I know this column will be wildly unpopular with many readers.
Honestly, I don’t want to write it. I have received all of the emails on this subject that I care to.
However, to do my part as an honest person seeking to use his voice to advance reasonable conversations on important topics, I have to address this issue again.
The lobbyist driven, legislator endorsed gun culture that conservative politics is espousing as the highest expression of liberty has to be stopped before we don’t recognize America anymore.

OK, Mr. Patriot,
What part of "Shall NOT be infringed" do you not understand? |

"Most of these fear-driven gun fetishists would, in reality, relieve their bladders down their pants legs should any situation arise that called for them to return fire."
Gee whizzz... last I checked maybe half a million to a million people used thier legal guns in self-defense each year against some criminal. I don't recall that any of these people peed their pants.
I think this author must be some type of sanctimonious jack-ass. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
