I’m perfectly at ease around these pieces of hardware. I’m not the least bit fascinated by them, and they hold no special mystique for me. But I’m comfortable with guns.
What I’m uncomfortable with is the modern gun debate. So many parts of it give me the creeps. And every time it flares up — which is what usually occurs after a terrible act of violence with a high body count — I find myself wondering what happened to our humanity. Do we really have more regard for these inanimate pieces of metal than we do our fellow human beings? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
