"The so-called assault weapons ban was the benchmark piece of legislation reflecting the anti-gun policies of people such as Clinton, Gore, Feinstein, and New York Senator Charles Schumer." ...

Is cross burning ever free speech?

"But that turns history on its head. Adolph Hitler and the Nazis exploited hate speech during the Weimar Republic to poison the minds of the German electorate and to capture the Reichstag. And then came the end of free speech and the Jews. Cross burners in the United States, whether or not they intend to intimidate, aim at a similar grisly chapter for blacks and speech celebrating equal rights. Why should the risk that they might succeed, no matter how tiny, be accepted when cross burnings make no contribution to civilized discourse?"

"The ability to determine one's own destiny, for good or bad, for better or worse, is as much the definition of freedom as any. I know that this definition may seem flawed by the fact that some may choose to do badly to others. I am not so naive to believe that there is no line of demarcation between this freedom and another person's freedom. In fact, unlike most of my peers ... I believe there is only one line that a person cannot cross without destroying freedom."

Their proposal would allow state judges to force some suspected abusers to give up their guns when the courts issue temporary protection orders against them. Judges already have that power when issuing permanent protection-from-abuse orders."

You will pull the trigger with a lock on, and I'll pull the trigger. We'll see who wins. — Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, whose testimony convicted John Gotti.
