I recently heard a co-worker say her husband admitted he wanted an AK-47 because he liked the idea of having one of the very best assault rifles, that it would be like owning a Porsche and that firing it would be so great. An intern who worked with my daughter expressed surprise that she had never been to a firing range and said she should go, that firing a gun is so much fun. Another colleague also talked about the joys of going to a firing range and owning an arsenal of weapons. None of these people was talking about gun ownership for self-defense purposes. Instead, it was about “fun.” Why should the public’s safety be at the mercy of this mind-set? Mr. King was right. |

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 |
