This is how it goes in politics, especially now that this presidential season finds its way to New York: Every week a new candidate comes in and talks to the Daily News Editorial Board and says something chuckleheaded and cowardly about guns.
Last week it was Sen. Bernie Sanders, when asked if victims of a crime, the way family members of the dead of Sandy Hook Elementary School are victims, should be able to sue a gun manufacturer.
“No,” Sanders said, “I don’t.” |

I vehemently disagree with Sanders' politics.....but he got this right. Proving, I suppose, the old bromide "a stopped clock is right twice a day."

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]. |
