Can you say out of touch folks? Zendo Deb has this Be sure to go read it all. NPR decided to interview a woman who bought a firearm for self-protection, and NPR, being REALLY woke, well they just do not get it
But none of that, the death in her family, her ACTUAL experience in calling 911 is enough for NPR. They essentially say “I know you have valid reasons for fearing crime in your not-so-great neighborhood, but myself and those like me living in safe, suburban enclaves have negative feelings about guns that override any facts you might have.” Here’s what they actually said.
SIMON: There are people who will hear our conversation who will be very moved by what you have to say but still wish you hadn’t chosen to get a gun and doubt that you’ve done the right thing. I wonder if you have an answer for that.
At least they did ask her to respond to their “feelings.”
GADDIS: Everyone’s decisions of their life are based on what they’ve gone through. I’ve been through enough hurt and chaos to feel like this is the best decision for myself and my family. Would you rather be the victim of something or the person that came to the defense, you know? So this was the best decision that I could have made.
Oh NPR. The most insulting thing about this piece was NPR’s attitude that we all should get “community” approval before buying/owning/carrying a firearm
