I never thought that I would read a reasoned piece on guns on the opinion page of the right-wing Indianapolis Star, but I found this one a couple of days ago—and it was written by a person who teaches at a Catholic university. It’s almost as though the sky is falling. (To reassure yourself on that score, check the ESPN college basketball scoreboard. Indiana won on Saturday, and Duke lost. All is right with the world.) It’s much more likely to find something progressive and intelligent about guns in the Boston Review. What is doubly interesting about this piece, then, is that it was written by a former gun owner.
I don’t know how to make the right understand how wrong they are about guns. I hope it doesn’t take any more Sandy Hooks. Even puppies learn not to shit on the rug if you rub their nose in it enough times. Dogs are pretty stupid, though.
