Perhaps one of the greatest areas of division in our nation today is the debate over guns. For the last several decades we have seen politicians, celebrities, corporations and even religious groups come out against the idea that Americans should be able to own guns, and carry them on their person. Firearms known as “assault rifles” -- in particular AR-15’s -- have been heavily targeted by activists and politicians.

| This piece was well written, humorous, and biblical, a difficult balancing act for anyone. That said, it was also sobering to read a piece discussing armed resistance that I couldn't come up with a dozen reasonable arguments against beyond reasoning that armed resistance is never the correct response to a political situation. Because if that were the case this country would not exist. That this country has again come to this point is frightening, but I am truly concerned for the safety of the republic. Somebody please convince me that this author and I may both be wrong. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
