Yes, the timid dears cowering under desks in the [Red] Star's editorial offices are cheering our Mayor's most recent misstep. The paper could not be more pleased to see him promising to veto a proposed city ordinance that would allow law-abiding permit-holders to carry their firearms in city parks.

...And all this under a proud quoting of the First Amendment. Only one that matters, Mr. Editor? Keep dreamin'.
Gee, it all hearkens back to the old days when the city paper fretted over removing the ban on "negros" in the parks. They predicted ruination then, too.
Mencken is spinning.
