If you oppose the passage of a federal law requiring background checks for gun buyers, you’re endangering police officers and empowering cop killers … and you’re not doing anything to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
In lieu of such a federal law, we have a hodgepodge of state rules, and in the South, where I grew up, they are often lax. And guns from those states, where weapons are easy for felons to buy, show up in states with tough guns laws, like New York, where they are tough to buy. |

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]. |
