| I am more cynical... Gun control politicians, being fully aware that the laws on the books haven't worked as promised, and will not work as promise, seek to add more restrictions that (they know) will not work as promised. They do this not to actually create a society where no gun violence exists, but to create a political environment where citizens clamor for supposed safety so loudly that they give up their freedom and become slaves to the almighty Government. History is forgotten: Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Communist China... all of the reigns of terror and government-directed murder of their citizens are ignored. History may not exactly repeat itself, but it does rhyme, and it has been a grim tale for many. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
