The Baltimore Sun recently published an op-ed that is both maddeningly idiotic and hilariously ironic regarding the city’s incredible amount of gun violence.
In the piece, columnist Tricia Bishop claims that she is more afraid of legal gun owners than she is of those who illegally purchase and use guns in the inner city — you know, the ones who are actually murdering people.
Lets stop there. That alone is ridiculous. Not only are her fears statistically ludicrous, but they serve just to compound the fears Americans have against legal gun owners. These people want one thing, to get guns outlawed, and they’ll spread as many lies as they can to make it happen.
Continue reading, however, and it gets really odd: To try to defend her outrageous remarks, she explains her “privilege” to live in a segregated city.
Excuse me? It sounds as if Ms. Bishop accidentally let her inner racist out. She feels safe, evidentially, because she doesn’t have to live with all the racial minorities that are responsible for the city’s sky-high murder rates.
Well this can be solved fairly easily. If Tricia Bishop is less afraid of those criminals than she is the white, middle-class people with whom she currently lives, maybe she should move to the inner-city, among those who make her feel “safe.”
She’d probably change her mind pretty quickly, if she makes it out alive.

Your an idiot!!!!
You are fucking stupid! Hopefully she you will need the services of a legal gun owner to save you from a horrible crime and they won’t be there.
That’s because your STUPID !!
They might stand in the way of the socialist revolution, so there is the source of her fear.
There is no medicine for stupidity !!
the stupidity of this lady is amazing !!!!!
Hard to imagine any one that stupid
Then you are a very stupid person
Lives in fantasy land
So let her meet a murderer in the dark and find out what it like to actually have your life in danger from someone who gets a thrill out of killing someone!!! She would change her mind! She talking off the top of her head about something she never experienced! She would be glad for a gun carrying citizen coming to the rescue if she were in this situation!
STUPID! I hope when one of these murderers break into your home and threaten you child, grandchild or yourself, there is one of these legal gun owners close by. Not even mentioning race. Race has nothing to do with it!
