| 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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
