I’m tired of hearing how important they are for hunting, or target practice, or especially protection. Protect what? A home? If nobody had guns would we have to? I’ll try a 3-iron. Isn’t it comforting to know that wherever you go, including church, the person next to you has a gun strapped on? Chicago is undergoing population extermination. Eight more people shot there one day this week, including a 9-year-old child. How about the woman in her pajamas who called 911 for help and the policeman, upon arrival, shot her to death? Good Lord! |

Yet another dufus who either fails to understand or willfully disregards the concept of pre-existing unalienable fundamental rights, hence should not be allowed to vote.
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose'. This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence." - U.S. v. Cruikshank (1875) |

Cain killed Able with a rock.
There was plenty of violence in the world before guns came into being. Blaming the inanimate tool is a sign of a weak mind. |

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 |
