Upon reading the story concerning the sentencing of a career criminal ("Allentown man sentenced in bank, car thefts") and several pages later a letter from a reader who apparently is against the Second Amendment, it is again clear why law-abiding citizens who own firearms mistrust any views or proposals to enact even more laws concerning lawful ownership of firearms.
According to the story, the gentleman being sentenced was arrested 20 times, convicted 13 times, paroled 20 times and had that parole revoked 16 times. |

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 |
