At the time of the attack in Las Vegas, Republicans in Congress were getting ready to pass a bill legalizing the purchase of gun silencers. Really! In addition, Collins has introduced a bill that would in effect repeal the SAFE Act and prevent the possibility of a similar law being enacted in any other state. Each of these legislative actions is being proposed in the name of Americans’ right to self-defense under the aegis of the Second Amendment. Have Collins and Reed lost any semblance of sanity? |

It is always the gun control liberals that demand common sense.
If they actually used some common sense they would have to admit:
1. Gun control laws don't work. They only restrict the rights of law abiding citizens. Criminals don't obey laws and will get guns regardless of any laws.
2. In a world without guns, young thugs would run rampant, assaults and robberies would spike out of control, and law abiding citizens (especially us seniors) would be in fear of our lives. The costs for law enforcement would double with little effect on crime. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
