When I boarded the commuter rail, you were already in the midst of a spirited phone conversation and didn't seem to care about how loud you were talking. You were talking with someone about the Paris train attack and the growing epidemic of gun violence in America.

People have ALWAYS been killing each other. Cain killed Abel and Cain had no gun.

One of the nastier forms of murder was/is arson: it killed the guy or gal, burned down everything aroud him and usually everyONE around him.

The gun is far more sensible as it inflicts death on ONLY the ahole, not anyone else or anything else.

Although you may hate me, a gun owner, I would risk my life for you.

That's probably the only mistake in the letter.

>> It must hurt carrying that much hate inside of you.

Its not really hate of us or guns. It’s fear. They are cowardly little people who “hold their manhoods cheap”. Our willingness to carry a gun and defend others makes them hate themselves.

Well-written letter. Gun owners can be polite, & literate too!

Lack of maturity. Fear, jealousy, self-centeredness. Childish and immature world view.

P.S. from all of us gun owners and carryers, we defend your right to be unarmed, do not attempt to disarm me/us.

Yes, MA has CCW. In 2015 I just read where permits are up 65%.

Your liberal self-righteousness and ignorance may have made you feel superior and comfortable . . . .

This guy demonstrated not only a lack of consideration for his fellow commuters but a lack of awareness by running his mouth on public transit. They suffer from the presumption that everyone in their vicinity shares their liberal opinions. To them, the nuts are always "down there."

No, it is hate. The most hate filled people in the world are inevitably dyed-in-the-wool liberals. And old #423 on Fitchburg Line out of North Station is full of them.

Of course liberals hate gun owners and the Second Amendment, we are the ultimate firewall against their dream of a universal world religion disguised as a political movement ... sound familiar ???
