Columnist: I’m More Afraid Of Legal Gun Owners Than Gun-Wielding Criminals
Daily Caller ^ | 01/08/2016 | Scott Greet

Posted on 01/08/2016 1:50:37 PM PST by Responsibility2nd

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.”

I am continually reminded that half of the people in the world are below average IQ.

Yep. And then there are journalists. Which drag down the lower .10 percent.

Why would anybody read anything written by someone that stupid? I wouldn't trust a cookie recipe from someone that dumb.

They are almost as costly as the big buses. Special seat covers and floor covers that are easy to clean, so when Chrissy Matthews gets to ride, whatever tingles down his leg that day is easy to clean up.

I once used my white, middle-class luxury in conjunction with a dollar, to purchase a doughnut. I was uncertain whether the third world clerk tampered with it, so I dropped it in the waste bin.

She might as well say she’s less concerned with registered sex offenders than she is of random men who have penises where their vagina is supposed to be.

Pistol whipping, yes, rape, no. I think a lot liberal women are fine with rape. For some of them it’s probably their only chance for sex...

Liberals are such smug a-holes.

Drop her off at ground zero in Baltimore with a roll of dollar bills strung around her neck. At night. With no cell phone.

Let the ferals have their way with her.

Dumbass liberal broad.

A lot safer there since most all guns are stolen and nobody who’s a law abiding citizen with guns lives there.
