I ask this question now, after nearly 40,000 Americans died from firearms last year, as suicide by firearm ranks as the second leading cause of death for young people in New Hampshire, after more Americans have died in this country by firearms since 1968 than have died in all the wars from the Revolutionary War to Iraq and Afghanistan put together. Is it enough, and will we finally do something about it? |

I wasn't *ahek* aware that NH was under siege by floods of 'illegal guns' running around killing kids.
Did I miss something? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
