Since it can be reasonably asserted that gun restrictions have in fact cost innocent lives, as Rittgers says, the next question is; who’s going to pay for forcing citizens into vulnerability? We have clear cases of a constitutional right being violated, resulting in death. We have ways to deal with the violators.

I listen to NPR daily and somehow missed this the first time around. Jeebus.

Odd that. I didn’t know they would do the “Partner content from:” thing with National Review Online. Commendable. see:

NPR? No, he’s from the Cato Institute.
Rittgers is a Wookie in a Hickey-Freeman suit.

Wow! That’s a great essay.

One of the commenters at NPR thought that the picture of Otis McDonald was of me.
In his words: “Thank you, David Rittgers, and keep rocki’ the mustache!!!”
Otis is a wonderful human being, but there is little resemblance.
Shootin’ Buddy: I’ll take that Wookie thing as a complement. Thanks.
