No, it's not. She lost me here.
I expected better from Sommers, usually she's pretty good.
The whole point of her article is advance just that disagreement. It is the claim that she is countering.

Our passionate rely that we LOVE the children more and are only calling for such extreme measures as forced church attendance - is because WE want to protect the children - the children they don't seem to care about...
I wonder if the MSM would stand with us because of our great love for children - and our not so hidden disgust with liberals... (Gun control is a liberal dog whistle for their hatred of traditional Americans)
Christina Hoff Sommers needs to consider the possibility.
