I got the feel that somehow this article is fake - agitprop.
The man likes shooting, wants the right to protect himself, and wants to continuously buy whatever guns have whatever features he likes - but he “loathes the NRA” and declares that it would be best if no one owns guns.
He is holding extremely opposite positions. It simply feels like this all is somehow a lie.

It would be nice if hadn’t fallen for the bogus Kellerman study and alluded to it. That utter piece of garbage research gets way too much press considering it’s been outed as crap for ages now.

I guess I’m stupid then. When a liberal gets mugged, some convert faster than others.

It can be difficult emerging from a cult, especially one as pervasive as liberalism.

Do you like what happened in New York State?
Do you think that New York’s gun control law is an acceptable model for the US?

Quite right about the ‘out of control government’ part. Libs have a childlike faith in the goodness and noble intentions of government. They are totally surprised when that corrupt government thugocracy comes and mugs them. Even after being mugged by their Big Government friends, the majority still cannot add 2 + 2 = 4. Their thinking (or what passes for it) remains crippled and deficient.
Freepers, your Contributions make every difference!
Please keep em coming! Thank you all very much!

Hey Texans, do you still want to invite gun owning immigrants from the NE to come to your state to escape harsh gun laws?

Now you’re losing me. I don’t know where those questions come from. But then I’m stupid.

>> I dont know where those questions come from.
They’re simple questions; at least, I think they are.
If you *answer* them you will see where they come from. :-)

This writer seems a bit hypocritical. Sort of a ‘Guns for me, but not for thee’ uppityness.

Northeastern liberal sensibilities, while intact on other issues, had shifted on the question of gun ownership.
Why don't those LIBERALS stay in the BLUE STATES instead of spreading their TRASH (LIBERALISM) into RED STATES??

The author loathes the NRA and then talks about taking classes and sending his daughter to a class. Who does he think trained and certified the instructors? The NRA, that’s who. He mentions getting a carry permit but doesn’t recognize that it was the NRA that did the work of getting carry laws passed across the U.S.
To: Second Amendment First
The writer is a semi-wuss and too apologetic but...... As good as it gets in the NY Times and might change a few liberal minds better than I can
So thumbs up for this article

Thanks, lib. Now we know to take you from ambush when the SHTF, instead of just walking in and taking your stuff like we can with most libs.
