What is especially disturbing to me is the fact that we can’t have a civil discussion about gun control. The reason we can’t have that discussion is that the NRA does not respect the right of Virginians to make their own decisions.
I pray that the two sides will sit down together and have a civil conversation (without input from outside forces like the NRA, which has a financial agenda that has nothing to do with the wishes of ordinary people) about what limitations, if any, they think are appropriate and beneficial for the people of this commonwealth as a whole. |

How can you have a "reasonable discussion" with people who will not repect the Bill of Rights ? |

I am sick and tired of idiots blaming the NRA for everything they disagree with.. From this dingbat to Bloomy to Governor Soprano....
The NRA is not an all present, all knowing big boogie man. It's a fairly modest Civil Rights organization... |

TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
