What Happened To The ISU Pravda While I Was Away?

Zombie Rush linked to this excellent piece.

My take-away quote, but you should really read the whole thing:

I’ve come to realize after the Sandy Hook shooting that the reason we can’t have a rational gun debate is because the anti-gun side pre-supposes that their pro-gun opponents must first accept that guns are bad in order to have a discussion about guns in the first place. Before we even start the conversation, we’re the bad guys and we have to admit it. Without accepting that guns are bad and supplicating themselves to the anti-gunner, the pro-gunner can’t get a word in edgewise, and is quickly reduced to being called a murderer, or a low, immoral and horrible human being.

    I always thought that seeing something like this in any college or university newspaper was one of the biblical signs of Armageddon.

    Don't worry, once Barry graduates, all will be back to normal.
