"Anyone listening to the Texas Senate State Affairs Committee public testimony for and against two Senate bills to allow the licensed concealed carrying of handguns at public colleges and the broader licensed open carrying of handguns Thursday must acknowledge that passionate, sometimes even rational arguments exist from all perspectives."
"One must admit some pretty stupid arguments also exist, mostly from obsessed gun activists, much to the chagrin of more grounded Second Amendment advocates.

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 |
