I applaud this action (automatic knives should also be included), but this statement reveals the mindset of misguided priorities:
“If someone has a novelty item or a legitimate self-defense tool, we really shouldn’t be prosecuting them for that,” Moody said. “That’s not a good use of resources.”
The use of resources is subordinate to the central issue. Liberty and the right of self-defense is primary. Moody's characterization using the words "shouldn't be prosecuting them for that" assumes that the question should be entirely within the states' prerogatives. Upside-down thinking, for sure. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
