Common sense, after all, dictates that of all the people who need guns it’s probably the law-abiding black homeowner living in a dangerous neighborhood who is most justified in going around accoutered. And yet that homeowner is represented by people who would leave him or her at the mercy of crooks who don’t obey gun laws and/or cops who see him or her as a potential criminal.
You would think these things would weigh on the conscience of members of the Black Caucus in advance of a legislative session like this one, and you would be wrong. Because members of that caucus have filed a veritable orgy of gun-grabbing bills for this session, all of them apparently taking inspiration if not direction from national gun-grabbing groups. |

"Mind you, none of these bills are going anywhere. Louisiana is not a state where gun-grabbing legislation gets far."

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 |
