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... |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
