The authors ideological blinders have blinded him to reality.
And, instead became a liberal,lying pussy.
Liberals can only advance their vile agenda through fraud and lies.
One of their methods of lying, and a very effective one against morons who are actually allowed to vote, is to redefine the meanings of words. Orwell pointed this out.
conservataives and liberals may mouth the same sounds, but they are speaking two different languages.
If the NRA [indirectly] supports Tuscon-like shootings, then gun-grabbers support genocide. (See 20th Century).
So, a couple of pellet guns makes the NRA a terrorist organization. This “voracious reader” of an author apparently has no reading comprehension. He probably thinks these same police officers will protect him. Being from Canada this idiot would probably wet himself if he ever saw a firearm. This article deserves a triple barf alert.
He’s a liberal. ‘nough said.
“The day before the Tucson ceremonies, on January 7, there was a funeral in Brownsville, Texas, for a fifteen-year-old eighth grader who was gunned down by police three days before.”
“Gunned down” is a term usually used for someone shot by a criminal, not by police in self defense.
The NRA has regularly and repeatedly repudiated gun violence throughout its history.
Mr. Johnson is, among other unpleasant things, a bald-faced liar.
“It was through the 1960s and 1970s that he got his university experience. In his first year at the University of Calgary, he majored in psychology/mathematics; in his second year he switched to physics/mathematics. He then learned of an independent study program at the University of Lethbridge where he attended the next two years, studying philosophy and economics. In the end he attended university over nine years (four full time) but never qualified for a degree because he didn’t have the right number of courses in any particular field.”
The author apparently feels the need to show us that he is intelligent, the evidence being 9 years (4 full time!) in college. What it actually shows is that he is a dumbass who is unable to accomplish in 9 years what most people do in 4. Perhaps he spent too much time reading. Perhaps he is undisciplined enough to complete a task that has actual requirements.
Note to Mr Johnson- Next time get the BIG glasses.
Did this little canuck fag not know about the young mother that saved her and her child's lives by terrorizing the bad guys with her two guns.
How about the 17 year old that saved his little sister from 4 vandals that were kicking in the door to their house, when he terrorized them with a shotgun.
What a giant ass, just stay in canada and STFU.
The “In Praise of Daniel Johnson, Deputy Executive Editor, Salem-News.com” biography is almost as long as the article.
lol
And seriously....”Deputy Executive Editor”? What a bunch of self-important prats.
I would contend to Mr. Daniel Johnson, Deputy Executive Editor, Salem-News, that gun control itself is terrorism, in that the disarming of people so that they may not resist violent criminals nor a corrupt government, takes away their basic human right of self defense, and leaves them helpless to barbarism and murderous oppression.
As such, it is no more defensible than throwing people into a pit full of dangerous wild animals, or abandoning them in a raft far out at sea without supplies they need to survive.
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Jefferson’s “Commonplace Book,” 1774_1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764
Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Daniel Johnson is the product of a controlled socialiest society.
Obama + CHANGE - 2nd Amendment = Homegrown American Despotism
From my cold dead hands.
He has always been concerned about fairness in the world and
and so wants to buy everyone a Coke and teach the world to sing!
It’s long past time for the American people to wake up and realize that their so-called Second Amendment rights
I just checked my copy of the US Constitution. Can not see to find the “so-called” Rights. Could only find the actual Rights.
Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Daniel Johnson as a teenager aspired to be a writer. Always a voracious reader, he reads more books in a month than many people read in a lifetime. He also reads 100+ online articles per week. He knew early that in order to be a writer, you have to be a reader.
Add these to your reading list, Mr. Johnson:
