Moral of the story: If the NYT supports your position, you have the wrong position.

Agreed. You instantly lose all credibility as a gun rights supporter when you start citing the words "well regulated" in the second amendment as carte blanche for government regulations limiting gun ownership. It shows that you are just as foolish as the worst political offenders.The article is pretty lousy. To be sure, there's obfuscation - bringing up the dismissed murder charges against Venola, for example. That's to be expected from the NY Times. The biggest problem with the article, though, is that it misses THE fundamental problem with the Metcalf column. That column (which I hope everybody here has read) accepted the gun-banner's revisionist and wholly inaccurate re-definition of the term "well-regulated" in the 2nd Amendment. His column treated "well-regulated" as equivalent to "limited by written rules", a mistake that no one who's been involved with guns for as long as Metcalf should *ever* make.
When I read his column, I had to (figuratively) pick my jaw up off the floor. Dick simply doesn't get it. Maybe he never did or maybe, somewhere along the line, he somehow forgot it.
Whatever the process by which he lost touch with the truth, we're better off without him.

That would require intelligence, not just being opinionated azzholes. Who "Believe" they know it all.At some point you'd think liberals would learn not to kill their golden goose...
He says he is still contemplating how a self-described “Second Amendment fundamentalist” who keeps a .38 snub-nose Smith & Wesson revolver within easy reach has been ostracized from his community.
1.) Because he's not.
2.) Because he's a dumbass. This is like a NAMBLA advocate failing to understand why he's been banned from the Boy Scouts.
"No one should be protected from the effects of his own stupidity." Good to see Metcalf got what he deserved. Too bad he's too stupid to figure out why.
Know him personally. Rich little boy from a rich little family, like mafia with guns. Grade A asshole.
