On the day of the tragic shooting at Terminal 2 at the Fort Lauderdale airport on Jan. 6, I had the misfortune of listening to right-wing talk radio during a long drive. Discussion turned to what could have been done to prevent the attack, and I heard that sad but persistent fallacy: "If only the other passengers had been armed ..."

In any particular incident, a gun might not be the answer. A terrorist wearing an explosive vest armed with a "deadman's switch," for example .... shoot him and BOOM! It's over for everyone. But what do you get when you ban guns? "Go on your shooting spree here" zones is what you get. The criminals DO NOT OBEY THE LAWS!!! THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLED C-R-I-M-I-N-A-L-S!!

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
