"U.S. Rep. Jim Himes (D-4, Greenwich) joined leading gun-safety advocate U.S. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, Democratic leadership, and other proponents of gun safety for a press conference recently to urge passage of a bill to outlaw assault gun magazines." ...
"He said there is a 'pernicious argument, most lately articulated by Gov. Rick Perry of Texas … that more guns in a nation awash in guns will make us safer. The facts, the history, the data show that that is not true. ...'"
"Mr. Himes said the idea that more American firearms will make the country safer 'is not founded in reality, facts, or history; it is founded in the fantasy of testosterone-laden individuals who have blood on their hands for articulating that idea.'" ... -------
Submitter's Note: "[T]estosterone-laden individuals" and 28 out of 29 peer-reviewed studies showing the opposite. |

TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
