To the exasperation of its opponents, the National Rifle Association has expanded its influence in recent years and pushed an increasingly radical agenda. States have expanded open-carry laws, thanks to NRA pressure, as well as the number of public places where people can carry guns – such as university campuses. Since 2004, 10 states have enacted so-called campus-carry measures, with Kansas set to do so next year.

| Ahh, moving from Cali to Alabama 18 months back and catching a breadth of freedom. How intoxicating, freedom, the stuff that has caused revolutions. |

Hey, Sosalty, from a fellow Alabamian, a belated WELCOME!
Must be a great relief to be in a free state rather than Commiefornia! |

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 |
