Anti-Gun Fear and Bigotry from the Washington Post

Fred Hiatt edits the Washington Post editorial page. He wrote about a �gun free society�. He tried to repackage his gun grab and call it �gun prohibition�. He wrapped his anti-rights bigotry in terms of a �mass buyback�. I immediately noticed Fred�s distortion about violence in the United States.

Fred wants President Barack Obama to issue executive orders and make gun owners into criminals. You don�t use executive orders to change a culture; you use executive orders to disarm the US by force. Fred wants guns to protect Obama�s kids with guns, but not to protect yours.

Let�s take Fred�s ideas to their logical conclusion and look at the gun confiscation he wants.
