A new study shows gun homicides cost New Jersey more than $220 million a year in lost business opportunity, between 2010 and 2014. It also figures each additional homicide in a city causes an annual loss of between $293,000 and $732,000 because people are afraid to work evenings and at night. Those stunning statistics come from the Giffords Law Center, named for the Arizona congresswoman who was shot while meeting with constituents. |

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) |
