We the people of America are once again in a gun fight.
With the increased frequency of mass shootings like the one in Orlando, it seems gun violence is becoming our era's Black Plague.
Mass shootings can be treated, though.
At the heart of the issue is a question of liberty and how we as a nation want to interpret the Second Amendment.
While I worry about the safety of my fellow citizens, I also worry about an emboldened government telling us exactly what we can and can't own.
In the end, reasonable people should have access to reasonable weapons.
But there's got to be a compromise to keep unreasonable weapons out of the hands of unreasonable people. |

What is "unreasonable" with regards guns?
In 1934, full auto, and short-barreled longarms became "unreasonable."
In 1968 mail-order guns became "unreasonable."
In 1986 newly manufactured NFA guns became "unreasonable."
What happens tomorrow? Next year? Next decade?
"Reasonable" ... another name for "compromise" .... which in turn means (to a antigunner) "Do as I say! Surrender your weapons!!!" |

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
