Rich out-of-state anti-gun activists are pushing misleading ballot initiatives in Maine, Nevada and California this year. And they’ll be coming to your state soon.
Here is a solid rule of thumb for those who wish to remain free: Do not allow politicians to reduce the complex to the simplistic.
Henry David Thoreau famously proposed that “that government is best which governs least.” And indeed it is. But that government is also best which governs slowly, carefully and deliberately. That democracy is best in which the people understand what is being debated in their name. And that country is best in which politics is conducted with openness, with nuance and with honor—especially where the fundamental rights of the people are at stake. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
