Among the letters to the editor at the Boston Globe is a gem by a Boston resident Paul Duffy. (Hat tip to Shall Not Be Questioned).
He laments that “gun control” isn’t discussed more following the acts of deranged kooks.
He concludes with, “We need to find the real and moral courage to stand down the gun lobbies — the National Rifle Association and other Second Amendment zealots — whose reckless defense of gun rights has led to a society where almost anyone can acquire a Glock 9mm and the ammunition needed to ruin lives and communities in seconds.”
Where to start? Paul calls civil rights proponents zealots. I never thought I’d ever quote Barry Goldwater, but “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice”!
Paul Duffy must have slept through history class on our nation’s founding. He was also probably asleep during history class when they covered the Middle Ages.
Hey Paul: The gun control you seek will only disarm the meek.
Back in the Medieval times, people experienced a general prohibition on ownership of weapons by the common man (and woman). I don’t think most Americans have any desire to return to the Medieval times and the tyrannical oppression experienced by most people.
Gun control is racist, classist and sexist, Paul.
Quit being a whiny little bedwetter and learn the facts and leave your bigotry behind!
