"Now Andy Parker, whose daughter Alison could have been anyone’s daughter last week, speaks with more anger and more clarity about guns than any politician running for President. Alison Parker’s father does this even as this country continues to die a little bit more, one gun death at a time."
"So Alison Parker’s father, talking to the country from a place in his heart raw with grief, will be the latest parent to find out what it is like to go up against the permanent government of guns in America, and against his own government, one too cowardly to do enough about background checks that aren’t tough enough and gaping gun-show loopholes that are so often big enough and wide enough that 16-wheelers can drive through them with ease." ... |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
