At the time of the attack in Las Vegas, Republicans in Congress were getting ready to pass a bill legalizing the purchase of gun silencers. Really! In addition, Collins has introduced a bill that would in effect repeal the SAFE Act and prevent the possibility of a similar law being enacted in any other state. Each of these legislative actions is being proposed in the name of Americans’ right to self-defense under the aegis of the Second Amendment. Have Collins and Reed lost any semblance of sanity? |

It is always the gun control liberals that demand common sense.
If they actually used some common sense they would have to admit:
1. Gun control laws don't work. They only restrict the rights of law abiding citizens. Criminals don't obey laws and will get guns regardless of any laws.
2. In a world without guns, young thugs would run rampant, assaults and robberies would spike out of control, and law abiding citizens (especially us seniors) would be in fear of our lives. The costs for law enforcement would double with little effect on crime. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
