The Wall Stret Journal's (ex, now apparently someone they just let write once in a while) Timothy Noah stuck his foot all the way up his own ass until he could taste his big toe with this piece of fish-wrapper nonsense:
There’s a sad twist to the shooting Tuesday morning at a FedEx facility in Kennesaw, Ga., where an employee injured six co-workers before turning the gun on himself. Kennesaw is one of several U.S. cities and towns that have an ordinance requiring every household to own a gun.The facts? The burglary rate in Kennesaw is the lowest in Cobb County -- as is the general crime rate.
But what's the distinguishing factor here? Why, right there in the image linked off the article itself -- and which Timothy used in an astonishingly dim-witted demolition of his very own argument.
What's that sign say? It's a bit tough to read but I think it says NO WEAPONS ALLOWED! (Twice, just in case you missed it the first time, complete with a nice pretty picture for those who are illiterate.)
In Kennesaw, you see, it is the law that each household have a gun. But, also in Kennesaw, it is not the law that businesses either have or allow weapons on their premises.
So what did our alleged assailant do? He went where there was a NO GUNS sign, expecting that there would no armed resistance to his assault. He believed that because he was explicitly told it would be the case, and it was.
Just as it was the case at a Penske Truck Rental business in 2010.
Just as it has been in many other cases, including Newtown and other schools that proudly display signs that, to someone with murder or mayhem on their mind, state "come on in and shoot (or stab, or bomb, or whatever); we guarantee that all the law-abiding people inside are unarmed and will not fire back in an attempt to stop your murderous rampage."
So let's ask the really inconvenient question: Why didn't those assailants in both 2010 and today instead try going into someone's house to commit the same murders in Kennesaw?
I think you can figure that one out for yourself.
A debt of gratitude is in order for your glorious posting! I very delighted in understanding it.
