I tried to read the artical, However it was written as coherent and analytical as a Jack Kerouac novel. ( I cant get beyound the first paragrah in that book either).

Around here the ratio of Anti-gun articles to Pro-gun articles is overwhelming. But from what I've seen, the ratio of Pro-gun comments to Anti-gun Comments seems to be the exact opposite.

Simple reason, the papers control what articles get printed. They don't (normally) control what user comments get posted.

That's how it always is. If you want to sell something put a half naked babe, a gun, and a fast car on the cover.

What I want to know is why are they giving away Fist full of dollars and a few dollars more but not the good the bad and the ugly?
 
I find it amazing that people like the one who wrote that article can type so much and say so little(if anything) that makes any sense.
 
The anti 2A crowd will always give an opinion that is based on fear and ignorance and, at no time will the argument ever include fact.
 
I'm gonna have to go out and get myself a copy of the Phoenix . . .






We're having a nice big lobster for dinner tonight, and it'll be the perfect thing to wrap the guts and shells in before I take them to the dump.[smile]
 
"It seems likely, as some legal analysts have already noted, that this new right will have to extend to felons, to public places (including schools), and to ever more dangerous weaponry."

He must not have read the ruling. It was said that some "reasonable" (not my choice of words) legislation like keeping guns from felons and restricting where they are carried is constitutional. As a journalist the author should research what he/she is writing about before spewing nonsense. The author shouldn't just take for a fact what his asshat friends say at starbucks.
 
Made it as far as "ludicrous idea into constitutional law..." and then nearly blew a gasket. My only comment to the Phoenix is "kiss my a$$, you pompous liberal scumbags." If I recall correctly, the Phoenix is or was owned by the husband of "Judge" Maria Lopez, a sincere "non-activist" judge who never made a ruling based on liberal principle. [rofl] Evidently it's OK to hold a screwdriver to a 10 year old boy's throat in an attempted rape but it's not OK to legally own a gun to protect that boy from the messed up transvestite holding the screwdriver...[thinking]

These folks are seriously messed up.

The Phoenix is still around??? I remember the 'classifieds' from my college days, when it was free on campus. Hysterical ads!

Indeed. There were two such newspapers in my day; Boston After Dark and the Phoenix. The former was entertainment (and disappeared in the mid-'70's), the latter primarily political.

While The Phoenix took on much of BAD's role, it remained political and just a tad right of The Old Mole. It epitomizes the Brookline/Cambridge liberal elitist mindset.

Not that I have an opinion. [wink]
 
As if you needed further proof that the Boston Phoenix is irreparably out of touch with the rest of the country.

Hopefully, [Americans] will make McCain pay for his recent shift to the radical right.

Here's my contribution to the discussion there:

Wow, someone's been drinking the bongwater. Typical leftist, sour grapes twaddle. In summation: Jurists who can find a right to abortion in the text of the Constitution are enlightened scholars of the law, while those who find the people's right to keep and bear arms are crackpots. Your side lost. Liberty won. Suck it up, kids. And you wonder why they have to give away their newspaper for free.

Here's another Heller piece from the enlightened Phoenix folks:

Opening line:

Good news, Bostonians: you can own guns! The bad news: so can your weird neighbor.

My comment:

So, now we should be restricting people's rights because someone finds someone "weird"? That would decimate the ranks of anti-war protesters. If anything, this SCOTUS decision might pave the way for reform to the Commonwealth's gun laws that would, for the first time, extend the right to bear arms to poor, inner-city residents in Boston, unlike the current state of affairs where only the city's wealthy and politically-connected can enjoy such rights and liberties. Yeah, we can't have that! Poor people gaining equal status as their wealthy neighbors? AAAGHHHH!!!!

As a former 'Hippie', who use to hang-out in Harvard Square back in the early 70's. I remember Boston After Dark newspaper was already way ahead of the Phoenix. Too bad it went the way of the Dinosaur.[thinking]

“I’m relieved that the court endorsed this right,” says John Rosenthal, founder of Stop Handgun Violence. “Now the NRA can’t continue to use the fear of a gun ban to elect extremist leaders. It takes the bogeyman off the table.”

Think again.

Until this ruling is applied to the states (incorporation), it still very much is a political issue.

We haven't won yet... we merely established a beach head.

“The gun ownership system in Massachusetts works fairly well,” adds Darius Arbabi, an NRA educator who teaches gun safety. “If we need to have restrictions, for the most part we have sensible ones.”

WTF!.

Is this a misquote?

Several years back I was interviewed, at length, by a reporter from the NY Times working on a feature story (multiple page story in the paper). The reporter made up quotes that I never said and were not even close in meaning to what I said. He knew what he wanted for his story, so if I didn't say what he wanted then he just made it up.

It would not surprise me if Darius was horribly misquoted.

I wouldn't be surprised either (at least I hope it's a misquote), especially coming from a socialist piece of bile like the Phoenix.

I don't know what your occupation was at the time, but this particular "misquote", can cause irreparable harm to Darius' reputation as both a MA firearms attorney and NRA instructor (think Jim Zumbo).
