I recently heard a co-worker say her husband admitted he wanted an AK-47 because he liked the idea of having one of the very best assault rifles, that it would be like owning a Porsche and that firing it would be so great. An intern who worked with my daughter expressed surprise that she had never been to a firing range and said she should go, that firing a gun is so much fun. Another colleague also talked about the joys of going to a firing range and owning an arsenal of weapons. None of these people was talking about gun ownership for self-defense purposes. Instead, it was about “fun.” Why should the public’s safety be at the mercy of this mind-set? Mr. King was right. |

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) |
