Here's the part of the article that made me want to link to it: > Nothing would please the political left more than a law-abiding gun-owner who used a legal firearm to defend himself or his family from "peaceful protesters," or "political activists," or whatever they will call the fascists who attacked him. What better way to achieve this outcome than to grant the power to average citizens to organize angry, screaming, violent mobs to effect a "moral" purge of the individual holdouts of a constitutional nation built on individual liberty? Should this come to pass, and it will, the left will ensure that the roles are reversed, and the violence will have been perpetrated only by the gun-owner, while the attackers are innocent victims whose "sacrifice" must not be in vain. Things will move much more quickly then. That's all that matters anymore. I'm not sure why you think I only read the headlines. Edit: Typo.
