We re coming for your guns says Tallahassee columnist - Seattle gun rights Examiner.com
A weekend column by veteran Tallahassee Democrat journalist Gerald Ensley, which he concluded by warning gun owners that, “We’re coming for your guns. And someday, we’ll take them,” has stirred up a hornet’s nest, he confirmed in a telephone conversation with Examiner this morning.
Yesterday, Dan Cannon, writing at Guns Save Lives, called it the “worst anti-gun editorial in the history of anti-gun editorials.” Ensley told this column that he has received more than 200 e-mails and more than 50 telephone calls, including a few threats. More than 700 responses have been posted on the newspaper’s website.
The 63-year-old Ensley expected a fiery reaction. He’s written about guns in the past. He’s never owned a gun, and he obviously wishes nobody else did, either.
“I'm not talking about gun control,” he wrote in a column headlined, “Stop the insanity. Ban guns.”
“I'm not talking about waiting periods and background checks,” he continued. “I’m talking about flat-out banning the possession of handguns and assault rifles by individual citizens. I’m talking about repealing or amending the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”
Not much wiggle room there. Ensley said the chance that only outlaws would have guns if guns were outlawed is “a chance worth taking.” He reasoned that, “Because if we ban guns, eventually the tide will turn.”
