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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
