I’m tired of hearing how important they are for hunting, or target practice, or especially protection. Protect what? A home? If nobody had guns would we have to? I’ll try a 3-iron. Isn’t it comforting to know that wherever you go, including church, the person next to you has a gun strapped on? Chicago is undergoing population extermination. Eight more people shot there one day this week, including a 9-year-old child. How about the woman in her pajamas who called 911 for help and the policeman, upon arrival, shot her to death? Good Lord! |

Yet another dufus who either fails to understand or willfully disregards the concept of pre-existing unalienable fundamental rights, hence should not be allowed to vote.
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose'. This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence." - U.S. v. Cruikshank (1875) |

Cain killed Able with a rock.
There was plenty of violence in the world before guns came into being. Blaming the inanimate tool is a sign of a weak mind. |

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") |
