I know this column will be wildly unpopular with many readers.
Honestly, I don’t want to write it. I have received all of the emails on this subject that I care to.
However, to do my part as an honest person seeking to use his voice to advance reasonable conversations on important topics, I have to address this issue again.
The lobbyist driven, legislator endorsed gun culture that conservative politics is espousing as the highest expression of liberty has to be stopped before we don’t recognize America anymore.

OK, Mr. Patriot,
What part of "Shall NOT be infringed" do you not understand? |

"Most of these fear-driven gun fetishists would, in reality, relieve their bladders down their pants legs should any situation arise that called for them to return fire."
Gee whizzz... last I checked maybe half a million to a million people used thier legal guns in self-defense each year against some criminal. I don't recall that any of these people peed their pants.
I think this author must be some type of sanctimonious jack-ass. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
