We the people of America are once again in a gun fight.
With the increased frequency of mass shootings like the one in Orlando, it seems gun violence is becoming our era's Black Plague.
Mass shootings can be treated, though.
At the heart of the issue is a question of liberty and how we as a nation want to interpret the Second Amendment.
While I worry about the safety of my fellow citizens, I also worry about an emboldened government telling us exactly what we can and can't own.
In the end, reasonable people should have access to reasonable weapons.
But there's got to be a compromise to keep unreasonable weapons out of the hands of unreasonable people. |

What is "unreasonable" with regards guns?
In 1934, full auto, and short-barreled longarms became "unreasonable."
In 1968 mail-order guns became "unreasonable."
In 1986 newly manufactured NFA guns became "unreasonable."
What happens tomorrow? Next year? Next decade?
"Reasonable" ... another name for "compromise" .... which in turn means (to a antigunner) "Do as I say! Surrender your weapons!!!" |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
