Toledo Blade Offers Anti-Gun Editorial
Posted by Peter Suciu on February 28, 2010 · Leave a Comment
In an editorial titled “Get a Handle on Guns,” The Toledo Blade offered an opinion that looser gun laws are bad and cites multiple examples:
“Nearly half a dozen gun rights bills are being considered by lawmakers in Arizona and Wyoming. The Indiana legislature passed bills last month that prohibit private companies from banning firearms in employee cars on company property.
“Other states are considering measures similar to laws adopted in Tennessee and Montana that exempt those states from federal regulation of firearms and ammunition.”
Yet the editorial lacks any actual reason for not agreeing with these laws, other than the fact that writer(s) is anti-gun. That is sort of like saying “I don’t like…” well, just about anything and then not offering your reasons why this is the case. This might be fine if there were a rhyme or reason, but this editorial does seem to suggest that guns are dangerous, yet it fails to cite any good arguments. In other words this is just a typical wishy-washy mainstream media approach to arguing. Make a statement without every making the point.
