It’s time to start calling the current wave of lilywhite, urban-progressive-privilege-sotted gun mania what it is.<\/p>\n
Bigotry.<\/p>\n
As Jon Caldara at the\u00a0D-Post\u00a0<\/em>does:<\/p>\n Boulder City Council is on the verge of passing a sweeping anti-gun ordinance, laughably called an assault weapons ban. So loosely written, this ordinance would ban the first gun I ever owned, a simple .22 caliber rifle, the same type most farm boys get on their twelfth birthday. Its sin? It can be fitted with a pistol-grip or a folding stock.<\/p>\n I understand the fear and bigotry coming from City Council. I used to be like that myself. In younger days I was a proud member of Handgun Control Inc., now called the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence…<\/p>\n The Anti-Defamation League and The Gay and Lesbian Fund sponsors a program plastered throughout Boulder schools call \u201cNo Place For Hate.\u201d They ask students to make a resolution of respect: \u201cI will seek to gain understanding of those who are different from myself.\u201d<\/p>\n But Boulder\u2019s council has done nothing to understand the culture and values of gun owners and little to understand much more than the cosmetic aspects of guns.<\/p>\n Boulder has become a place for hate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read the whole thing.<\/p>\n And then go forth and call a spade a spade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s time to start calling the current wave of lilywhite, urban-progressive-privilege-sotted gun mania what it is.
