Where's the outrage about nutty anti-gun reporting?

By Chad D. Baus

A recent op-ed from Philadephia Inquirer columnist Karen Heller, entitled "Where's the outrage about gun violence?" has me asking a few questions of my own: Where is the outrage about nutty anti-gun reporting? How can so many people who shovel provably false statements on their readers keep their jobs? And was columnist Karen Heller some type of Freudian pen name playing off of Hellen Keller? She is, after all, apparently just as blind, though clearly far less intelligent.

Heller's op-ed begins as follows:

    Any fool can kill a deer. I know, because I've almost done it several times. All that's required is a car driven at a relatively good speed, 30 miles an hour should do it, near a wooded area around dusk or later.

    Voila, venison À la Camry.

    As for pen-raised fowl, released on exclusive preserves for desk-bound potentates, that doesn't require much skill, either, simply money and will, though it's preferable not to spray deep-pocketed supporters with birdshot.

At least Heller recognizes herself for what she is: a fool. But note that she must not be just "any fool", as she hasn't managed to kill her deer. And not-so-veiled slight against our Vice President aside, Heller has already proven she knows nothing about the topic she is writing on.
