| 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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
