To the exasperation of its opponents, the National Rifle Association has expanded its influence in recent years and pushed an increasingly radical agenda. States have expanded open-carry laws, thanks to NRA pressure, as well as the number of public places where people can carry guns – such as university campuses. Since 2004, 10 states have enacted so-called campus-carry measures, with Kansas set to do so next year.

| Ahh, moving from Cali to Alabama 18 months back and catching a breadth of freedom. How intoxicating, freedom, the stuff that has caused revolutions. |

Hey, Sosalty, from a fellow Alabamian, a belated WELCOME!
Must be a great relief to be in a free state rather than Commiefornia! |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
