The Associated Press was right to leave the name of the author out of the byline in their June 28 piece about concealed carry in Chicago.  Apparently, this particular staff writer thinks mass slaughter will ensue because law-abiding citizens will be able to carry handguns.

Yes, because law-abiding gun owners have committed the vast majority of homicides in Chicago.  The lead paragraph sets the tone of the piece.  It’s inaccurate. It’s absurd – and carries the tone that is seen pervasively with the anti-gun left.
