"In the wake of yesterday’s hearings on several bills containing exemptions to Initiative 594, the Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America (MDA) lobbying group gathered today in Olympia to push for more gun restrictions, while MoveOn.org launched a petition drive in an attempt to push the Washington Legislature to change state law and ban firearms in public libraries."
“'The only way to keep firearms out of Washington public libraries is to change the state law,' the on-line petition appeal states. 'Time to do it. Time to amend RCW 9.41.300 and add public libraries to the list of institutions where guns are banned!" ... |

TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
