"In response to Gloria Thomas (Letters, Feb. 5) calling for a boycott of Kroger stores until the chain drops its open-carry policy for gun owners: Gloria, your words are foolish and dangerous. Forget the fact the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the individual right of all citizens to keep and bear arms. Let’s consider recent history. You claim shoppers need not show (carry) a gun to shop in the store. This is a true statement. The same can be said for those attending school in this country. So 'gun-free zones' have been created." ... |

Thanks to the publicity generated by these anti-gun mavens and a co-operative media the crime stats indicate criminal elements are targeting customers of stores acquiescing to their demands.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
