Know your enemy. She is 78 years old, less than five feet tall, earns $316,000 a year, packs heat in her purse and lives in Tallahassee. She is Marion Hammer, the Florida lobbyist for the National Rifle Association. Long ago she lived in Gainesville, while her husband studied building construction. Reporter Mike Spies devotes an article to her in the current (March 5) New Yorker magazine. And David Cole, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, chronicles her control of the Florida Legislature in his book entitled “Engines of Liberty.” |

Some better advice:
If you want the republic to still be here when you're 40, keep your mouths shut (and don't vote) until you've lived long enough to understand how life works. |

| Marion Hammer is a patriot. She had nothing to do with the Parkland shooting. Just because you do not agree with does not give you reason to vilify her. |

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]. |
