| I am more cynical... Gun control politicians, being fully aware that the laws on the books haven't worked as promised, and will not work as promise, seek to add more restrictions that (they know) will not work as promised. They do this not to actually create a society where no gun violence exists, but to create a political environment where citizens clamor for supposed safety so loudly that they give up their freedom and become slaves to the almighty Government. History is forgotten: Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Communist China... all of the reigns of terror and government-directed murder of their citizens are ignored. History may not exactly repeat itself, but it does rhyme, and it has been a grim tale for many. |

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). |
