This time, they are stark, raving, barking, howling mad. And they may be in charge. “They” would be the legislators who appear driven to make the Second Amendment superior to all our other rights. They would not even interfere with the “right” of a dangerously mentally ill person to have unfettered access to guns and ammunition. And they would block that person’s medical providers from tipping off the cops if their patient is about to explode. |

Obviously Mr. White has joined the "shrinking minority" of hoplophobic ranters willing to mindlessly iterate demonstrably false syllogisms ad infinitum. "Silencer" ? Really, Mr. White. The correct term is "suppressor", or "attenuator". "Silencer" is pure advertising hyperbole by Mr. Maxim perpetuated by hollywood plot fantasies. And individuals' purchase/possession is controlled by the ATFE. As are all firearms purchases from licensed retailers after receiving certification of fitness to possess from the same government agency.
One wonders if Mr. White would be equally accepting of similar restrictions upon his purchase of personal computers/modems or internet access. |

QUOTES
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 |
