To repeal means to revoke, rescind or cancel. Or, to remove. To amend means to revise, alter or change to make it more accurate and up-to-date.
What I said in my letter that W. Reidel responded to with so much scorn is this: "I am not totally against owning a firearm. For I own a firearm myself, "a six-shooter, and to me that's enough to protect my family and myself from criminals or from home invasion."
I don't believe we need assault weapons, the kind that are used by soldiers in battlefields overseas in protecting ourselves from criminals here at home in our country.
To own those kind of killing machines is a dangerous thing, I think. |

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 |
