A Baltimore Sun columnist wrote in a Thursday op-ed that citizens who legally own firearms are more frightening than the criminals who use the weapons on the rough streets of her hometown.
Tricia Bishop, deputy editorial page editor for the Baltimore paper, explained how billboards advertisements for guns and everyday Americans carrying them around made her sick.
"I'm less afraid of the criminals wielding guns in Baltimore... than I am by those permitted gun owners," Bishop said.
She says this because she believes as a middle-class white woman, she's shielded from her city's criminal element but, in her opinion, she's not protected from her neighbors' legally-purchased weapons.
"I have the luxury of being white and middle class in a largely segregated city that reserves most of its shootings for poor, black neighborhoods overtaken by 'the game,'" she wrote. "But I don't know where the legal gun owners are or how to ensure that their children, no matter how well versed in respecting firearms, won't one day introduce that weapon to my daughter."

You can’t argue with a liberal. They have no rules of logic.
I’ve got to slow down my speed reading. At first I read it as “Communist” instead of “Columnist”. But then again perhaps “Communist” is more appropriate for the writer?
Letâs see the dork move to the worst part of Obamacago and say that.
Parts of Bodymore are just as bad.
This wench has been arrested for drunk driving and sheâs complaining about who her precious daughter is exposed to on play dates.
Someone in the comment section (on he Baltimore Sun site) posted this womenâs arrest record to prove what a hypocrite she is. Itâs gold.
Clear case of white privledge here.
Absolutely correct!
This is a revealing peek under the kimono of what passes for so-called rationality in the so-called brain of a liberal.
Blithering idiot. Snappy headline, maybe, at first glance, but she never thought it through. Perhaps INCAPABLE of THINKING it through.
According to absolute statistics, the SAFEST place on the planet for regular folks like us, is Plano, TX. It has the highest gun ownership per capita on the planet.
The most DANGEROUS, is a Gun Free Zone. The very sign announcing itself is an invitation to cowardly scum to come there and wreak havoc, with the lowest chance of encountering lethal opposition.
This is NOT rocket science, folks.
Which one?
This war starts in the spiritual realm-it will end in ours though.
Which spiritual realm, and which physical realm are exercises left to the reader...
That’s what I thought you were referring to.
God Bless!
At least your comments caused me to consider my own value and belief system For a nano second I was thinking maybe an abortion might be justified.

Well, nonetheless...agnostics must be aware that at least there are forces of darkness (libs & muzzies) that want conservatism destroyed along with Christians and Jews. You must ask why?
... as Red would say!
more proof of the mental instability of the left-
She can back up her statement by inviting armed rape and murder parolees into her home- let them live there with her- of course lock the doors of the house to keep out all those icky armed law abiding citizens
The deep racism of elitists in Baltimore is fundamental to its criminal problems. The current mayor and her administration are more interested in their elitist friends to the north than the hoi polloi in pig town.
There’s a fool born every minute.. and the fool does not know he is one... for he lacks the ability to see beyond what his brain has accumulated in his fool’s world.
This agnostic certainly is!
