It is true that there are some gun reforms that ought not to worry gun owners. It seems almost everybody, including — reluctantly — the NRA, thinks we should do something about bump stocks, which turn semi-automatic guns into basically machine guns and contributed to the bloodbath in Las Vegas.
I'd go further: there are "assault-style" weapons that are grossly over the top for hunting or self-defense. Background checks and other safeguards, like the ones we put on drivers, could be implemented without unduly burdening responsible gun owners. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
