The complications of the gun control debate for Democrats in Texas is hard to miss at the party’s statewide convention this week.
In an exhibit hall at the Fort Worth Convention Center, Moms Demand Action, a group that is calling for changes to gun laws in the Lone Star State, is next to a booth sponsored by the Texas State Rifle Association, which is handing out literature touting its success at opposing many of the measures Moms Demand Action want.
“I’m not here to change hearts and minds,” said Odie Hitt, who was staffing the Texas State Rifle Association’s booth on Friday morning. “I’m just here to give information.” |

Since the left is so anxious to either repeal or amend the Second Amendment to suit their collectivist impulses, I propose an alteration to the First Amendment to suit my Lockean impulses.
The following clause shall be added to Amendment I of the Constitution of the United States: "...except that no religious or political philosophy antithetical to the First Principles upon which this republic stands shall be vested in the offices of government, nor in the laws proceeding therefrom."
Waddaya think? HAH? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
