In one of the stories that came out immediately after the Stoneman Douglas massacre, a Parkland parent, Dr. John Crescitelli, was quoted in the Guardian and I posted about it here. Someone claiming to be Dr. Crescitelli just sent me a note via our contact form. Here it is, FWIW:
This is Dr. John Crescitelli. My comments were taken somewhat out of context. I believe in Universal back-round checks that include mental health data, which would close the Gun Show loopholes. No high capacity magazines over ten rounds on any firearm. Finally, No sales of any weapon under the age of 21, and a ban on all semi automatic high velocity high capacity rifles, like the AR-15. We must fight to stop the insanity. See you in Washington in just few weeks!
I hope that’s really him – if not, it’s still a good sentiment. If you can’t make it to DC with me and Dr. C on March 24th, here’s a list of local marches.
Open thread.
Update: If you were wondering why FedEx wasn’t distancing itself from the NRA, ThinkProgress has a theory based on a leaked internal memo.
