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 Freds distortion about violence in the United States.

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

Lets take Freds ideas to their logical conclusion and look at the gun confiscation he wants.
