Refusing to "infringe" on Second Amendment rights and stopping short of "banning specific weapons," Gov. Rick Scott, R-Fla., is working to pass some gun control legislation in his state – because "I'm a dad." "I'm going to do what I can to make sure guns are not in the hands of the wrong people," Scott told "Fox News Sunday." "If you have mental illness you shouldn't have a gun. If you've threatened yourself or threaten others, you shouldn't have a gun.

I like Rick Scott and he's been a good governor. I voted for him twice. But I think he's wrong on this issue. Beefing up methods that so far have proven to be ineffective gives new life to Einstein's view, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."
Arming and training personnel in schools is the only thing that will be effective on the ground, yet it is reflexively dismissed out-of-hand.
People need to get off their irrational prejudices and get it done. |

| Maybe a ban on liberal gun banners owing weapons would be a good idea because they are too stupid to be trusted with firearms. |

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 |
