"Another sensational murder, another clarion call from the leftist gun-grabbers. Extremists are so predictable."
"The clarion call, though, is built on a myth, a myth that somehow the United States is a dangerous place and that guns are the main reason for it."
"The truth is that the United States is one of the safest countries in the world."
"While the United States has the largest number of guns per capita, it has a surprisingly low murder rate compared to the rest of the world. It is not in the top 10. It is not in the top 25. It is not in the top 50."
"It is not even in the top 100." ... |

QUOTES
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 |
