As the sound of 12-gauge shotguns becomes increasingly — and ironically — soothing, American politics is seemingly the last thing on anyone’s mind. And it’s almost beautiful the way that something so politically divisive can bring people together. There’s no denying that this is a part of our culture even in a suburb of the most liberal city in the nation.
On the other hand, I’ll admit that as I look around at the various shooting stations, I certainly can’t say I believe that nights like these are worth the deaths of thousands of Americans every year. But I also can’t say that these people are the root of the problem. |

| Could embracing responsible gun owners be a part of the solution? How about Eddie Eagle in K - 3, and licensed permit holders at state universities? This is a clear case of freedom = greater safety. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
