They also had quite a few who thought enslaving other human beings and owning them to do your yardwork was a good idea. And that women as chattel was a good idea. As with all necessary progress, smarter and more moral people decades later fixed a few of the founders’ grevious and horrific errors.
So every gun owner is a ‘redneck’ with a bumper sticker on their truck?
And what if the Journal had published, say, the names and addresses of all citizens of Middle Eastern Descent? Or known homosexuals? But that would be different, wouldn’t it?
What that newspaper did was reprehensible. No occasional ‘bumper sticker’ idiot who you’ve happened to meet makes it any less so.
So has American society reached the point that you’re not safe unless armed? Whatever happened to the religious influence, the golden rule, and plain human decency?
