“Most comments at that site are completely idiotic.”
You have grossly understated their idiocy, sir! They are intolerant, arrogant, dismissive and literally dehumanize the author & anyone who agrees with him or carries CCW.
The scary part is that this is the Boston Globe, a journal informing liberals how to think on current issues as much as the New York Times. Our ruling class, in other words, or so they think themselves.
The late great William F. Buckley’s most presicent statement, IMO, was this:
“I would rather be governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than by the faculty of Harvard University.”
Again, the sheer arrogance of the commenters, combined with their belittling of anyone who disagrees with them, is something that shouldn’t hold the levers of power in any society that values liberty.
Thank you for stating it correctly.
