As a retired British Army officer with 20 years of service and now living in Madison, I find it disappointing to listen to the debate (if it can be called that) on the right to bear arms.
It goes without saying that weapons kill and, if in possession, there is an increased possibility damage will be done. Weapons for hunting may be considered differently. One thing is for sure: A semi-automatic assault rifle is not the weapon for either self-defense or hunting and should be removed from the market. The days of Billy the Kid and the O.K. Corral are well passed. |

And two wars to pull their butts out a crack.
In WWII private American citizens donated thousands of firearms to the Brits so their home guard would not have to fight Nazi paratroopers off with pitchforks and broomsticks. And after the war those guns were melted down or dumped into the sea.
Next time we'll know better. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
