From time to time, I take my life in my own hands and write a column that I know lots of people will not like. This is one of those times.
The headlines in Milwaukee say homicides are up 80 percent. In Chicago they are up 23 percent. In Charlotte five more are dead in a drive-by shooting. The United States is on schedule to set a record of gun deaths in 2015.

So this, guy, if a juror for a murder trial, would vote "Not Guilty" based on the following plea:
"Your Honor, my client pleads not guilty. He didn't kill the victim, the bullet did... and if not the bullet, the handgun from which the bullet was fired. All my client did was to load the bullet into the firearm, point the firearm in the direction of the victim, and gently squeeze the trigger.
My client is innocent. He was at least fifty feet from the victim and could not have inflicted the injuries resulting in death. It's all on the video.
I move for a directed verdict of acquittal." |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
