The complications of the gun control debate for Democrats in Texas is hard to miss at the party’s statewide convention this week.
In an exhibit hall at the Fort Worth Convention Center, Moms Demand Action, a group that is calling for changes to gun laws in the Lone Star State, is next to a booth sponsored by the Texas State Rifle Association, which is handing out literature touting its success at opposing many of the measures Moms Demand Action want.
“I’m not here to change hearts and minds,” said Odie Hitt, who was staffing the Texas State Rifle Association’s booth on Friday morning. “I’m just here to give information.” |

Since the left is so anxious to either repeal or amend the Second Amendment to suit their collectivist impulses, I propose an alteration to the First Amendment to suit my Lockean impulses.
The following clause shall be added to Amendment I of the Constitution of the United States: "...except that no religious or political philosophy antithetical to the First Principles upon which this republic stands shall be vested in the offices of government, nor in the laws proceeding therefrom."
Waddaya think? HAH? |

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 |
