I saw a video a couple weeks back, maybe at Kim du Toit’s site, of a guy who fired off a 6-shot revolver in about 1 second. He could empty the pistol, reload with a speedloader, and empty the pistol a second time in about 3 seconds. What was this kid’s point again?

He may be studying journalism, but he is not practicing it. Journalists don’t interpret Constitutional law. They interview lawyers and law professors and quote them. That’s why his piece ran as an opinion piece.

The main question is why would this publication run such a weak opinion. The answer could be that they don’t know any better, or perhaps they do know better, and they were hoping to generate a lot of responses and let the whole episode serve to better inform their readers. There is nothing like a good airing of point-counterpoint to separate facts from myths and strong arguments from weak.

It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
