Boston Herald anti-gun editorial

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

There is an anti-gun editorial in today Herald. Filled with the usual half truths and untruths.
Says yo9u can buy an AK even if you have a criminal record and can give it to someone else who has a felony assault record.

It is very sarcastic and something I would expect in the Boston Globe or the NY Times

The Herald is anti-gun. So is Fox News. We don't have ANY friends in the media.

Cant find it. Link?

Hard to find because it is not an Editorial but instead an Op-Ed. Also the lack of title made it harder as one had to browse to realize what was discussed.

The comments so far are 100% against the opinions of this so called "professional journalist".

You can't take a journalist opinion seriously especially when it comes to firearms.

 

[RATTLESNAKE]

read it today...it gave me a head ache.

WHY is fox news so anti-gun? Seems their audience would want to hear pro-gun news.

Pro=gun stories are not "sexy" to non-gun people.

If it bleeds, it leads. When's the last time you heard a tease for a positive story (other than a trapped kitten ) going into a commercial break.

I actually remember seeing a few progun spots on Fox News after the Arizona shooting. They were talking about how the guy in the convenience store who was carrying ran out there when he heard shots to help and how it was a good thing that there are people out there carrying concealed.

makes me want to buy a gun for every member of my family as a gift this year!

My response.

Maybe you should get your facts straight, rather then spew anti-gun dribble that would be unfit even for a high school news paper. Anyone convicted of a felony, a violent act, or domestic abuse can not, repeat, can not own a firearm legally. A criminal is not going to stop doing crime, performing acts against citizens because he/she does not have a gun legally. Even with out a gun, a knife or bat would be used. You actually think that adding more laws will stop a criminal? I laugh at the "No Gun" signs I see in stores. Do you think that the criminal was going to rob the store with a weapon, but upon seeing the sign in the front door they turned around and said, "No, they won't allow it guns/weapons so I won't rob them."?

Legal citizens have the right to bear arms. It's sop important they made it THE Second Amendment. Once we start losing the Second Amendment, the First Amendment is right behind.

Let me ask you this, Mr. Thomasson, how many Gun stores and Firing ranges do you see getting robbed?
