Opinion Line Extra (June 18)

Orlando is another example of how gun-free zones mean sitting ducks. You can’t honestly say a good guy with a gun wouldn’t have saved lives since he or she wasn’t allowed to enter the place. Armed citizens save lives.

I think it would have more impact if we passed a law against murdering people.

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy filibustered for 15 hours to force a vote to try to keep terrorists from getting guns easily. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz filibustered to shut down the government, while reciting from “Green Eggs and Ham.” Any difference?

We hear Americans say the world’s 1.6 billion peaceful Muslims should unite in protest against the Islamic jihadists. But imagine demanding that the world’s Christians unite against such a group. Christians have fought whole wars with each other over their differences.

Unbelievable for someone to suggest we erase World War II because it was 75 years ago. That is 75 years of freedom from the tyranny we could be enduring had we lost to Hitler and Emperor Hirohito. Never stop honoring the generation of Americans who sacrificed their lifestyle and lives for us.

Wouldn’t it be funny if the private school that President Obama’s daughters attend would have boys who claim to be really females to use the same restroom as the girls?

Coming soon: Caitlyn Jenner hired as girls’ track and field coach at your local high school, with all rights and access to the locker room and showers. You can’t discriminate now. Jenner would be qualified.

Seeing Democrats resorting to violence against Republicans tells us what Democrats really stand for.

The definition of irony: Republican women against sexism?

A Tim Huelskamp campaign ad mentions he has four kids along with video of them. I have never heard an ad that said the number of kids a candidate has. He wouldn’t stoop so low as to use his kids for political advantage, would he?

Regarding Rep. Mark Hutton’s prediction that lawmakers will “spend a day or two beating the crap out of the Supreme Court and each other”: I’d prefer that instead of the legislators spending a day or two beating up on the Supreme Court, they beat up on each other. Maybe knock some sense into themselves.

Alligator attacks on humans are rare, they say. Human attacks on alligators are common. Sounds like we humans have it coming to us. Sorry it happened, but turnabout is fair play.
