... "Do the widows turning in a rusty clunker that's been in the closet for decades know Cooper's rules for how you treat a gun, where you point it, what's behind where you're pointing it and where your finger never ought to be until you're ready to fire? Does everyone hoping to get a gift card in exchange for proving themselves kapos of convenience know how to check the types of firearms they're turning in to see if they're unloaded, and to safely do that if they're not? Including checking for a round in the chamber instead of just relying on removing the magazine? ..." ... |

"For those who wonder why MSNBC has lost nearly half of its viewers, this might serve as yet another example. A poll, hosted on MSNBC.com, asked a simple question:"
"Do you think people should be allowed to carry guns in public?"
"People were given three options for answering and, with 90,000+ votes cast, here are the current numbers (as of July 6, 2014):
- 88% – Yes! The Second Amendment guarantees it. (79,000+ votes)
- 8% – No, it's too dangerous. (7.266 votes)
- 4% – Only for self defense. (3,636 votes)" ...

"The General Court (legislature) of Massachusetts Bay Colony established the precedent for the private and public ownership of weapons by first requiring all adult males to possess a firearm and following that required town organizations to arm and maintain a company of militia. ..." ... |

"Last week, Target issued a notice on its website 'respectfully' asking customers not to bring guns into its stores. Comments from Facebook are edited for clarity and grammar:"
"I don't have a knee-jerk reaction to guns in general. However, when I walk into a Target with my child and see rifles slung over backs, my knee begins to twitch. These people are not the types I grew up with, and they appear to love their guns a little too much."
"Whether or not a state's law allows open carry, and whether or not a business asks you to refrain from doing so, you should think twice, unless you are trying to garner more opposition to your cause." ... |

"This is the first big step by Bloomberg — who has committed to spending $50 million of his personal fortune this year to build a national grass-roots movement that will pressure lawmakers to pass more restrictive gun laws — to devise a political strategy heading into the November elections." ... |

"Imagine living in a country where armed soldiers crash through doors to arrest and imprison citizens merely for criticizing government officials. Imagine that in this very same country, you’re watched all the time, and if you look even a little bit suspicious, the police stop and frisk you or pull you over to search you on the off chance you’re doing something illegal. Keep in mind that if you have a firearm of any kind while in this country, it may get you arrested and, in some circumstances, shot by police." ... |

"Despite his over-staged TV ads touting his Marine service, Pat Roberts is a coward."
"I wrote to him after the Newtown tragedy to ask why he was blocking gun reform, in the wake of not only those two dozen little children’s deaths, but also Columbine, Virginia Tech, mosque and movie theater massacres and countless other senseless deaths by assault-type weapons. I read there have been more than six dozen school shootings since Newtown." ... |

"me Court’s decision Monday in the Hobby Lobby religious freedom/contraception case, it’s important to understand what it did and did not do."

"Churchgoers in Gainesville remain divided about the state’s sweeping new gun law that took effect July 1.
Under what has been dubbed the “guns everywhere” law, houses of worship can choose whether to allow licensed holders to carry concealed weapons on their premises.
This “opt-in” provision leaves each church to make up its own mind, though some are receiving guidance from regional and national leaders." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
