Gun Control Twist: Saving One Life “Does Not Justify” Right-To-Carry

Gun control advocates often use some version of the phrase “if it saves one life” in order to justify their ineffective proposals. This week, the anti-gun editorial page of the Chicago Sun-Times offered a different take. Fearful that the Right-to-Carry was getting too much good publicity in the wake of an Illinois concealed carry permit holder’s heroic actions, the Sun-Times editorial board felt it necessary to lecture its readers, “One brave rescue of a Cicero cop doesn’t justify concealed guns.”

I am not making this up. I wish I were.

I wonder: what is the chance the Times will survey women on whether they have ever behaved toward men in ways they now regret? Are we supposed to assume that can’t happen?

Whenever you read about ‘rising sea levels’, you need to remember that they aren’t actually rising; they’re just ‘projected’ to rise, and so OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE. But probably not.

Whenever you hear a Third World bureaucrat complain about how his country is going to be drowned and disappear forever because of First World climate change, it’s code for ‘give us money and we’ll shut up about it’.
