When May I Shoot a Student?---A must-read masterpiece of weaponized snark.

14. Are you an NRA apologist?

Not criticizing, just asking?

Did you actually read the entire op-ed? I have reason to believe all you read was the snippet in the post. If you read the entire op-ed (or even seriously read the snippet) you would understand he was asking serious questions wrapped in sarcasm. If anyone is a dolt it may be you if you didn't understand this was written sarcastically to raise a discussion on a very serious topic.

Serious questions should be raised about increasing the legal presence of firearms on campus. We are all aware that there are firearms on campus today contrary to current law.

Affirmatively legalizing carry on campus encourages carry. That fact should be subject to debate and consideration by the legislature.

I have never owned a gun and will never own a gun. My HOA prohibits firearms in the community. I would never live in a community that permitted firearms. My church will vote to prohibit guns anywhere on church property should the GA legislature legalize it.

I have nothing against the legal ownership of firearms. I think all purchases should be subject to background checks. Why the fascination with guns? I have never understood it. I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist but from the outside one plausible explanation is a sense of constant fear, cowardice, making up for other shortcomings, paranoia, etc. I am not suggesting any of those are the reason but they are certainly all plausible sources for this need for and love of guns.
