This is how it goes in politics, especially now that this presidential season finds its way to New York: Every week a new candidate comes in and talks to the Daily News Editorial Board and says something chuckleheaded and cowardly about guns.
Last week it was Sen. Bernie Sanders, when asked if victims of a crime, the way family members of the dead of Sandy Hook Elementary School are victims, should be able to sue a gun manufacturer.
“No,” Sanders said, “I don’t.” |

I vehemently disagree with Sanders' politics.....but he got this right. Proving, I suppose, the old bromide "a stopped clock is right twice a day."

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
