As the sound of 12-gauge shotguns becomes increasingly — and ironically — soothing, American politics is seemingly the last thing on anyone’s mind. And it’s almost beautiful the way that something so politically divisive can bring people together. There’s no denying that this is a part of our culture even in a suburb of the most liberal city in the nation.
On the other hand, I’ll admit that as I look around at the various shooting stations, I certainly can’t say I believe that nights like these are worth the deaths of thousands of Americans every year. But I also can’t say that these people are the root of the problem. |

| Could embracing responsible gun owners be a part of the solution? How about Eddie Eagle in K - 3, and licensed permit holders at state universities? This is a clear case of freedom = greater safety. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
