I thought that with all we're going through right now, we could all probably stand a little positive press. To that end, here is a terrific article in the WSJ...

Adios,

Great article, Bob! Thanks for posting. It's refreshing to see something like this in a major publication such as the WSJ and finally seeing a journalist expressing some common sense.

Nice to see, hopefully more will have writers do the same.

I think the antis are getting desperate. It seems like all the even-toned, non-emotional articles (like this one) are coming from pro-gunners. The antis are still foaming at the mouth "because of the children". I'm glad to see that there are more and more mainstream articles being reasonable. Even the NY Times wrote an article about the "changing face of gun ownership" because it was about women.

Holy shit that is the best article ive seen about the constitutional side ive seen to date, and from the WSJ? WOW

Thanks for passing it on.

Nice one!

Good read in a wide-readership venue!

A great article, but it seems once again the concept of "well-regulated" is misconstrued, even by the pro-gunners. At the time of the Constitution's writing, the concept of regulation applied more to machines than laws. "Well-regulated" simply means running smoothly and/or efficiently. How can the idea of being regulated by laws coexist in the same 27 word phrase as "shall not be infringed?"

 

"A smoothly functioning militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Its not a journalist.. its an OP-ED..

 

and the WSJ has been verrrry fair posting both sides of argument since day 1.. i read that paper every day..

I used to read both WSJ and NYT. Now I won't touch NYT. Their unashamed agenda driven, hack job reporting has me sick. Like the one about the conspiracy of gun makers to hook kids on assault rifles. Or the one about how the AR boom is only because gun makers have tricked us sheep into buying their wicked products.
