OMG. Krauthammer wrote that? Has he ever repudiated this or does he stand by it today? Disturbing.
MessyKate found the entire article and posted the link at #42. (Nice work, MessyKate.) By the way, when columnists and reporters submit columns and stories, some headline writer makes up the headline. So around the nation, Krauthammer's columns could have any number of different headlines among the newspapers that syndicate him.
Here are some more quotes from the article:
"It is simply crazy for a country as modern, industrial, advanced and now crowded as the United States to carry on its frontier infatuation with guns. Yes, we are a young country but the frontier has been closed for 100 years."
"Yes, Sarah Brady is doing God's work. Yes, in the end America must follow the way of other democracies and disarm."
Is that enough "context" for you, CharacterCounts?
Clearly, Krauthammer hasn't the faintest clue what the Second Amendment is all about. Crime fighting, target shooting, hunting, and gun collecting have nothing to do with it - - it's about removing a government that gets abusive and tyrannical. The Second Amendment - - the amendment that protects itself (as well as the rest of the Constitution).
