Boston Journalist Exhibits Irrational, Hateful Opinions on Disabled Persons

Rational arguments are not a requirement for journalists' essays. In this one Margery Eagan a woman with good personal practices seems to lack awareness of statistics and reason regarding two subjects mentioned herein. She laments "how easily even the mentally ill can buy high-capacity weapons." "Even for the mentally ill?" Who are more dangerous and violent? Normal persons or persons with disabilities? Why does this alleged compassionate Boston/Brookline journalist/radio talk show host continue to demonize persons with disabilities as if they are all dangerous? Why does she bash them and their right to bear arms guaranteed by the US Constitution? Is there an exception for disabled persons in the Second Amendment?

She joins the misguided totalitarian liberals and Communists who want to stop civilians from keeping arms. John Lott's book, More Guns Less Crime, established the fact that the more armed citizens the less violent crime. But you would think it was the opposite. Adolf Hitler that liberal Socialist darling took arms from his citizens in Nazi Germany. Public spirited Josef Stalin took guns from Russian citizens too. How did that work out? But in Boston and Brookline the misguided useful idiots continue to promote less guns and more violent crime. If one legally armed citizen was in that theater when the shooting began he could have stopped the carnage. But there was no one with a weapon. Last week a 71-year-old man stopped two armed robbers in a coffee shop. Why are liberals deaf and blind when it comes to guns?

She learned to her horror how easily even the mentally ill can buy high-capacity weapons. She has since worked diligently to toughen guns laws.
