspect we have vastly differing views as to what that action should be.
Continuing on, he proceeds to discuss how Chrysler and General Motors should be responsible for the nation's drunk driving fatalities involving the motor vehicles they produced.
And what total piece-of-shit Boston Globe column would be complete without a good old-fashioned, outright lie, designed to scare the public into following along like blind little sheep.
Like I said, almost too stupid to be worth mentioning.

Gun victims need more than prayers
A man fires away at a church in suburban Milwaukee, kills seven people and himself...
Wisconsin does not allow its law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons for self defense.
An inmate in Atlanta who was headed to court brutally beat a courthouse deputy for her gun, kills four people...
Law-abiding citizens, licensed to carry concealed weapons in the state of Georgia are not permitted to do so in courthouses.
A man in Chicago kills the husband and mother of a judge, eventually kills himself...
Chicago has a complete ban on handgun possession (unless you're a criminal, of course)
In Columbus, Ohio, a man came onstage at a heavy-metal concert and shot dead a guitarist and three other people...
One of the men in the audience was legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Ohio, but not in that nightclub.
In all of these tragic stories, the shooters were virtually guaranteed of being safe from return fire from someone defending his or her life and those of the people around him.

Mr. Jackson is an idiot.
At the heavy-metal shooting, the assailant had so much ammunition that one music fan, who was trapped in a corner, said, "I have no doubt that if that cop wouldn't have killed him, we would have all been dead."
Derrick, why not quote the guy who could have saved lives had he been allowed to carry his firearm on his person that night? You wouldn't be leaving out that little tidbit of information on purpose, now, would you?

The victims get devotionals and prayer. But that is all they get. There is certainly no political action.
However, I suspect we have vastly differing views as to what that action should be.
Continuing on, he proceeds to discuss how Chrysler and General Motors should be responsible for the nation's drunk driving fatalities involving the motor vehicles they produced.
And what total piece-of-shit Boston Globe column would be complete without a good old-fashioned, outright lie, designed to scare the public into following along like blind little sheep.
But with the assault-weapons ban expired even for machine guns, stopping the proliferation of potentially cop-killing guns seems a long ways away on Capitol Hill.
Like I said, almost too stupid to be worth mentioning.
