Editor’s note: This is in response to the column “Gun worship has gone too far,” published in the Daily Lobo on Jan. 18. In his column, Jason Darensburg argued that despite recent legislation, people will still have broad access to guns. He also criticized the National Rifle Association’s presence in the legislative process, stating that “the NRA needs to be excluded from any further public debate on gun control.”
Editor,
Never before have I encountered such blatantly negative left-wing rhetoric before reading this column. Everything inside is not only some of the most ridiculously biased, uneducated wording I have ever read, but also attempts to persuade anyone who feels even slightly threatened by gun control. So it isn’t enough that all of Jason’s liberal ideals are bouncing around in his head — he has to share it with the world. Bravo, editorial staff. I seriously hope you don’t pay this fool for this garbage.
I don’t care to go into too many details regarding my gripes with this column, but just the idea that anyone sits at home and worships their guns is flat out idiotic. Most people don’t think about their guns on a daily basis — hell, most people don’t even clean them. Of course, simpletons like you think everyone living on the other side of the political fence is as dumb as a bag of rocks and lives in an actual pig pen.
And no, I’m not paranoid that anyone will take my guns anytime soon, especially when the state seems to be almost entirely against gun control. You’re in the minority out here, buddy. You might want to get out before the rampant gun ownership kills you.
I can always count on one mouse-minded idiot to bring the big issue of gun control to the table and make a fool of himself; this time it was made a public statement. I congratulate you, sir.
Surely your vast, unbiased intellect will prevail against us brutal, evil gun owners. If that won’t, then the sword of justice you carry on your side will surely assist you in smiting the demonic, fundamentalist conservatives, if you can get close enough to swing it.
