I detest Lupica.
Bravo! Great article!
Why doesn’t Lupica mention the extremely high rate of black on black violence that occurs EVERYDAY in this country before bashing guns.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Nice article, by the way...
Don’t let this Lupica guy fool you. He, and all of his kind, use McNair’s death merely as an excuse to promote his anti-gun bias.
Hell, what does he want? That we all disarm so as to fall prey to the elites and criminals who will not disarm.
Lupica and his ilk dance on the graves of the dead just to promote their gun grabbing, nanny state, anti-freedom agenda. No doubt Lupica is busy at a cocktail party with Sarah Brady tonight to celebrate another gun death.
I use to read Lupica faithfully until he started inserting his opinion into politics. His smarmy pen reminds me of Bill Maher. Now, I won’t go near his column and the similarly smart-alecky Sports Reporters show on ESPN.
It’s more apt that Mr. McNair’s death be correlated to the hazards of shacking up with a waitress half his own age while still a married man with children. Mike Lupica instinctively blames “the gun culture” and fails to examine the far more harmful “cult of celebrity” because he is member-in-good-standing of that club. How many times must we be subjected to tales of star athletes whose private lives are train wrecks? Drug use, domestic violence, drunk raving, gambling, animal abuse, and materialistic excess are but a few examples of depravity that we’ve recently observed in the “sports” section. Rather than condemn the natural right of common people to their own self-defense and the protection of that right by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Mike Lupica ought reflect on his own responsibility to the First Amendment guarantee of a free press by writing the truth.
Bread and circuses.
America makes heroes out of adults who play a child’s game.
