Lacking Facts, Let's Fantasize

We don’t need guns in churches, schools

State lawmakers’ arguments to wipe out no-gun zones lack facts

And now Maureen Downey will demonstrate exactly what she's prepared to do if someone brings one anyway. Maureen...?

When the argument devolves into legislators wanting to let speeding motorcycle drunks carry "nuclear-tipped guns," you know they've come unhinged.

Why the Atlanta Journal Constitution makes space for crazy people is anybody's guess. Mine is that fanatics will never let go of their delusions because that would force them to recognize how deeply flawed and wrong they are about their entire lives.

From strictly an entertainment perspective, this high concentration of hysterical stupidity in one place is almost amusing--until you realize that opportunistic policy makers depend on a critical mass of lemmings to buy into the con. Our responsibility is to do what it takes to protect ourselves regardless of political outcomes.

Letting the insane or the ambitious disarm us is not an option.

It's what she's not saying that is horrible. She FEELS it's ok for animals to come into all those places and rob,rape, and murder, with the innocent unable to defend themselves. I have a term for it. Lectorthink.

Let's see...

I don't drink, and I'm too old to ride a motorcycle (even if I wanted to), but do you think I could get one of those nuclear-tipped guns anyway. Sounds way kewel!!!

"Furthermore, if used correctly, bathtubs, swimming pools and Drano will not kill children. Guns will."

Talk about cognitive dissonance! While her statement is blatantly false, the reverse is true.

'Furthermore, if used correctly, bathtubs, swimming pools and Drano will not save children's lives. Guns will.'

Why do you think the paper is called the "Urinal Constipation"? The Editorial Board is so full of BS that they can't see the truth.
