One again we are slapped in the face with the reality of statistics. Last week in Warner Robins a 4-year-old boy found a gun, we don’t know exactly where, but it was somewhere inside the car where he and three other children were riding. We don’t know if it was in the glove compartment or the handbag of the woman who had left the children unattended in the car while she went into a restaurant to pick up food.

Pretty good oped, with two faux pas:
1) The vast majority of 'children' victims counted by the CDC are between 14 and 19 - hardly 'children', and most are involved in gang culture.
2) The perpetual comparison of licensing drivers to licensing gun ownership. These people flatly ignore the fact that if we are to obey the Constitution, a license cannot be required to exercise a fundamental right.
"The enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table." - Antonin Scalia, D.C. v. Heller (2008)

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
