Well, that's ... refreshing. Finally, someone speaks their truth about Gun Control

Finally, someone speaks the truth about Gun Control Advocacy.

It’s Time to Ban Guns. Yes, All of Them. | New Republic: BY PHOEBE MALTZ BOVY December 10, 2015

 Ban guns. All guns. Get rid of guns in homes, and on the streets, and, as much as possible, on police. Not just because of San Bernardino, or whichever mass shooting may pop up next, but also not not because of those. Don’t sort the population into those who might do something evil or foolish or self-destructive with a gun and those who surely will not. As if this could be known—as if it could be assessed without massively violating civil liberties and stigmatizing the mentally ill. Ban guns! Not just gun violence. Not just certain guns. Not just already-technically-illegal guns. All of them.

Oh my!

I would suggest that Liberal Media has just discovered its new Darling .. except for the disclaimer at the end of the article:
Phoebe Maltz Bovy is a writer living in Toronto. She is writing a book with St. Martin’s Press about the idea of privilege (2017).

Isn't that special.



The "...living in Toronto ..." bit doesn't make it clear whether Phoebe is an American Expatriate, or a Native Canadian.  But I guess it doesn't really make much difference, does it?

Folks who do not live in American have somehow undermined their own justification for 'having an opinion' about America and the Constitution.   If she's a native Canadian, she is entitled to an opinion even though she isn't obliged to live under the same rules as Americans.  And if she is an Expatriate, then she has already identified herself as someone who would rather NOT be an American.

Having said that, I still congratulate Phoebe for having reared up on her hind legs and said what she thought.  I don't agree with her, but I do think she has demonstrated more testicular fortitude than most of her fellow gun-control wogs on either side of the border and all sides of the oceans.

Including this side of the border, where "gun control advocates" still don't have the balls to say "TAKE 'EM ALL AWAY and let God sort 'em out".

Well, except for the nut in California, who still hasn't got the hang of Mascara Control!

Personally, I think that Phoebe is a more interesting anti-gun rabid dog that Piers Morgan!

And I hope she exploits her rabid stance, until she experiences the same fate.
