I read the article as if Imus was so outraged that he armed himself to face the Doctor. (I was very willing to suspect the worst of Imus that I may have read more than was actually there.) Guns are no problem for me. Rather like them as a matter of fact. Of course that is assuming that they are in the hands of stable, rational human beings all of which Imus is not.
I know, that's how they wanted you to read the article. But one of the second things anyone notices about Imus watching him on the air, is that he's always armed. Your comment was uninformed, and now you have information. It's silly to argue to me how right you were before you knew better.
