Seems the Obama Admin. latest is an "encore performance" of the liberati - induced ban on "Saturday Night Specials". We all know how that turned out. Only poor individuals were "disarmed" - by economic hardship. And street cops faced criminals armed with better, more reliable, guns.
I - unlike most of the anti-gun crowd - accept others have the "right" to express their opinion on firearms ownership". But I must insist the AG's do not have "the right to their own facts" ! Surely, in the 21st century we have the technology and resources to secure and assemble accurate data on the misuse of firearms. And - I hope - the morality and ethics to address the issue with civility. So far restraint seems to be unilaterally pro-gun. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
