In the wake of
the Sandy Hook tragedy, there’s been a lot of talk about guns. Or rather,
there’s been a lot of shouting about guns. Both sides seem unable to see how
anyone could believe differently, and in general, both act from good motives. On the one side,
you have the Right, who are prepared to fight tooth and nail against increased
gun control. On the other, the Left is pushing for a ban onassault rifles.
I recently
listened to a particularly heated discussion—I should say knock-down, drag-out fight—on the
subject between ultra-liberal Piers Morgan and ultra-conservative Ben Shapiro.
First, kudos to Morgan for having the guts to have Shapiro on there, because
Shapiro obviously came with an ax to grind (or a rifle to prime). Shapiro got
off to a quick start by accusing Morgan of “standing on the graves of the Sandy
Hook victims” to advance his political agenda. He proceeded to not pull any
punches.
