| First he says "keep the laws that work", and then he gives a list of laws that don't work and says we need to keep them... |

I don't know what article you were reading, Mickey.
Here's what he actually said:
Magazine Capacity Restrictions: "Let’s get rid of this failed law."
Outlaw Semi-Automatic Weapons: "Gun prohibition failed to disarm criminals, so let’s get rid of it."
Prohibit Private Citizens from Owning Firearms: "Prohibition fails, so let’s get rid of it."
We need more gun-free zones: "Since murderers like them, let’s get rid of gun free zones."
And finally: "[I] want to get rid of these gun control laws that don’t work." |

Phorto, that would be the article I skimmed.
When I saw 'Demand Universal Background Checks' as the first point, I pretty much stopped reading, so I missed him tearing that demand down, not making it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
