A Baltimore Sun columnist wrote in a Thursday op-ed that citizens who legally own firearms are more frightening than the criminals who use the weapons on the rough streets of her hometown.
Tricia Bishop, deputy editorial page editor for the Baltimore paper, explained how billboards advertisements for guns and everyday Americans carrying them around made her sick.
“I’m less afraid of the criminals wielding guns in Baltimore… than I am by those permitted gun owners,” Bishop said.
She says this because she believes as a middle-class white woman, she’s shielded from her city’s criminal element but, in her opinion, she’s not protected from her neighbors’ legally-purchased weapons.
“I have the luxury of being white and middle class in a largely segregated city that reserves most of its shootings for poor, black neighborhoods overtaken by ‘the game,'” she wrote. “But I don’t know where the legal gun owners are or how to ensure that their children, no matter how well versed in respecting firearms, won’t one day introduce that weapon to my daughter.”

If these guns were ILLEGAL, would she fear them less?
You only have to read the comments under articles everywhere in America to understand why a “journalist” would be afraid of law abiding citizens.
Ooooh, not in the suburb!
That would hurt worse then when Caesar go stabbed in the rotunda. Which would have been less so if he’d laid off the BBQ ribs.
Serious, this chickie is a special kind of stooopud.

Columnist Communist: I am More Afraid Of Legal Gun Owners Than Gun-Wielding Criminals
And we have the right to observe that she is, in fact, stupid. Also ignorant, uneducated, consumed by fear, and determined to stay that way. She occupies the left side of the bell curve ...
Here we have a dope that spews idiocies. One pistol whipping and rape will set her straight
A look into the swarming mass of contradictions and nihilism that is the liberal mind.
I am continually reminded that half of the people in the world are below average IQ.
Yes, that is such overwhelming stupidity. So law abiding people are more likely to kill her than criminals???
My fear of what liberal paranoid idiots like yer will do to me, are far, far more rational given the last 50 years in this country, than her irrational fears about legal gun owners.
More guns than ever, less accidents with them, ever. Statistical fact trend. She is paranoid irrational. Fears not grounded in reality.
What liberals have done to this country the last 50 years, 55 million children dead before they are born, millions dead by stds, Godlessness abounds, government worship/unbridled socialism, destroying constitutional rights they hate, creating others that don’t exist, special legal classes and special over-equal laws, war on whites, etc. My fears are rational and grounded in reality.
Dear Tricia Bishop or whom it may concern living in a segregated city in a middle class neighborhood (I thought you liberals ended segregation), but I digress - there will come a moment when some gang banger will decide to rape and rob you just for kicks - he was bored with the usual fare and a short jaunt to your area seemed exciting - well, there you are and seconds count, and the police are minutes away — have a nice day.
Why should I or anyone else care what she is afraid of? I don’t.
344 murders in Baltimore in 2015, but only one of them matters to her (or to BLM): Freddie Gray.
I’m glad so many ‘Progressives’ don’t want to own guns. Their fantasies about their neighbor would appear to be signs of mental illness.
More fool you, Trixie. Or Tricia. Or Terry...(my new Colonel Sanders imitation).
