"Advocates of a saner approach to guns need a new strategy."
"We cannot go on like this, wringing our hands in frustration after every tragedy involving firearms. We said 'Enough' after Sandy Hook. We thought the moment for action had come. Yet nothing happened. We are saying 'Enough' after Charleston. But this time, we don't even expect anything to happen."
"What's needed is a long-term national effort to change popular attitudes toward handgun ownership. And we need to insist on protecting the rights of Americans who do not want to be anywhere near guns." ... |

We might as easily demand the "right to be free" from the tyranny of the computer and the internet which are the enabling tools of the "tyranny of the minorities". With an estimated 370+ million privately-owned firearms extant, and more purchased daily how does the writer intend to accomplish his intent without violating several key provisions set forth in our constitution ? Perhaps he does, which pretty well defines the reason for the 2nd. amendment.
Then there's the nasty reality, firearms are mere mechanical devices easily fabricated by anyone with modest tools and skills from readily-available materials and tools. |

| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
