Fred Hiatt edits the Washington Post editorial page. He wrote about a “gun free society”. He tried to repackage his gun grab and call it “gun prohibition”. He wrapped his anti-rights bigotry in terms of a “mass buyback”. I immediately noticed Fred’s distortion about violence in the United States.
Fred wants President Barack Obama to issue executive orders and make gun owners into criminals. You don’t use executive orders to change a culture; you use executive orders to disarm the US by force. Fred wants guns to protect Obama’s kids with guns, but not to protect yours.
Let’s take Fred’s ideas to their logical conclusion and look at the gun confiscation he wants. |

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 |
