These students are being told that stricter gun control laws will somehow make them safer.
With over 22,000 federal, state, and local gun laws currently on the books that would appear to be a blatant lie.
And should they somehow manage to eliminate most if not all of the 400 million firearms estimated to be in private hands, what then? Peace and safety such as we see in Great Britain where their violent crime rate is only five times greater than ours. And cities such as London with a murder rate only slightly higher than New York City. |

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 |
