The Washington Post delivers a big ol’ French kiss to the anti-gunners today. Reporter Anne Gerhart even manages to find an anti-gun cab driver in the district.
We started down Reservoir Road. “I don’t like this guy Mark Souder,” he grumbled.
“Well, he wasn’t at the party,” I said. “Why don’t you like him?”
“Because he’s the guy in Congress who came up with this bright idea to get rid of this law here in the District banning handguns,” said Hudnik. “That happens, I figure my chances getting shot out here are even better.”
Well, you’d figure wrong, Mister. Driving a cab is a dangerous job. In fact, back in 2000 OSHA said cab drivers are 60 times more likely to be assaulted on the job. You don’t want to be able to defend yourself?
The cab driver blames Rep. Mark Souder, not Sandra Seegers, Nathan Price, or any of the other cab drivers who’ve fought to change the District’s law. We have yet another ill-informed citizen. Too bad Anne Gerhart wasn’t any more informed.
What’s even worse is if this cab driver used a handgun to defend himself, it never would have made the news and he probably would have lost his job.
