Many in northern Minnesota own guns for hunting or protection and support the Second Amendment's freedom to bear arms. But that doesn't mean they're anti-regulation.
In recent conversations, gun owners here say restrictions are appropriate for assault-style weapons like the one used recently in the Orlando nightclub shooting.
Their comments reveal a practical middle ground on gun ownership and gun restrictions, issues that have resurfaced with the Orlando killings and subsequent "sit-in" on the floor of the United States House of Representatives by Democrats demanding a vote on gun control. |

They are clearly ignorant of the "parity concept" embodied in the Second Amendment.
It's what the damned thing is all about. |

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 |
