Editor’s note: This is in response to the letter “Don’t bring your sword of justice to a gun fight,” published in Tuesday’s Daily Lobo. In his letter, Patrick Gallagher criticized a column by Jason Darensburg urging stricter gun control. Gallagher criticized what he perceived to be the columnist’s left-wing agenda.
Editor,
I am appalled at the biased and unprofessional nature of the letter posted by Patrick Gallagher. He tosses out “liberal” as an insult, even jokes about how justice won’t be able to touch him, because he can just shoot it.
“I don’t care to go into too many details regarding my gripes with this column,” he said. That’s because he hasn’t done any factual research to back up his argument.
In fact, he has shown no proof to back up any of the claims he’s made. And what claims has he made, other than “liberal” being a bad word? At least Darensburg has all the deaths caused by guns in America to back up his claim; where’s your evidence, Gallagher?
All you do is insult Darensburg and call him names, like a 7-year-old bully.
I love when stupid conservatives try to act like they’re smart, because it just shows how immature they really are, and how much they don’t care about other people. Isn’t that right, Gallagher?
You’d think holding onto a hunk of metal used only to kill things, which in turn will allow people who aren’t supposed to have them to have them, is more important than preventing even one mass shooting? Why don’t you go up to the parents of students at Sandy Hook Elementary School with your guns and say, “Sorry folks, but these guns are more important to me than saving the lives of children.”
But with “people” like Gallagher, as long as it doesn’t affect him, it’s not his problem, right?
