The 2019 Utah legislative session, dominated by LDS Republicans, was a stunning exhibit of Mormon values simply forgotten. Dismissed. The honest, otherwise decent legislators are probably good husbands, wives, fathers, mothers and loyal members of their faith. Yet it is shocking to observe the spectacular metamorphosis that occurs when they have to address a gun issue. Suddenly they become rabid, myopic disciples of the NRA, spouting the same old fears about the slippery slope to gun confiscation. |

| Metamorphosis? How about just plain "in defense" of a right protected by the Constitution? Law abiding citizens refuse to take responsibility for the actions of criminals. |

With congresskritter Eric Swalwell and his ilk around, fearing gun confiscation is neither myopic or paranoid.
Swalwell WANTS semiautos CONFISCATED.
Bans and confiscations have happened in this country, despite this author's ignorant blather. Fearing them only means one is informed, not the ignoramus gun banners hope for. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
