"Advocates of a saner approach to guns need a new strategy."
"We cannot go on like this, wringing our hands in frustration after every tragedy involving firearms. We said 'Enough' after Sandy Hook. We thought the moment for action had come. Yet nothing happened. We are saying 'Enough' after Charleston. But this time, we don't even expect anything to happen."
"What's needed is a long-term national effort to change popular attitudes toward handgun ownership. And we need to insist on protecting the rights of Americans who do not want to be anywhere near guns." ... |

We might as easily demand the "right to be free" from the tyranny of the computer and the internet which are the enabling tools of the "tyranny of the minorities". With an estimated 370+ million privately-owned firearms extant, and more purchased daily how does the writer intend to accomplish his intent without violating several key provisions set forth in our constitution ? Perhaps he does, which pretty well defines the reason for the 2nd. amendment.
Then there's the nasty reality, firearms are mere mechanical devices easily fabricated by anyone with modest tools and skills from readily-available materials and tools. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
