Compromise and bipartisanship are honored American traditions that can be political suicide these days. So it’s well worth celebrating the courage of those looking for a way around Congress’ stalemate on guns.
Whether they succeed or fail, a diverse group of senators is showing a rare flash of gumption in a Congress where the partisanship is toxic.
Arizona’s Republican Sen. Jeff Flake is in the middle of the effort that includes Republicans, Democrats and an independent. |

| So, it is courageous that a diverse group of senators are conspiring to violate the Constitution and take away my rights! |

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 |
