Gun-loving Denver Post columnist Jon Caldara thinks we need more gun owners.
In his latest firearms-fetish marketing spiel, he tries to disguise his irrational fear of having all of his deadly weapons confiscated by demonizing those “cultural elites” and “bigoted urbanites” who don’t share his paranoia.
Then he decries “gun-phobe cultural manipulation” to stir up some more class hatred and manipulate others into buying guns or giving extras to their unarmed friends.
Not wanting to leave a divisive, dishonest rhetorical device in his arsenal unfired, he dismisses fear of guns as something “emotional” that is easily overcome by a little target practice, then really lets loose with a couple of absurd, insulting false equivalencies.
I quote:
Most Colorado gun shops now charge about $50 to do a transfer. If it cost a dime to transfer a Quran, the ACLU would rightly sue.
In the urban/suburban world, it’s easier to come out as gay than as a gun owner.
It’s hard to feel sorry for a guy who is so good at self-serving self pity.
Don’t give me a gun for Christmas. If you want to get me something, here’s my list.
Shop now, my friends. Shop now.
