It’s the end of an eventful year and the beginning of a new one. I had visions of a fresh start as I sat down to write my final political words of 2014. I’ve had a lot to say about American gun culture over the past 12 months and figured it might be refreshing to explore a different issue. But as I perused The New York Times and came across the headline, Woman at Walmart Is Accidentally Shot Dead by 2-Year-Old Son, I was reminded that it’s nearly impossible to forget about guns in this country for any length of time. |

I agree wholeheartedly with this writer's contention gun stories are everywhere. . The media - and various pundits - will go to any lengths to exploit family and personal tragedies involving guns to promote their "progressive" agenda, so long as the content can be manipulated to their ends.
Maybe that's why all the black-on-black and black-on white gun violence gets little attention by these types. Black lives - any color lives - "matter" to most americans. As does the safety of their homes and communities. And firearms in the hands of the law-abiding defend that safety some 2.5 million times annually. But that, apparently, doesn't fit this writer's meme.

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
