They don’t let you comment over there unless you set up an account. So I’ll post it here.
From the article;
“In the aftermath of a gun tragedy, there isn’t anything wrong with proponents of gun control trying to persuade Americans to change their position in light of what happened.”
Um, yes, there IS something wrong with that. There’s a LOT wrong with it, namely the fact that gun restrictions are precisely what gave a determined killer a large number of legally disarmed victims under his control, like shooting fish in a barrel.
You may as well say there’s nothing at all wrong with strenuously campaigning against all human rights. If the right to self defense, which is inseparable from the right to live, is fair game in the normal political process (the second amendment notwithstanding), if offering students up (in “self defense free zones”) as lambs to the slaughter is to be seen as a normal and acceptable part of civil conversation, then we have a HUGE problem in this country.
No, Young Grasshopper; Extremism in the defense of life and liberty is no vice. And let me say also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. A right is a right, and to say that we can always and forever consider massive and deadly violations of a right as normal politics is taking a rather twisted and sick position, methinks.
