I’ve been writing for the past couple of months about the hoplophobia that’s been spreading through the Boston suburb of Newton, Massachusetts like a virus. Earlier this year, when townfolk discovered that a gun store was getting ready to open in the business district downtown, calls were made, groups were formed, and an organized campaign to kick the gun store to the curb was soon underway.
Over the past few months the city council has weighed banning gun shops completely, but ultimately settled on a change to zoning laws that will restrict gun stores to just a few square blocks in industrial or less-desirable pockets of real estate. Some gun control activists still say the town hasn’t gone far enough, but I ran across an interesting take from one of the proponents of the attack on Newton Firearms recently, who seems to be having some second thoughts about the whole crusade.
