Liberals Who Cling to Their Guns
By Aaron Goldstein
12.27.12
Few things animate the ire of liberals more than the right to bear arms. Liberals loathe the Second Amendment and when horrific tragedies like the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut rear their ugly head, they are quick on the draw to call for more gun control. But just dont ask liberals to practice what they preach. Senator Dianne Feinstein of California is readying legislation to re-introduce a ban on assault weapons. Yet, as Mark Levin pointed out, Feinstein owned a concealed firearm. She said, If somebody tries to take me out Im going to take them with me. When NRA President Wayne LaPierre called for armed guards to be placed in schools late last week, an irate David Gregory derided the idea during his interrogation of LaPierre on Meet the Press. Yet Gregorys children attend the same school in Washington, D.C. as President Obamas daughters. And yes, Sidwell Friends, a Quaker school, employs armed guards. Of course, such sentiments are hardly new amongst liberalisms leading lights. Back in 1981, the late Washington Post columnist Carl Rowan argued that anyone who wasnt a law enforcement officer who committed a crime with a handgun should be sent to prison for ten years without parole. However, in 1988, Rowan would run afoul of the law when he shot and wounded an intruder at his D.C. home with an unregistered .22 caliber pistol. Well, Rowan didnt acquire a badge in the intervening seven years.
