Recent events remind me of the only lasting memory remaining from having poked my head inside a long-ago gun show at the Astrodome: Metal detectors were at the entrance.
Yes, even a gathering of gun nuts didn’t want nuts with guns joining the day’s congregation.
I use that example to illustrate why people who denounce gun control need to define their terms. After all, stationing metal detectors outside a gun show clearly is gun control.
But what about our freedoms?
Welcome to a national nightmare. |

| At the conventions the secret service demands no weapons of any kind. However how many people were shot with all those armed open carriers outside the convention? That is right none. |

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 |
