This time, they are stark, raving, barking, howling mad. And they may be in charge. “They” would be the legislators who appear driven to make the Second Amendment superior to all our other rights. They would not even interfere with the “right” of a dangerously mentally ill person to have unfettered access to guns and ammunition. And they would block that person’s medical providers from tipping off the cops if their patient is about to explode. |

Obviously Mr. White has joined the "shrinking minority" of hoplophobic ranters willing to mindlessly iterate demonstrably false syllogisms ad infinitum. "Silencer" ? Really, Mr. White. The correct term is "suppressor", or "attenuator". "Silencer" is pure advertising hyperbole by Mr. Maxim perpetuated by hollywood plot fantasies. And individuals' purchase/possession is controlled by the ATFE. As are all firearms purchases from licensed retailers after receiving certification of fitness to possess from the same government agency.
One wonders if Mr. White would be equally accepting of similar restrictions upon his purchase of personal computers/modems or internet access. |

QUOTES
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 |
